Intuitive Running
Tune into Your Inner Voice
"The primary wisdom is intuition; all later teachings are extensions of this."
Hello Everyone!
Welcome! My name is Richard, born on a beautiful spring day, April 1st, 1967, in the vibrant city of Hilversum, Netherlands. My journey with running began at the age of 13, not out of love at first sight, but on my mother’s advice to burn off some excess energy. Until one morning, after years of unhealthy living, I looked in the mirror and no longer recognized the person staring back. In that moment of clarity, I knew it was time for a change.
That change began with a simple yet powerful phrase I read: “To heal is to make happy. I have told you to think how many opportunities you have had to gladden yourself, and how many you have refused. This is the same as telling you that you have refused to heal yourself.” Immediately after reading this, the most gentle voice I’ve ever heard asked, “Are you willing to make happy?” The only way I knew how was with the help of my old friend, running. And so my journey towards a healthier life began, which ultimately led to what is now known as Intuitive Running.
Intuitive Running is much more than just physical exercise. It’s a way to listen to the comforting inner voice of wisdom and trust, reconnecting with your intuition. It helps not only keep the mind and body healthy, but also fuels creativity and ambitions.
Having experienced my own transformation with Intuitive Running, as well as witnessing that of close friends and family, I decided to share this knowledge and experience with others through (online) courses, coaching, and workshops. Not only because I truly believe that everyone has the potential to transform their life through happiness, but also because everyone deserves the opportunity to gladden themselves.
In addition to my work with Intuitive Running, I am also an international Brand Culture Specialist, specialized in Experience Design. This means I don’t focus on short-term or trendy marketing strategies that work from the outside in, but instead create sustainable transformations that come from within organizations.
"I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health."
Through coaching, workshops, and training, I help companies strengthen their internal brand identity and culture so that it seamlessly aligns with their core values. When employees feel connected to the authentic values of their organization, this radiates outward, creating a consistent and authentic experience that delivers lasting value and growth.
It is my mission to help both individuals and organizations become stronger, more vital, and more self-aware. Whether it’s about creating an inspiring culture from within an organization, or supporting Best-Ager and Best-Ager+ together with Heike via our (German) website, in transitioning into a new phase of life with confidence and vitality, my approach is always focused on deep, sustainable change from within.
Let’s discover together what’s possible when you start listening to your inner voice and move in a way that aligns with your life and goals. Let’s (re)connect!
