Daniël Schotborgh
Daniel is a medical doctor with a focus on lifestyle and preventive medicine. For over eleven years he has worked as a mindfulness trainer and coach. He blends medical insight with a deep interest in awareness, personal growth, and inner stability.
His work centers on the present moment. With openness, curiosity, and humor, Daniel invites depth. Always with gentleness and compassion. The aim is not self-improvement, but awareness of patterns and space for who you are at your core.
Daniel supports people who feel ready to make conscious shifts. Some perform at a high level under pressure, while others seek calm, clarity, or emotional balance. Common themes include stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and questions about relationships or identity.
His approach is practical and reflective. As awareness grows, functioning becomes steadier and well-being more accessible. Depending on the challenge, targeted lifestyle changes can further support this process, such as improving sleep, movement, nutrition, or recovery. From there, daily life becomes lighter, relationships more genuine, and inner calm more available.
