About Lena

I believe every woman already has the answers. My job is to help you feel them.

I'm Lena Röpert. Embodied coach, yoga teacher, mother of two, based in Haarlem. I help women reconnect with their body, their intuition, and their own answers during life's big changes.

From stage to mat to you

My path started on stage. As a trained actress in Germany, I spent years learning the art of presence: how to read a room, how to inhabit my body, how to notice the subtle shifts in expression, voice, and posture that reveal what words don't say. That training became the foundation for everything I do now.

Yoga found me over sixteen years ago, and it quietly changed everything. What started as a physical practice became a way of understanding myself. My breath, my cycles, my capacity for stillness. I trained as a yoga teacher, then specialized in prenatal, postnatal, and restorative yoga, because I saw how much women's bodies needed care during these changes.

Then I became a mother myself. Matrescence (the identity shift of becoming a parent) hit me full force. I experienced what it means to lose your sense of self and have to find your way back. That's what led me to embodied coaching: body awareness from yoga, presence from acting, and knowing firsthand what it's like to go through big change.

Now I work with women in the middle of their own changes. Motherhood, menopause, career shifts, identity questions. I help them find their way back to themselves. Not through theory, but through the body. Because the body always knows.

My Philosophy

The body always knows

I believe that every human being is naturally resourceful, creative, and whole. You don't need fixing. You need to reconnect with what you already know.

Most coaching happens in the head. We talk, we analyze, we make plans. But the body knows things the mind can't figure out by thinking. Tension, breath patterns, posture, the way you hold your jaw. These are all messages. My work is to help you listen.

I make room for all of it. The messy, the uncomfortable, the taboo. Menstruation, menopause, death, doubt, rage, grief. These are not problems to solve. They are part of being human, and they deserve warmth, not avoidance.

You don't need fixing. You need space to reconnect with what you already know.

What I bring

Embodied Approach

Coaching that lives in the body. Movement, breath, and somatic awareness are part of every session.

Acting-Trained Presence

16+ years of training in expression, presence, and reading what's left unsaid. Micro-expressions, voice, posture.

Lived Experience

I've walked through matrescence myself. I coach from experience, not theory.

Safe Space for Taboo

Menstruation, menopause, death, doubt. Nothing is off the table. Warmth creates safety.
