The guide to the Ocean inside you
Inner compass is a company with a holistic focused approach to life, self-improvement, self-empowerment, and personal growth.
Inner Compass is a platform made by women to women.
Inner Compass is project-based, where each project goes deeper into a certain niche. Even though Inner Compass has a sole Owner, different people can become partners in different projects.
Nathalia van der Veer
Founder and CEO of Inner Compass
The story I want to tell you today is the story of me as a founder.
As a good Pisces, I was early on interested in the mysteries surrounding us, and I was always searching for ways to help others. As I grew up, my Taurus rising required some structure, and that’s how I ended up doing a BA in Physical Therapy.
While in University, I was able to see from the inside The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly from the Health Industry. During University, it was expected of the students to dedicate 100% to learning how to take care of others, even if that meant sleepless nights combined with throwing the mental and emotional health down the drain. I couldn’t agree with this concept any less.
After University, I still had a deep desire to help, but I couldn’t see myself fitting in (or fixing) that broken model. Eventually, I became a holistic therapist, whenI learned that not only could I take care of myself first but that this was essential if I wanted to help.
So I worked on myself, and I keep on doing this every day. Self-improvement became a lifestyle.

BUSINESSES ARE BORN FROM THE DREAMS OF THE FOUNDERS.
Most businesses start because something was deeply bothering their founder.
Too much for one person
THE SEARCH FOR A GURU
Many times in my childhood, I asked God for a Guru to give me guidance towards my spiritual path. Thankfully the Guru never came. While my thirst for knowledge and growth only grew, leading me into studying a lot.
ABUNDANCE OF IDEAS
Inner Compass, being niche-project-based, came from another “pain of mine”: having an abundance of ideas. I want to see them come to life, but it seems impossible to do all of them by myself since time is a somewhat limited resource.
