You can always contact T!NT for a conversation when there are things that might be troubling you. Life entails more than just studying and sometimes you are met by challenges that might be difficult to handle by yourself. This can be anything. How do you cope with your parent's expectations? What do you really want in life? How do you keep from losing yourself in a relationship or friendship? It could also involve more painful experiences which at first might seem insurmountable to you. Experiences of loss because of someone dying who was close to you or if your parents suddenly decided to divorce.

Personal Life Coach Elisabeth will gladly take the time to listen, help and think along with you.

My name is Elisabeth Fricker, and I've been working as a personal life coach for T!NT since 1997. Yet every year feels like a new beginning, when a new generation of students arrives. New people, with new names and faces. Young people, motivated and imbued with their (usually technical) discipline.

This environment inspires me; the dynamics of study, research, innovation and problem-solving. I enjoy the challenge of organizing, with and for students, all kinds of activities concerning personal development and spirituality, ethics and social engagement, dialogue and meetings with international students.

I'm a people-person and I'm always interested in why people do what they do, why they choose what they choose. What is their drive in life? What is their passion and their deeper desire? In my eyes, these questions are key to finding meaning in our lives. I like to have an open conversation with students about these issues. I believe very much in the personal power of people and their ability to develop leadership.

Myself, I studied at the universities of Fribourg (Switzerland) and Nijmegen (The Netherlands), where I received a master's degree in theology. I have a special interest in mysticism, meditation, and personal leaderschip. Furthermore, I'm a movement expression therapist, and a teacher of Kundalini yoga. I enjoy dancing the Tango, being in motion, in nature, in silence, and having long conversations with friends.

Together with my husband and father of our twin daughters of 6 years I live in the most beautiful house of Tivoli, one of the most colorful multi-cultural parts of Eindhoven.
