Magdalena Reynaerts

I am a developmental and leadership coach, facilitator, fitness trainer, wellness specialist, and scientist with an extensive multi-cultural experience in personal and professional development.

I help my clients see their inner wisdom and excellence, so that they can be unapologetically themselves and thrive in their personal and professional life.

I believe coaching can change personal and professional life. Clients often share how becoming more self-aware and listening better has made them better leaders, partners, parents. This process has strengthened their relationships and helped them open up to difficult conversations.

I see business success as being driven by leaders who are self-aware, compassionate, and dedicated to continuous growth and development. It’s about unlearning managing and relearning being human. I believe that meeting and understanding ourselves is facing our true humanity.

My unique approach to coaching combines expertise in coaching, science, leadership and physical strength, it is practical and explorative, allowing clients to build self-awareness in both cognitive and somatic areas. My coaching style is warm and inviting, allowing for a courageous and safe space to build trust and a unique coaching relationship. This approach helps clients notice their own patterns and supports them in building new behaviours that lead to improved performance and wellbeing.

My career spans numerous industry sectors, reflecting versatility and purpose-driven leadership. I have lived and worked across Europe and Asia, and that experience has enriched my perspective, fostering a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and human connection.

I graduated from Warsaw University of Technology with a Master’s degree in Environmental Biotechnology and continued my scientific career with a Professional Doctorate in Engineering at Delft University of Technology with combined research at Sanquin (Dutch blood bank). In 2016 my family and I moved to Singapore where I transitioned my career to the sport and fitness industry, working with clients on their unique wellness journeys.

My global experiences, combined with my academic and professional background, equipped me with a unique ability to bridge diverse worlds. My career has spanned over scientific research, complex projects and working with teams across industries. I have also had the privilege of guiding individuals on their personal journeys, from fitness and yoga to cognitive performance. This interconnectedness laid the foundation for my purpose-driven leadership style. My approach is guided by wholehearted authenticity, inclusion, curiosity, compassion, courage and a deep sense of purpose.

In my private life, I am a mother to a teenage daughter, a wife to my beloved husband, and a pet-mom to our senior dog. I consistently engage in various intense sports and grounding practices like Lojong meditation, pranayama, and yoga. This approach helps me hold this space with unwavering focus and fresh perspectives, and it keeps me energised, centred, and allows me to bring a renewed perspective to clients’ coaching journey. 

Currently based in Singapore, I coach leaders who believe there are better ways to create an aligned life: one where career ambitions don’t come at the expense of their personal well-being.

Having been trained by the industry leaders in individual and relationship systems coaching, my approach emphasises the development of inclusive, authentic leadership, fostering mindful presence and resilient relationships. I help clients connect their personal strengths and unique qualities to their leadership style to achieve personal and professional goals, to lead sustainable teams.
