Britt Das, walking coach in Amsterdam and on Terschelling
I walked them alone, all the way to Tibet. Those kilometres taught me everything about persevering, letting go and really listening.
You don’t have to face your crossroads alone.
I’ll walk the next stretch with you.
On the way
After three days of walking, the pretending stops.
Whether you cross 17 countries to Tibet or walk the Pieterpad, a long-distance trail through the Netherlands: after a few days the outer layers fall away. You stop playing the ‘perfect version’ of yourself. That is where, on the way, the conversations that matter begin.
I walk alongside you. Not by the clock, but for as long as you need.
How I work
Real connection.
Silence, arriving, and letting someone tell their story.
Its power lies in the narrative approach: putting the essence of yourself into words.
On a walk, the surroundings do part of the work. A bird of prey overhead, a twisted pine, a blanket of cloud — people find their own image in it, and that image stays with them longer than anything I could say. I leave room for that and don’t fill in the blanks too quickly. And I make sure you take something home with you.
Who it’s for
For anyone standing at a crossroads.
You can feel that something wants to change. The job that has quietly been draining your energy for too long. A relationship that is taking a different shape. Or simply the longing to let go of something old and finally start on what you really want.
Deep down, you already know. You just haven’t said it out loud yet.
What I offer
What does it involve?
Start
Introductory walk
We walk together, with no strings attached. Simply to feel whether there’s a connection.
Programme
A first conversation and five coaching walks
Around Amsterdam or near where you live. After each walk we agree on one concrete step.
Tailor-made
Walking retreat
Three days of walking and staying overnight, because it takes a few days to reach the core. On Terschelling or along the Pieterpad. With two follow-up days.
Business
For companies
In the office everyone is ‘switched on’. Outside, that falls away and your team can finally breathe.

My method
The DAS model
My own coaching model, the green thread running through every programme. DAS is my name, and it stands for three phases in Dutch: Doorvoelen, Afstemmen and Sturen.
- 1Doorvoelen · Feel. The starting point. First we look at what’s really going on, in a safe space without judgement. You feel truly seen.
- 2Afstemmen · Attune. The heart of the programme. As we walk, we bring body, feelings and thoughts into line with the direction you choose.
- 3Sturen · Navigate. The result. You take concrete steps you believe in, and you stay in charge.
You already have everything you need to change. I help you discover it for yourself.
The DAS model is aligned with the NOBCO/EMCC competence framework.
Every walk
The Alignment Walk
Within Attune, every coaching walk follows The Alignment Walk: six phases in which head, body and feelings come into line with where you want to go.
- 1Arrive. We start slowly. From your head into your body, so you are really present.
- 2Assume. What do you want? We make it concrete, as if it were already true.
- 3Attune. You feel what that is like while you walk.
- 4Adjust. If an old story gets in the way, we look at it together.
- 5Anchor. You take an anchor home with you, something you can repeat.
- 6Affirm. We let it land, and you leave with one concrete step.
A walk takes about an hour and a half, so there’s time, and no rush.
About me
Walker, entrepreneur, coach.
In 2007 and 2008 I walked 10,344 km through 17 countries, on my way to Tibet. I have also walked the Camino, the Inca Trail, the Biafo Hispar trek in Pakistan and Racing the Planet in Georgia. What I learned along the way goes into every walk.
Before that, I spent twenty years in concept design, retail and management. I trained at the Rozenbrood Trend Academy and as a walking coach, and since 2015 I have guided people, students and teams on foot, including for HAN University of Applied Sciences and Vans. At De Gunpowderstudio in Zaandam I run creative workshops.
I live in Zaandam, just outside Amsterdam, and grew up on Terschelling. My coaching walks take place around Amsterdam, or near you on request. For a retreat we go to Terschelling or the Pieterpad.
I trained as a walking coach at Wandelcoach.nl, a NOBCO-accredited training provider, and am now completing the NOBCO Practitioner programme.
