About Kirti
Befriend my Mind
How my life experiences support you
My journey is very diverse and non-linear. It began on a Dutch Caribbean island where multilingualism was a way of life.
I’ve lived in various countries and realised trying to fit in was very stressful. I also noticed that no matter how much mindfulness or meditation we do, the skill to to trust and express ourselves is crucial.
So for over 20 years, I wanted to know the secret on how can we be ourselves no matter what circumstances we are in. With this rich tapestry me, I created an approach how to befriend the mind which offers strategies, how to be, act and communication with a calm composure in complex situations.

My Philosophy
How I Got Started
My Philosophy
Mindful Communication, Meaningful Relationships
Through my career, I’ve observed a common thread:
people often struggle to speak their truth because of fear—fear of judgment, rejection, or misunderstanding. Life transitions, multiethnic identities, and diverse environments can make genuine storytelling feel both complex and overwhelming.
True success isn’t just about what you know; it’s about who you know and, more importantly, how you communicate to foster meaningful relationships.
My approach is simple yet powerful
- Cultivate calm composure and clarity of purpose.
- Develop thoughtful communication with actionable techniques.
- Achieve truthful visibility while embracing your unique voice.
I work with individuals and organizations to craft stories that resonate with the right audience while staying true to their identity.
