Wanda Winterboer
Leadership and Life Coach
& People Strategist
My background combines two worlds that shape the way I coach today: Over 20 years of experience in people, strategy, and innovation, and an ongoing fascination about how we grow. This includes training in the Humanities and professional coaching. Over the course of my corporate career, I became increasingly curious about how we create meaningful change in our work and personal lives.
Wanda is the Founder of Grow Nova
When my own journey took me from Africa to Europe, I wanted to combine my curiosity, skills and my passion for helping people and businesses grow. I founded Grow Nova in 2024, to make a difference.
[ Grow Nova is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel in the Netherlands: KvK95449574 ]
My vision is for Grow Nova to be a trusted space where people who feel burdened by over-thinking or undesirable patterns, can slow down and find clarity. A safe landing place for the person who no longer feels connected to the life they wanted – even after making the life/ career change or perhaps moving countries. A useful place, where you can reconnect, explore and grow.

I value the uniqueness and resourcefulness of each person passing through my practice. Above all, I believe that most of the answers that you are looking for, are waiting to be discovered, inside of you.
My approach to coaching
Powerful questions can open the door to meaningful insight and change. However, for many high-achieving people, the mind can also be a place of over-analysis and self-pressure. In my coaching, we explore not only conscious thought patterns, but also the deeper beliefs and body intelligence that shape how we live and lead. As awareness grows, clients often experience greater clarity, self-trust, and a sense of calm. This allows them to move forward in a more aligned way.
My approach combines different coaching modalities, always tailored to the person in front of me. I offer a grounded space where over-thinkers can slow down, untangle the noise, and connect with themselves more fully.
ICF Level 1
Foundational skills and ethics for mindset and result-oriented coaching. In short, this includes powerful questions and techniques. A focus on self-awareness and responsibility.
ICF Level 2
Body-oriented (Somatic) coaching combines body sensing and the wisdom of the body-mind, to access insights about ourselves that are not always available through thinking alone.
Neuro Linguistic Programming recognizes the importance of language, meaning and unconscious processes. Mental techniques to change undesirable patterns which no longer serve us.

” There is nothing more rewarding to me than the moment my client’s eyes light up. That moment when they realise the possibilities available to them. “
