COME CLOSER.

aka: who’s this story doula anyway?

The short version

Hi, I’m Corrinke.
Story doula. Pitch whisperer. Narrative shapeshifter.
I help people tell the story that’s been waiting underneath the polished version - the one that lands because it’s true.

I’ve worked with startup founders, CEOs, TEDx speakers, prison poets, and modern-day rebels.


My background is in venture building and corporate innovation. My passion is in voice, vulnerability, and the spark that makes you unforgettable.

I spent years helping startups scale, coaching teams through high-stakes pitches, and building innovation programs across Europe.
I knew how to help people sound impressive. But I kept feeling something was missing.

It wasn’t just about what people were saying.
It was who they were being when they said it.

That’s where the real power lived.

So I started listening more closely - for the cracks, the raw edges, the hidden gold.
The moment when someone stopped performing and started telling the story that actually mattered.

Now I work with people who want to show up fully. Who are done sounding like a LinkedIn post in heels.
People who are ready to lead with resonance, not just reason.

People who know their voice is part of their magic.

The longer version:

Wait, you’re a story doula?


Think of me as your story's favorite hype woman / midwife / secret-keeper.

I’m not here to craft your narrative.
I’m here to coax out the one that’s already kicking inside you - the one that’s been hiding behind all the clever bios and smart-sounding sentences.

You’ve got the gold. Already. written in your bones.
I just hold the space, ask the weird questions, and cheer you on as your real story finally comes out.

Screaming, soft, or sparkly - however it damn well pleases.

What I believe in

  • Your story doesn’t need to be big to be powerful. It just needs to be true.

  • The best storytelling feels alive - like breath, like ache, like timing.

  • You can be strategic and soulful.

  • We don’t need more content. We need more connection.

Street cred

  • Trained 300+ founders and teams across accelerators, VC firms, and corporates

  • Coached speakers for demo days, TEDx, investor pitches, and global conferences

  • Worked with organizations like World Food Program, EMAAR, VISA, Impact HUB.

  • Built community through storytelling nights, intimacy workshops, and poetic experiments

Beyond the work


I live by the ocean in Portugal.
I’m most myself when I’m on stage, in deep conversation, lifting heavy weights or roaming through forest and empty beaches with my dog.

I believe in ink-stained love letters, emotionally intelligent party tricks, and stories that make your chest feel electric.

If you’re here, maybe your story is knocking.
I’d love to midwife it into the world with you.
