What Zitholele Consulting does

Zin voor Zin is a sole-practitioner personal guidance and spiritual development practice based in the Netherlands and operated by dr. Monique van Dijk-Groeneboer. The firm sells individual counseling, pastoral supervision, and existential/spiritual guidance to students and individuals at life crossroads, alongside a portfolio of themed group workshops (seasonal meditations, labyrinth, intuitive painting, mandala drawing) and a signature 24-hour 'inspiratie-etmaal' held at the Dominican monastery in Huissen. It also delivers supervised intervision, group supervision, and individual coaching to educational and healthcare institutions. The firmographic header in the source data labels the entity 'Zitholele Consulting' (South Africa, environmental/engineering consulting, 11–50 employees, founded 2003), but every substantive data block — including the legal name, location, customer segments, pricing, and ownership commentary — describes Zin voor Zin; this analysis is grounded in the substantive data.

The offering is delivered entirely in-person; no technology platform, app, or digital product is described. Core 'products' are (1) themed workshops priced per participant from €25 (meditation) to €149 (full-day retreat including meals and overnight accommodation), with a €15 single-room supplement and minimum cohorts of 4–6; (2) personalized supervision and biographical work billed by session; and (3) organizational services for education and healthcare buyers priced from €90 per hour, typically delivered Wednesday mornings. Workshops are seasonal (spring, autumn, Christmas) and the overnight retreats occur only a few times per year.

The business model is a classic professional-services micro-practice: workshop fees paid per participant plus hourly fees for individual and organizational engagements. Marketing is conducted through a Dutch-language website (zinvoorzin.com) and personal referrals, with no paid advertising or formal sales motion. The practice is privately held by the founder with no external investors, subsidiaries, parent company, or funding history disclosed. Geographic scope is regional within the Netherlands, and the LVSC-recognized certificate issued on completion of supervision trajectories is the closest thing to a structural credential differentiator.
