Meet our coaches
Experienced coaches in outdoor coaching and personal development
At InnerTrail Sweden, we collaborate with experienced coaches, each bringing their own expertise and style. What unites them is the belief that true growth happens outside your daily environment, in Swedish nature.
Bart Cox - Friluft Sweden
Bart chose to move to Sweden to create a life that truly energizes him: closer to nature and aligned with what matters most to him.
Bart has an educational background, having worked for many years with students at Summa College Eindhoven. With a degree in physical education (ALO) and a passion for nature, wildlife and birds, he brings movement, awareness, and hands-on experience together in his coaching approach.
After completing an NLP training, he further developed his skills as a coach, focusing on awareness and personal growth. InnerTrail Sweden emerged from Friluft Sweden, driven by his desire to offer deeper experiences and guide others in their journey toward a life that truly aligns with who they are.
- Bart is present at all trails and, together with the other coaches, guides participants through each experience, leading them step by step in both active and reflective exercises.
Jan Willem Westerbos - Mijn Krachtig Pad
Jan Willem, founder of Mijn Krachtig Pad, guides people in discovering their own powerful path. With a combination of honesty, kindness, and attention, he helps participants gain insight into their behavior, choices, and patterns.
His interest in guiding people began during his studies at the Academy of Physical Education. Later, his experiences in the military and various coaching programs deepened his understanding of personal development, leadership, and human behavior. Drawing on this broad background, he combines movement, challenge, and reflection in his coaching.
Jan Willem believes that real insights often emerge when you start moving both literally and figuratively. That’s why he prefers working outdoors, where nature, physical experience, and conversation reinforce each other. At the edge of comfort and discomfort, he helps people pause and reflect on what truly matters to them, and from there make conscious choices.
With his warm and engaged style, he creates an environment where there is space for both strength and vulnerability. He invites participants to look at themselves with curiosity and to take responsibility for the steps they want to take.
Niels Loendersloot - Bolsterkracht
With a calm and direct approach, Niels helps you get to the heart of the matter.
Niels spent many years working in the technology sector in roles with high responsibility, fast pace, and complexity. It was there that he realized how easy it is, both as a leader and as a person, to lose touch with yourself. Die ervaring vormt de basis van zijn werk.
Today, he guides others through his company Bolsterkracht leaders and professionals in rediscovering direction, calm, and ownership. Not by adding more knowledge, but by creating space for what is already there and wants to be acknowledged
His approach is experiential and direct when needed, with attention to what is happening beneath the surface. He is a certified Master Coach through the International Coaching Federation and has accumulated over 3,500 coaching hours over the past 10 years.
- For Niels, InnerTrail Sweden is a place where everything comes together: nature, slowing down, and meaningful conversations. He is one of the coaches on the Leadership Trail.
Adri Bogaards - Jaws Let's Talk
Adri has long been driven by a fundamental question: who am I, and how have I become the person I am today? This curiosity about human behavior and personal development forms the foundation of his work as a coach.
Adri began his career in healthcare, gaining experience in hospitals and mental health care, working with both adults and adolescents. Over time, he moved into leadership roles and education. Along the way, he completed various trainings and developed himself as a coach.
In his coaching, Adri combines NLP, systemic work, and body-oriented approaches with a warm, grounded, and human style. He creates a safe and open environment where you can explore without judgment. With genuine attention and direct questions, he helps you get to the core and open up space for new insights.
Adri works with both individuals and groups, supporting them in rediscovering direction, calm, and personal strength. His approach is engaged and inviting, with a strong focus on what lies beneath the surface. He helps you recognize patterns, take ownership, and move forward in a way that truly fits who you are.
- At InnerTrail Sweden, Adri brings depth, presence, and genuine attention. He guides participants druring the trail 'Mannen op Pad', slowing down, reconnecting, and finding clarity within themselves.
