You Hold the World Together. But Who Holds You?
Stop performing strength. Come home to the life you were born for.
All of my work happens in person at my estate in nature (and occasionally through Zoom).
Each path offers a different level of depth — start where your Soul says yes.
On the Outside: Success. On the Inside: Quiet Exhaustion.
You carry your team, your clients, your family.
You make it look effortless.
And no one sees the quiet cost.
Deep down, you know:
“I can’t keep doing this like this.”
This is the threshold.
The moment you stop surviving and start living from Soul.
I Don’t Offer ‘normal’ Coaching or Programs. I Offer Homecomings.
I’m Suze Maclaine Pont — trauma therapist, theologian, and mentor for high-functioning doctors, therapists, coaches and healthcatre professionals who have achieved everything, yet feel quietly lost in their own success.
Our system is not set up for nervous system regulation. In the training around theory, tools and techniques somethign incredibaly important is lacking: how to be present in all that your client is going through.
While we all know deep down that in connection clients find the biggest relief, we are often taught to fix them, to heal them, to work on their issues and patterns. Where as their nervous system often has not built the regulation skills they need. There is no tool for that except YOU as your whole being.
So if you feel overwhelmed by clients, doubt wether you are good enough or lack energy and face burn out, you are NOT alone. This second leg never got any attention in training, while no one can stand on jst one leg long enough without creating problems in other areas…
What you DO is good. The problem is not that, the problem is that no one told you how to truly take care of you. They all assumed you learnt that somewhere in school…
I don’t hand out tools or strategies. I don’t offer online courses that leave you to ‘fix yourself’ at home.
I guide you to become the vessel strong enough to hold the life you were born for — without abandoning yourself.
If you are looking for 1:1 sessions, my husband Jakko Smit will take excellent care of you
Loneliness is a theme I know very well. I (born 1969) come from a Reformed family in the Netherlands, with parents born in 1931 and 1936. I'm the youngest of four children. Materially, I lacked for nothing, but emotionally, I did. I had a paralyzing fear of my father; my mother was present, and yet… emotionally absent. Until I was 35, I could only "feel" with my mind.
During and shortly after graduating at 24, I didn't want to live anymore. I sought help from a psychotherapist. Three years later, I sought help again. At 25, I had my first serious relationship. The relationship brought many positive things, but it didn't help me escape my loneliness, my feeling of being trapped in a haze. There was always a haze between me and others, between me and the world, even in company. Six years later, the relationship proved insurmountable to my inability for intimacy and vulnerability.
In 2005, I met Suze. That was the beginning of a different life. Although I experienced it immediately, my past weighed heavily on my neck. Everything I had learned and trained to survive seemed to get in the way… and proved to be persistent. Little by little, through many crises and despair, and with much help, training, and introspection, I emerged from my inability to experience intimacy.
I have since completed the two-year Integrative Trauma Therapy program. I have helped numerous clients. In 2022, I published a novel titled B&B. The loneliness is behind me. I am an open book, but everywhere I go, I connect. My greatest strength is to approach and invite others from an undefended state.
My specialties are developmental trauma or childhood trauma and relationship issues.
