Welcome!

My name is Simone Nijboer, I’m a coach and artist. In my art, I explore color, freedom, and expression. Through my coaching, I help people discover that same creative energy and bring it into their everyday lives.

My work is all about integrating Being and Doing: staying consciously present in the here and now, while also taking concrete steps to reach your goals. It’s a combination of spirituality and practical action — fully living in the moment, while making things happen.

On this website, you’ll find my art and coaching offerings:

The Dreamer Who Does – my book and coaching course, created to help you finally turn your dreams into action.

The Joy of Collage Making – an art course that shows you simple, playful ways to bring your creativity to life.

The Art of Now – a course that encourages you to forget about time, let go of perfectionism, and just paint freely from the heart.

The Community – where all my articles and courses come together in one inspiring space. It lives on Substack, and you’re welcome to join as a free or paid member. Start with a one-week free trial to explore everything, and then decide if you’d like to continue — no pressure, just a chance to see what resonates with you.

Explore, get inspired, and discover how to shape your own creative life — both in art and in living!

My journey as coach and artist

I’m Simone Nijboer, a coach and artist. For more than two decades, I’ve been guiding people to discover their creative energy, helping them turn ideas and dreams into meaningful action. Through my coaching, including my book The Dreamer Who Does and my online courses, I support people in exploring their goals, finding clarity, and taking practical steps toward the life they want to live.

At the same time, my own creative practice has been central to my life. Making art has taught me how presence, playfulness, and curiosity enrich every aspect of life — lessons I bring into my coaching work.

For me, coaching and art are two sides of the same coin: both invite joy, creativity, and a sense of what's possible.

Whether guiding others in realizing their dreams or exploring the possibilities of paint and paper, for me, it’s all about inspiration, being here now, and taking action.
