About Meri

Hi, I’m Meri Fennema, Intuitive Leadership Coach at Heart Matters Coaching.

I’m a mother of two athletic sons and the partner of Tycho, but beyond my family life, I am passionate about helping others unlock their potential through intuitive coaching.

From a young age, I had a heightened sense of intuition—I could see, hear, and feel things clearly. But at the time, this wasn’t understood or appreciated, and I learned to stay quiet. By the time I reached 46, the frustration of holding myself back and not fully embracing my intuition became overwhelming. I knew I needed to make a change.

That moment was my personal wake-up call. I sought out coaches and mentors who could help me break through my mental barriers and reconnect with my authentic self. My journey began in 2012 with Anthony Robbins, and since then, I’ve immersed myself in transformative coaching experiences.

I think this picture about my journey from 2012 to now says more than 1000 words.

 

In addition to my formal education in Policy and Governance in International Organizations, I’m also a trained breathwork coach, helping people use the power of breath to transform stress, release trauma, and find balance. I’ve further developed expertise in trauma recovery, stress management, the Enneagram, NLP, Live the Connection, life coaching, systemic work, Reiki, and Western shamanism. One of my unique gifts is the ability to sense whether someone is speaking from their heart or their mind—a skill that deepens the coaching experience.

I’ve always felt a connection to the global community. In 2014, I had the privilege of traveling to Liberia with 25 international coaches, an experience that reaffirmed my belief that the world is my workplace.

As a Leadership Coach, my mission is to empower people to take charge of their own lives and lead from a place of authenticity. I know firsthand the value of walking alongside someone who has been where you want to go.
