Esther van der Sande,  founder of Beside Consulting

For over 20 years, I have been helping people and organisations deal with emotional sensitivity and change.

Working in the corporate world for more than a decade, I was drawn to consulting and I realised that building interpersonal relationships is actually a big part of running an organisation. Eventually, I left to enhance my knowledge and pursue my calling to empower others and eventually co-founded Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Australia and established Trauma-Sensitive Yoga here in the Netherlands.

As a consultant to organisations, I bring a more holistic approach to the mental well-being of their workforce. My mission is to raise awareness of emotional diversity and help organisations to build an emotionally sensitive culture that empowers employees to be emotionally ready for change.
