I am Sien, and I love talking about boundaries and intuition. It all started when I was adopted from China at age 5, beginning a journey that profoundly shaped me.
I grew up in The Netherlands with a Dutch mother, an Indonesian father and a Congolese brother. During the adoption process, my younger self was very aware of my desire to return to my birthfamily and was unafraid to express it. I tried my best to communicate this longing. However, it was here that I learned a crucial lesson: speaking up doesn’t always guarantee that others will listen to your needs or respect your boundaries.

In my teens, I studied dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, dedicating four hours a day for eight years. This led to constant mental and physical pressure, but I failed to understand the importance of rest, resulting in a burn out at seventeen. In the years that followed, I encountered people with narcissistic traits who effortlessly ignored boundaries. But this time I made a resolute choice to win.  
In my mid-twenties, I obtained my Social Work Diploma, delving into psychology and sociology. Yet, I felt that something was missing. What about our body and intuition? This question led me to explore healing and intuition courses, deepening my grasp of the mind-body-spirit connection.

With the wisdom gained from these experiences, I discovered Acceptance, Commitment, Therapy (ACT) coaching, a method that integrated all that I had learned into a harmonious whole. It was here that my vision began to take shape: 
I created “The Inner Campfire®,” a sanctuary, a safe space where you can recharge, align yourself, and find the courage to speak up.
