What Kind of Tuning Fork Am I ?  A 🦌Deer, 🦝Racoon, 🦦Otter or 🦔Hedgehog?

Tuningfork your body, mind and heart.
Recognize systemic pressure so you come
home with something left for yourself.

If you’ve come to this site, you’re likely working in a stress-generating culture. You’re not alone, and you’re not crazy. The problem isn’t you - it’s the system you’ve learned to survive in. It’s hard, but I can help.

You handle the team. The targets.
The emotions no one else wants to touch.

Meanwhile:
18:30: "what's for dinner?" (fantastic question)
20:00: laundry situation is getting personal
22:47: "quick" email (sure)
23:18: tomorrow is already running in your head

So why are you
so damn tired?

Somewhere along the way, survival became leadership. And maybe you’re starting to feel the cost of that.  

HELD was created for women who are tired of functioning without being held themselves.

Join HELD membership

You’re the one people turn to
when things get complicated.

At work

You sense tension before anyone says a word. You manage things before they become a problem (half leader, half emotional air traffic control).


At home

You're running logistics like a small, underfunded startup. Who needs to be where. What needs to be done. What everyone else forgot.



Nobody officially asked you to carry all this.  
And yet…

You're managing three projects, mentoring two juniors, and coordinating cross-team communications. Your bandwidth is at 110%.

And the fun part?
   Most of this isn’t even officially your job.    

You just… picked it up.
Because someone had to.

And that's exactly what breaks my heart.  

Women are paying the price for systems that were never designed with them in mind.

That's why I created HELD.

You’ve become exceptionally good at holding everything together.

HELD | The Membership

But somewhere along the way, holding everything
together started costing you yourself.

Yoga. Breathwork.
Another planner. Another attempt to “manage it better.”

And still: your system stays on alert.

Because exhaustion isn’t always a time-management problem. Sometimes it’s what happens when pressure becomes identity.  

HELD is a private membership for women who are done pretending the work system isn't broken - and brave enough to choose themselves anyway.

Through HEART, you begin rebuilding the inner anchors that pressure slowly pulled apart.  

Tools. Space. Regulation. Resonance.  

Come home with something left for yourself. Finally.

Yes, I need this!

Let me stop doing everything alone.

Inside HELD membership

Three ways to recognize systemic pressure.

Not everyone needs the same kind of support. Some women need a place to land. Some need practical tools they can use today. Some need structure. Some need space to breathe again. Start where your nervous system says: "yes… this."

Membership HELD

A private membership for women leaders who are tired of carrying everything alone and want something steadier beneath them.

Your flightpath - free resources

Small, practical tools for days when your system is already overloaded and your bandwidth is gone before lunch.


HEART ecosystem

HEART is a grounded framework for understanding regulation, recovery, attunement, and sustainable leadership without abandoning yourself in the process.

You show up, hold it together, quietly burn out - and call it normal.

Yeah...been there.

I’m Yolande Waasdorp.
For more than 35 years, across four countries, my work has moved through prisons, boardrooms, recovery spaces, trainings, meditations, and the lives of people carrying more than most others can see.

I know what it means to function inside systems that slowly disconnect you from yourself.  

And I know how quietly that disconnection can become normal.  

My work isn’t about fixing people.  It’s about helping women recognize what was never theirs to carry in the first place.
