Path to Lighter Life

Ush

Actually, everything on my path so far has inspired me to do the things I still do for people today.

Vanessa (background photo 2017) in Uganda (Kampala – Zana) had created her own language; she was living in a difficult situation. She has been my inspiration to help broken people come to life.

I went to Uganda in 2015 and later (December 2022) to Rwanda, by invitation. I had already dreamed of Africa before; I heard their music in my dreams and saw their nature. Through a family reunion, I got in touch with people in Africa.
Going beyond your own limits takes courage. I went. Both to my family in America and to Uganda. I met people who wanted to help make life more beautiful. And that’s how my Army of Love in Uganda came to be.

In Uganda, boxing found me, and I developed boxing coaching. For people who aren’t big talkers and want to take themselves to a higher level. It turned out to unlock a lot within me.

Much trauma is transgenerational, and it’s important, for yourself and the next generation, not to normalize what isn’t normal. 

I let go of the Army of Love in Uganda. The concept still lives within me. At Horizon House and beyond, I approach people wearing my Army of Love lens. That way, I can clearly see who and what fits with my mission.

Horizon House (HH) is a working method with certain characteristics. HH is for people (coaches) who have a heart for others, a specific professional art of working with people in need, and a healthy, happy, and energetic lifestyle. HH is for people (coachees) who are looking for a way to create a healthier, happier, and more energetic life.

Together with other professionals, whom I keep in mind within the Horizon House (HH) concept, I love to inspire others to live more consciously, lovingly, and happily, more in connection with themselves and others. That is Army of Love.

Welcome

"Jolanda en ik kennen elkaar al lang en wat ik zeer waardeer is hoe respectvol en zonder vooroordeel ze je de juiste antwoorden kunt laten geven op je eigen vragen. Door de gesprekken helpt ze echt mee om juist meer duidelijkheid voor jezelf te krijgen. Ze is rustig en neemt de tijd om naar je te luisteren voordat ze met een mening komt. Juist de betrokkenheid en het feit dat ze openstaat voor andere meningen is van grote waarde."
