Astrid provides advisory services on the ongoing process toward true sustainability. She is furthermore a keen walker, nature photographer and writer of poetry.

Born in the Netherlands in 1965, Astrid has a background in Linguistics, Communication and Environmental Philosophy. It is from the blending of these aspects of human communication and philosophical contemplation that derives the inspiring approach she has developed over many years, and that forms the foundation of her current work as a sustainability advisor, facilitator and management coach.

Astrid’s approach is based both on ethical and ecological principles, endorsing the basic reality that the relationship between humanity and its natural world is one of interdependence. Her value-based approach encourages us to contemplate our own core values, world view and subsequent ideas in order to develop practical tools that can help to improve the social, economic and political design of our society. Working on individual and collective levels, stimulating us to use our human capacity to think, design, connect, create and improve.
