Isabelle’s story

The Struggle with Anorexia
At the age of sixteen, Isabelle Feteris was insecure about her appearance. She decided to lose weight, but what started as an attempt to change her body developed into a serious eating disorder. Her anorexia eventually brought her to the brink of death.
The Turning Point: Becoming an Elite Athlete
Isabelle fought her way back by shifting her focus from appearance to strength. She started bench pressing at the gym and quickly discovered that she had exceptional physical strength. What began as a way to become stronger soon grew into a new passion.
Elite Sport and Mindset
With tremendous discipline and determination, Isabelle developed the mindset of an elite athlete. She learned to push her limits, overcome setbacks, and believe in herself. Eventually, she became one of the strongest women in the world.
Her Work Today
Today, Isabelle uses her experiences to help others. As a psychologist, speaker, and coach, she helps people overcome procrastination, develop a strong mindset, and achieve their goals.

From survival to strength — Isabelle’s story shows how far you can fall, but also how powerful it can be to rebuild yourself.

Her Keynote

Which strategies should you apply to achieve your goals — and which ones should you avoid?
With her concrete tips, practical tools, no-nonsense approach, and thought-provoking questions, Isabelle helps her audience take action. Who do you need to become to achieve success? How can focusing on calm and balance actually help you achieve what you want? As a former elite athlete, she treats you like one too — and gets you to start training your mind. She teaches you about mindset, but also gets you into action immediately.
Speaker and author Isabelle Feteris studied Psychology at Leiden University. During her studies, she competed at an elite level in powerlifting and became one of the strongest women in the world. At the same time, she was already working as a mindset coach.
Isabelle hasn’t always had an unshakable mindset. In the past, she struggled with a severe eating disorder that brought her to the brink of death. She has also dealt with procrastination and self-sabotage. Alongside her successes, she has experienced many setbacks throughout her life. She has managed to turn these experiences around and has since developed an exceptionally strong mentality and mindset.

She subsequently developed her own method to help others do the same.

Dealing with setbacks, change, and resilience can be challenging. Falling back into old patterns and choosing the comfort zone is often the easiest option. How can you prevent this, and how do you deal with it when it happens?

In her presentations, Isabelle draws on her own story, principles from elite sports, and psychological insights to show in an inspiring way how to stop procrastinating and take consistent action. She helps audiences step outside their comfort zones. Many speakers talk about inspiration, motivation, information, and discipline, but none of these guarantee results. Ultimately, you have to take action yourself.

“Information without action leads to frustration.”
On her own podcast, Isabelle interviews elite athletes, former elite athletes, and people with a top-performance mentality. She has also written a book about the subject: Stop Procrastinating: How to Take Action with an Elite Athlete’s Mindset. In this practical action-oriented book, she shares the mental strategies of elite athletes, former athletes, and mindset experts.

Isabelle shows that it is possible to perform at your highest level and achieve exceptional results without sacrificing other areas of your life. She gives keynote presentations, workshops, and seminars.

She also provides personal coaching for leaders.
