Hi, I'm Indy Thijn.

Onderzoeker van systemen en bouwer van nieuwe wegen in en rond het onderwijs.

​

Als kind voelde ik al een diepe verbinding met mens, dier en natuur. Ik was anders dan de meeste andere kinderen en zei van jongs af aan vaak dingen die kloppend en puur waren, maar die niet zo makkelijk werden aangenomen van een kind. Wat toen een grote nieuwsgierigheid en eigenwijsheid was in combinatie met helder weten, is nu mijn professionele kern: het doorzien van patronen, het blootleggen van wat onder de oppervlakte speelt en het openen van nieuwe mogelijkheden waar systemen vastlopen.

​

Lang heb ik geprobeerd me aan te passen aan de wereld om me heen tot ik ontdekte dat juist mijn gevoeligheid en scherpe blik mijn kracht zijn.

​

Mijn professionele reis bracht me vanuit de marketingwereld naar onderwijs en jeugdzorg, waardoor ik ervaring opdeed op veel verschillende lagen. 

Even as a child, I felt a deep connection with people, animals, and nature. I often said things that were relevant and pure in the moment, but which weren't accepted from a child. What seemed premature at the time has now proven to be my greatest strength: the sharpness and sensitivity with which I guide people to breakthroughs today.

For a long time, I tried to adapt to better fit into the world around me. Until I discovered that my sensitivity and keen eye are my strengths. I received the greatest mirror when I became a mother: my son shows me every day how pure and wise children are by nature, and how important it is that we recognize and support them in that. Just like the children I work with.

My professional journey took me from marketing to education and youth care, allowing me to gain broad experience across all levels. I've worked as a Bildung advisor, executive board member, teacher assistant, coach, youth care worker, and mentor for gifted homeschoolers (whom I've gradually come to call "wake-up callers").

Even though I have a large toolbox, I rarely work from a single, standardized method, but primarily through direct coordination. This means you can't miss the point with me: we reach the breakthrough, without any detours. I combine intuition with knowledge and experience, bringing together insight and practical steps.

You can contact me for day care and initiatives for children who can hardly or not at all go to school (the wake-up callers), coaching parents of wake-up callers in breakthroughs and researching and transforming within the education system together with changemakers.

I believe in a world where children are allowed to remain whole and where education and upbringing are in harmony with the greater whole of which we are a part: connected with head, heart, body and soul.

Towards a generation in balance.
