About us
Your Journey Academy
“The name Your Journey Academy was chosen because life, and all the choices that come with it, are one big journey.”
– Joyce van Ombergen-Jong
History of Your Journey
The idea for the Your Journey platform originated from the internship mediation agency JongLeren.es, of which Joyce is a co-owner. Because Joyce notices on a daily basis that young people experience stress around choices related to study, work, and gap years, she decided to create this platform.

What does Your Journey Academy do?
In this online academy, Joyce offers guidance based on her life experience and many years of experience as a coach. In addition, Your Journey provides inspiration and tips through blogs, podcasts, book recommendations, and practical tips and tools.
Your Journey offers life coaching in various forms. What makes Your Journey unique is that we are based in the south of Spain, which allows us to offer online coaching as well as in-person coaching in Málaga.
We believe it’s important that young people learn to make their own choices that make them happy and allow them to live on their own terms, while also enabling parents and schools to support them in this process.
‘Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions.
Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts.
And old souls, learn to accept responsibility for their happiness’ – DailyOm
Coach of Your Journey Academy
“I’m Joyce, aka Joy, and since 2008 I’ve been living with my husband Joost and our now grown-up children in the countryside near the amazing city of Málaga in southern Spain. Yes indeed, the place where the sun shines more than 300 days a year!”
Working with young people
For several years now, Joyce has been focusing mainly on younger people. She guides students through the choices they face in their lives. She has noticed that more and more young people struggle with making decisions about their studies and careers.
When you’re young, you often don’t yet know who you are, what you’re good at, or what truly makes you happy. Joyce genuinely enjoys guiding young people through this search. She takes you on a journey toward your own answers through coaching and free online programmes.
“I’m a mother myself and have learned to let go of my children. I bring this experience into my guidance of young people and their parents. In addition, I have completed various training programmes such as NLP coaching, intuitive coaching, breathwork, trauma release, hypnosis, and Time Line Therapy, and I have been working as an online coach for many years.”
