Gert Mertens
Founder & Transformation Coach
Over the years, Gert walked his own path of inner growth, moving through life transitions, shedding outdated identities, and deepening his connection with his essence. What began as a journey through the world of sales, media strategy, and business transformation, gradually became a path of frequency elevation and soul alignment.
Out of this inner transformation, he founded Meeting The People, a consultancy rooted in presence, clarity, and heart.
Gert’s work is infused with lived experience. He guides leaders and teams not just from theory, but from embodiment. By bridging structure and soul, he helps organizations move through transformation with integrity creating space for aligned choices, conscious leadership, and meaningful growth.
His mission is clear: to awaken the power within individuals and organizations, so they can lead from truth, and contribute to a more elevated, connected world.

Thalia Van Geit
Founder & Transformation Coach
With years of experience as a coach and facilitator in transformation, leadership, and team development, Thalia brings people back to what truly matters: connection: to self, to others and to purpose.
Rooted in systemic wisdom and known for her intuitive presence, she holds space in a way that is both grounding and expansive. Soft, yet clear. Quiet, yet deeply moving.
She doesn’t work at the surface but exactly where truth is ready to be felt and transformation wants to happen.
Her shift into soul-based work didn’t come from strategy, but from alignment, a natural evolution of her own journey.
Through Soulwave, she now invites others to return to their essence, raise their frequency, and make choices that are deeply aligned with who they are becoming.
Her presence touches the unseen. Her questions awaken clarity.
Her guidance activates remembrance.
Because when you rise in your own frequency, you lead others to do the same
