WHY

I believe the world becomes a better place when each of us has the opportunity to discover and develop our full potential. That way, we can use our talents to create a positive and lasting impact in the world.

Through In Your Natural Flow, I support creative, versatile entrepreneurs and professionals who like to do things a little differently.

When you do what you’re good at, what energizes you, and what truly matters to you, it’s contagious. It connects, inspires, and contributes to meaningful impact — for yourself and those around you.

I help you break out of the boxes that no longer fit you, so you can fully and sustainably express your multifaceted potential — in your work and beyond.

Because I believe that what you bring to the table truly matters.  That you are allowed to color outside the lines. And that by doing so, you make this world a richer, more vibrant place.

    Change maker

    As a child, Sarah sent all her pocket money to children in Africa. She was determined to dedicate herself to creating opportunities, both in her work in education and through various volunteer projects at home and abroad. She still enjoys being involved in social projects.

    She is an ambassador for the Thai Child Development Foundation, where she volunteered in 2009. Next to that, in 2025 she did a 5 km sponsor run in Pai, Thailand for Shekina Community to raise money to improve health care facilities for the local community.

    Born to be a teacher

    As a child, she would play "school" after school hours. In friends’ autograph books, it always said she wanted to become a teacher. But for a long time, that dream faded until, in 2009, she stood in front of a class for the first time through the TCDF foundation in Thailand. That was when she knew: training and coaching people in their growth is what I’m here to do.

    She worked for over 10 years in (higher) education, and since 2019 she uses her extensive experience as a teacher, trainer, course developer and coach to help fellow multipassionates embrace their versatility and create a meaningful impact.

    Big dreamer

    As a child, Sarah was already full of big dreams. She dreamed of traveling and living on a tropical island, as well as becoming an artist. She also wanted to improve the world by helping people who are less fortunate. She has always thought outside the box and comes up with ideas all day long. A session with Sarah means a you get to pick her creatieve brain.

    A predictable life on a conventional path was not for her. Since she was 17, she has taken multiple long-distance trips and has lived in The Gambia, South Africa, and Thailand. During her travels, she enjoys collecting stories about how local people live, drawing immense inspiration from them.

 

Nice to meet you!

My name is Sarah Vermazen, and I’m the founder of In Your Natural Flow.

Before I fully embraced my multipassionate nature, I often felt like I didn’t quite belong anywhere.
I had broad interests, wanted everything, and enjoyed so many different things — but that made choosing nearly impossible. A “jack of all trades, master of none”… that’s how I often felt. I doubted myself and struggled with the belief that I wasn’t truly good at anything.

The turning point came when I started to recognize the red thread connecting my different talents and interests.
My values became my compass — instead of being guided by the expectations of others or the critical voice in my head. I also developed a kinder, stronger relationship with myself and discovered:

my versatility isn’t a flaw — it’s my strength.

I found work that allowed me to use my broad range of interests and talents, and I gave myself permission to keep learning and exploring new things.

At the time, I was working in higher education as a lecturer, trainer, coach, and curriculum developer in fields such as psychology, sociology, research, and communication. Alongside that, I provided freelance training in communication and theatre.

I worked in and from different parts of the world — including Gambia, South Africa, and Thailand — and I never hesitated to change roles or directions when something no longer felt aligned.

It was the combination and variety of all these roles and environments that made me thrive — I felt completely in my element. It gave me a sense of freedom, spaciousness, and clarity — and opened up a world of possibility.

Over time, I realized I wasn’t the only one

I saw how the most creative, ambitious, and sensitive entrepreneurs and professionals were also struggling. Not because they didn’t know what they wanted, but because they saw, felt, and could do so much. And found few examples of how all those parts of themselves could exist together.

That’s why I founded In Your Natural Flow in 2019.

To guide multipassionates in creating a way of living and working that truly fits.
With over 12 years of experience, I support creative, entrepreneurial people who are willing to look deeper — and who are ready to shape their ideas, desires, and talents into something real. Not based on a standard model from the outside, but from their own rhythm, values, and unique energy.

Are you ready to shape your way of living and working — on your own terms?

    • Matching candidates with roles aligned with their talents and needs

  • I challenge you in a practical and playful way to step outside your comfort zone, think creatively, and embrace making mistakes as part of your growth process.

    I leverage my theoretical and practical background in human behavior to help you break free from rigid thinking patterns and automatic behaviors. My own life experiences, in which I regularly step outside my comfort zone, also inform my understanding of what this can yield for you.

    My guidance is serious when necessary, but overall it is practical, light, and playful. I believe that taking yourself and life a little less seriously brings a lot of relief. This creates space to enjoy, make mistakes, and try new things.

    Clients experience my guidance as versatile, empathetic, playful, and holistic, as I connect the mind, body, and heart. I effortlessly alternate scientific theory with active, creative, and practicaltasks, and I combine this with body-oriented work when needed.

  • People come to me because they feel there’s more within them than they’re currently expressing — and because they’re ready to finally channel their versatility with clarity and intention.

    They no longer want to doubt their direction, shrink themselves to fit what’s expected, or stay stuck in ideas without action.

    They’re curious, sensitive, creative, and driven — but they’re looking for clarity, structure, and a way to shape all those qualities into something that truly fits.

    I help you uncover what you really want, what’s holding you back, and how to create a way of living and working that aligns with your values, energy, and ambitions. That way, you can stop being led by the critical voice in your head or expectations from others.

    Using behavioral psychology, practical tools, and guided reflection, you’ll gain insight, confidence, and forward momentum. I’ll challenge you to make bold, aligned choices — and support you in sustaining them over time.

    I work with multipassionate entrepreneurs and professionals who aren’t looking for one-size-fits-all solutions, but for a path that makes sense from the inside out.

  • The World as a Learning Experience

    At the age of 19, I went to Africa for the first time and lived and worked in Gambia for six months. This period brought me valuable life lessons and taught me a lot about perspective. After completing my studies in tourism, I lived and worked for six months in Thailand. This country immediately felt like my second home. It was here that I stood in front of a class for the first time and felt: this is my calling!

    In the Classroom

    Back in the Netherlands, after working a year as a recruiter in the healthcare sector, I decided to continue my career in education. With little experience, I secured my first teaching position. Despite this leap into the deep end, I felt like a fish in water.

    In addition to teaching, I pursued a degree in Theater Education and completed a Master's in Sociology. With great passion and enthusiasm, I was able to express my versatility in various roles within higher education. From teacher, trainer, and coach to (online) educational developer and coordinator. Meanwhile, I took various courses in psychology, coaching, improvisational theater, and Thai massage.

    A New Adventure

    In 2019, the adventure beckoned once again. I resigned from my permanent position at the university and decided to establish In Your Natural Flow. A creative incubator where I combined my talents. By that time, I was already living and working from South Africa and Thailand.

    Living and working abroad for extended periods, as well as traveling extensively, has greatly enriched my perspective on myself and life. I still love to travel and immerse myself in a completely different culture and nature abroad for extended periods.

    Setbacks as a Gift

    In 2013, a chronic knee injury brought me to a standstill literally overnight. For almost a year, I struggled to walk properly. I realized that in all my passionate enthusiasm, I had also been quite hard on myself. This led me to understand that it is just as important to pursue your passions in a sustainable and loving way.

    Since then, I have, against doctors' expectations, climbed mountains multiple times. Each summit I reach fills me with immense gratitude and the realization that (self)love is the most important foundation.

    A journey that continues

    In 2024, life forced me to pause once again. After years of struggling with unexplained symptoms and not being taken seriously, I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis. But a diagnosis is only the beginning — not the end of the journey.

    It took patience, trust, and the courage to reshape my (working) life even more on my terms and to focus on what is possible. My broad interests and my ability to keep finding creative solutions kept me going.

    It reminded me — once again — how right it was to follow that inner knowing back in 2019, when I felt it was time to do things even more my way.
    And that journey of discovery is far from over.

    Continuously tuning in with yourself and what you need right now is a key part of my own path — and an essential part of how I guide others, too.

Are you ready to embark on your multipassionate journey

Instead of continuing to hope for the day when your ideals will come true on their own, I would rather teach you how to take control of your own destiny. With the right tools, you too can steer the ship of your life. Just imagine how free, happy, and loving you would feel if you fully embraced yourself and danced with life!

Both my clients and I have experienced firsthand how much more valuable life becomes in this way. You can surf on your own flow, instead of swimming against your natural instincts. A whole world opened up for me— and continues to do so.

Are you coming along?

Here's how I can help
 

A glimpse of my other passions

  • I never thought I could become so addicted to a combat sport. But Muay Thai boxing has stolen my heart! It makes me stronger both physically and mentally. Every training session I feel wonderfully challenged, and it allows my mind to truly relax and become fully present in my body.

  • As a child, I wrote all sorts of songs and play the violin. Later, I taught myself to play the ukulele and guitar. I took various singing courses, as well as courses in cabaret and a theater program where singing was a core component. Although I initially found it super nerve-wracking, I now enjoy performing at open mic or karaoke nights. Singing is truly liberating, if you ask me.

  • Almost nothing gives me as much feeling of freedom as a ride on my motorcycle. It all started when I was cruising around on a motorbike during a trip to Thailand, and I decided to get my motorcycle license in the Netherlands afterward. My favorite moment is riding during sunset.

  • As a child, I enjoyed making jewelry, and during a bike ride to Santiago de Compostela, where I settled in La Coruña, I rediscovered that passion completely. I love gemstones and find it a delightful mindful activity to craft new creations. Given the demand, I also started selling them (on request) under the name Handmade By Saar.

  • Playing in the water is something I've loved to do since childhood. When surfing came into the picture, I was immediately hooked. Admittedly, it's not easy. There are days when I wonder if I can still do it. But once I get back into the flow, it’s so much fun!

  • I'm crazy about water sports, and I have fully embraced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It's a sport that engages all your muscles, and you can turn it into an intense workout or just drift peacefully over the water. I try out all sorts of things, and my favorite moment is taking a paddleboard trip during sunset. Later, I also added coaching on a SUP to my services.

You probably recognize that your list of passions is quite long too! :)
