Dare to change — step into calm, focus, and inner leadership. Uncover the power that’s already yours.
My journey is my living testament — a gift to you. Forged in raw experience, shaped by world travels, and deep transformation, it is the compass I use to guide you toward lasting change.
I’m Johan Herder — mindset coach, bodywork practitioner, life architect, and visual storyteller.
I help you bring thought, feeling, and action into alignment — so you can live with calm, focus, and inner leadership. This is not just coaching; it’s a reset of the mind and body. A weaving of bodywork, awareness, conscious routines, and principles from martial arts, Qi-Yo Yoga, cold training, and over a decade of guiding thousands through deep transformation.
My work is forged in the fires of my own journey. Hitchhiking across borders with nothing but trust. Months living without money, finding wealth in human connection. Nights in the jungle, sleeping under a sky heavy with stars. Plant medicines that stripped away everything false, leaving only what was real. And again and again — choosing to follow my heart, even when the path was steep, uncertain, and frightening.
These experiences taught me what no book can: true transformation is not theory — it is lived. It is the courage to write your own story and walk it. And when you dare to lead your life from that place, doors open you never knew existed.
From this ground, I walk beside you — in Drenthe or online worldwide — always practical, always personal, always aimed at change that lasts.
What We’ll Do
We’ll clear the fog from your days. Bring clarity to your routines, your mindset, and your body. We’ll move, go deeper, and focus your attention on what truly matters. Together, we’ll dig to the core — uncover the beliefs that hold you back and create space for calm, focus, and growth.
There are different paths we can walk — or weave together — depending on your physical condition, needs, and goals.
Possible building blocks for your journey:
Mindset exercises & micro-challenges – mental and physical tools you can apply instantly in daily life.
Morning ritual & self-care routines – rooted in Qi-Yo Yoga and martial arts, for focus, energy, and body connection.
Realistic training plan – tailored to your level and lifestyle.
Kambo process (optional) – deep physical and energetic cleansing.
ZenCleanz protocol (optional) – intensive physical detox.
Nutrition & lifestyle – practical guidance for energy and balance.
Social environment & network – clarity on what nourishes you and what drains you.
Creative expression – discover and strengthen your own voice, movement, or form.
Body awareness & physical challenges – learn to listen to your body, know your limits, and stretch them when needed.
Visual portrait (photo or video) (optional) – a tangible anchor for your journey, both therapeutic and a lasting reminder: this is you.
Always practical. Always tailored.
You as the active participant — me as your sounding board, guide, and sparring partner.
Who This Is For
This is for you if you know the old ways no longer work — and it’s time for something real.
You don’t just want to talk — you want to feel, act, and transform.
You want a reset: less noise, more direction.
You seek focus and attention in busy days.
You want to grow inner leadership — making choices that truly fit.
Your mind runs on overdrive, but your body lags behind (stress, tension, fatigue).
You want simple routines you’ll actually keep.
You want a life that aligns with your inner truth — and brings genuine fulfillment.

What Makes This Journey Different
Where many coaches stop at talking, I take you into transformation that lives in both mind and body.
My approach wasn’t born behind a desk — it was forged in the fire of real life. Years of guiding deep transformational processes and training in Qi-Yo Yoga, kungfu, and martial arts, enriched with life experience you can’t buy: learning to trust with minimal means, finding my way in unfamiliar cultures, sleeping under the stars, in the wild, and on the streets, and embracing the unknown as my greatest teacher.

You won’t get a standard step-by-step plan — but a tailored process where we:
Link mindset and bodywork – breaking mental patterns through movement and awareness.
Apply martial arts principles – discipline, structure, and energy management.
Build daily anchors – small, sustainable actions that create lasting change.
Draw from real-life-tested experience – shaped in raw, uncompromising conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Mindset Reset Program
FAQs
1. What exactly is the Mindset Reset Program?
It’s a fully tailored 1-on-1 coaching journey where we work on your mindset, body awareness, and daily routines. We combine coaching, bodywork, martial arts principles, Qi-Yo Yoga, micro-challenges, and practical tools for lasting change.
2. How is this different from regular coaching?
This isn’t just talk-based coaching — it’s a blend of mental and physical work. We align your thinking, feeling, and actions so that change doesn’t just stay in your head, but shows up in your everyday life.
3. How long does the program last?
That depends on your needs and goals. Some people choose just a few intensive sessions, others commit to a program of 4 to 12 weeks or longer.
4. Can this program be fully online?
Yes. I work both in person in Drenthe and online with clients worldwide. Both formats are equally effective — we’ll choose the approach that best fits your situation.
5. Do I need to be athletic or fit to join?
No. The bodywork is always adapted to your level and abilities. The goal is balance and energy — not performance or competition.

No. Ceremonial work is entirely optional and only offered on request. The Mindset Reset Program can be done without it. My experience with these methods can add depth, but the program stands fully on its own.

Your investment depends on the length and intensity of your program. We’ll discuss this after your free intake, so it aligns with your goals, time, and budget.
