MEET OUR COACHES<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>At Kayanova, you are surrounded by people who are ready to help with their heart and soul. Coaches, yoga teachers, creative facilitators, and chefs, each with their own journey of growth, life experience, and genuine passion. Together, our team creates a place where you feel welcome and supported so you can return home with lightness, clarity, and new insights. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Bernadette Laermans<\/h3><\/div>Bernadette works at the intersection of science, human behaviour and leadership. As a senior trainer, coach and former leader in the corporate world, she understands what it feels like to function under pressure. For more than twenty years, she has guided employees, leaders and entrepreneurs towards more calm, clarity and conscious choice-making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn her own life, Bernadette also lived at a high pace for many years. As a mother and entrepreneur, keeping going had become the norm. Performing, caring and constantly moving, often at high intensity. Until she discovered the power of yoga therapy. During her training, she learned in a scientifically grounded way what it truly means to feel, to connect with the body and to listen to signals that have often been present for a long time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nToday, Bernadette combines insights from neuroscience, physiology, psychology, hormonal balance, breathwork and somatic work. She helps you understand how your brain and nervous system respond under pressure, and how to create space again between stimulus and reaction. Her approach is clear, practical and profound. She is a guide, coach and sparring partner. Without judgement, but with sharpness and presence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBernadette is a certified stress and burnout coach, internationally certified in yoga therapy and the nervous system, and a trauma-informed facilitator. Her vision is clear: strong leadership does not begin with doing more. It begins with understanding how you function.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/a>\n <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%272000%27%20height%3D%272500%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%202000%202500%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%272000%27%20height%3D%272500%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\")
