WHY I DO THE THING I DO…

“There is nothing more sacred to me than the moment someone remembers who they really are.”

— Suze Maclaine Pont, Soul Healer, Trauma Guide, and Shipbuilder for the Human Spirit

What if you could build
your dream business without sacrificing your family
or financial security?

“What if you could build
your dream business without sacrificing your family or financial security?”

Are you compromising your own energy, talents and dreams because your family really needs you?

Are you holding off what you KNOW you should be doing because there is always something more urgent with kids, projects, your spouse or ‘life’?

Are you afraid of losing everything you built up if you were to answer your inner calling!

From Steel to Soul: A Life Rebuilt from the Inside Out

I wasn’t always a guide for others.
I began as a naval architect — designing ships that could weather any storm. It was a fitting metaphor I didn’t yet recognize: I wasn’t here to fix broken boats.
I was here to help people become vessels strong enough to hold life.

“I started my first business at 25.”

I was brilliant at managing projects, growing revenue, bringing people together. I could take months off each year, invest in every course I loved, and earn more than most would dream of. On the outside, it looked like success.
And in many ways, it was.
But then came the deeper test.

I got pregnant.
And suddenly, the systems I’d built couldn’t hold the sacredness of life. Not mine, not my child’s. I was faced with what looked like a choice — keep earning but disconnect, or stay connected and sacrifice.

Neither was an option.
That was my first real initiation into soul-led living.

A Few Things That Make Me Me

I live with my family in the countryside of the Netherlands, where the air is quiet and the Soul can breathe.

I’m married to Jakko — a trauma therapist in his own right — and together we raise our kids in a home filled with honesty, laughter, and long, slow meals.

I still build ships. Not with steel, but with stories and presence. My favorite metaphor is the self-righting rescue vessel — a boat designed to flip, and always return.

My kitchen is often filled with retreat participants, chopping vegetables and singing as we cook. I believe healing happens just as much in the silence between sessions as it does in the work itself.

I love Hebrew kabbalah, Christian mysticism, ancient texts, and the art of weaving spiritual truth into the cracks of daily life.

And I cry easily when people return to themselves. It never gets old. It is always holy.

The Turning Point” → “When It All Fell Apart — and Came Together

Around that time, I met Jakko — the man who would become my husband.
He was willing to stand with me. But I had no idea how to let love in.
The fear in me ran too deep.

Debt was growing. My business was faltering. I was exhausted.
And I did what so many smart, spiritual, well-trained people do — I tried to fix it. Strategize. Learn more. Work harder.

But nothing worked.
Because the real problem wasn’t out there.
The real problem was the relationship I had built with life itself.

That was the moment everything changed.
I stopped trying to fix.
I started listening.
And I let God, and love, back in.

What I Teach, I’ve Lived” → “I Don’t Teach Tools. I Teach Truth I’ve Lived.

What came next wasn’t a tool or a tactic. It was a deep remembering of the Soul’s thread beneath every pattern, every block, every trauma.

The system I built didn’t just bring me back into financial harmony.
It healed my relationship with love, time, presence, motherhood.
It aligned my outer world with the truth of who I am.

And now, it lives in everything I teach.

From the Integrative Trauma Therapy Certification
to the Divine Warrior Retreat
to the Speaking Miracles Week
to the online courses, rituals, and sacred spaces I hold —
my work is not about adding more.
It’s about stripping everything back
until only the Divine in you remains.

You Are Not Broken. You Are Being Called.

So many of us are deeply gifted — but carrying survival patterns that block us from truly living.

We’ve learned to chase goals from fear.
To hustle.
To wait for permission.
To seek freedom through money, instead of letting freedom call the money to us.

I teach something different.

I teach you to remember who you are.

To build a business and a life that is uncompromisingly aligned with the Divine thread inside you.
To live and lead from a place where Soul meets strategy, and nothing in you has to be pushed aside.

If You’re Still Reading, You’re Already Being Called

This is not just about money. Or healing. Or success.
It’s about walking as the person God made you to be —
even when you’re afraid.

I will walk beside you.
I will not hand you tools to fix yourself.
I will help you become the vessel that can hold everything your Soul came here to do.

Welcome home.


Suze

If something in you stirred as you read…


if your Soul whispered, “this is what I’ve been waiting for” —

then the next right step may not be another course,
but a return.

A return to yourself.
A return to what you already know.

Come walk with me at the Divine Warrior Retreat

“The Divine Warrior Retreat is not a training. It’s not a fix.
It’s a sacred return — to the still, steady thread within you.
If something inside stirred… you already know.
Come home to the truth that never left.”

The results speak for themselves…

“After a very intense and sad period in my life I was looking for an acceleration in my development and needed a helping hand to get there”

Three days filled with time and attention, a treasure; both for my personal and business development. Both Suze’s warmth and professional interventions as well as the other people in the group were a gift.

The seminar gave me exactly what I was looking for: an acceleration to dive back into my business & personal growth. And above all an enhanced zest for life and enjoyment of my true talents.

The seminar brought me way more than I could have imagined it to. To speak in terms of Michelin: worth the journey!”
