About Hilde

I’m Hilde Marguérite, founder of Art of Life Coaching and a Certified Master Life Coach based in Curaçao.

Albert Einstein once said, “Nothing happens until something moves.” I couldn’t agree more. Years ago I went through a profound life transition myself when I moved from Europe to the Caribbean.

I experienced firsthand how moments of change can feel both exciting and uncertain. I know the feeling of being stuck, questioning your direction and trying to find clarity while navigating life’s challenges.

Today I live and work in Curacao, where I run two thriving businesses. Through Art of Life Coaching, I support individuals and expats who are navigating important life transitions and seeking greater clarity, purpose and balance in their lives.

Together with my husband, I also run Maxie Sailing, where we organize exclusive private sailing experiences and coaching retreats on our sailing yacht. Being on the water often creates a natural space for reflection, perspective and meaningful conversations about life and direction.

My Coaching Philosophy

Life transitions often invite us to pause and reflect. Moving abroad, changing direction in midlife, navigating relationship changes, or simply feeling that something in life needs to shift can raise important questions about purpose, balance and personal fulfillment.

Coaching offers a supportive and confidential space to explore these questions with clarity and curiosity. My intention is to help you reconnect with your strengths, gain insight into what truly matters to you and create a meaningful next chapter in your life.

My coaching approach brings together insights from several fields that I have cultivated over the years, including modern applied psychology, life coaching, mentoring, entrepreneurship and mental well-being.

As a lifelong learner, I continuously deepen my coaching skills and knowledge to ensure that I provide thoughtful, high-quality support to my coachees.

When you work with me, you partner with a coach who combines professional expertise with lived experience of personal transformation and international life transitions.
