Desiree's Story
How It All Started
Back in 1997, at just 23 years old, I stepped into the world of law. Fresh out of university with a master’s degree in Aruban law, I passionately threw myself into the legal profession and spent a little more than a decade practicing as a lawyer. On the surface, it was all about winning cases and satisfying clients, but behind the scenes, what struck me was the emotional weight people carried. I often found myself face-to-face with couples who didn’t actually want to divorce, yet couldn’t find their way through the struggles. I saw the pain, the frustration, and the longing for something different. And slowly, I realized my calling wasn’t about solving legal matters, it was about guiding people through the deeper, more personal challenges that my knowledge of law alone couldn’t touch. That realization prompted me to reevaluate my career path. After a decade dedicated to self-discovery, learning, and extensive training, I founded DS Love Coach in 2018, a life and relationship coaching practice, where I helped individuals and couples self-reflect, heal, and grow in their relationships.

Blending Passions
Seeking peace of mind and stress relief during a challenging moment in my life, I had an impactful experience with sound therapy, to such an extent that it completely transformed my life and shifted my perspective from box thinking to endless possibilities. The power of sound to relieve stress and calm the nervous system, to bring emotional balance and create inner stillness ... for years, it felt like the missing link.
​​​​​​
I followed that inner nudge by training in sound-based therapy, and in 2023 I began integrating it into my coaching practice.
I see this work not simply as a tool, but as a gentle catalyst for change, supporting the body and mind in releasing stress, settling the nervous system, and creating space for real, lasting shifts to unfold naturally.
At the heart of my approach is a blend of compassionate guidance and deeply restorative techniques, allowing me to support you in a way that feels grounded, supportive, and holistic.
Because true wellness is about feeling balanced in your body, clear in your thoughts, and at ease with yourself.
