Life's Too Short for Someone Else's Dreams
Do you ever feel like you're winning a game you don't even want to play?
Give back to yourself first. Then give back from a place of fullness.
Do you ever feel like you're winning a game you don't even want to play?
The promotions keep coming. The salary increases. The corner office. Everyone thinks you've made it.
But late at night, when it's quiet, you know the truth:
This isn't the life you dreamed about when you were young and still believed anything was possible.
You have a vision, faint, but persistent:
Maybe it's starting your own business
Maybe it's moving somewhere that feeds your soul
Maybe it's building something beautiful with someone you love
Maybe it's finally using the talents you've been suppressing
Maybe it's just... feeling alive again
The problem isn't that you don't know what you want.
The problem is you've spent years convincing yourself it's selfish, unrealistic, or too late.
But what if it's not?
What if the most generous thing you could do, for yourself and everyone who loves you, is to finally give back to yourself first?

My story
I'm Dennis van Heezik. (LinkedIn)
I spent 25 years climbing to C-level positions at Philips, Etex, Siam City Cement, and Caldic. Multi-million euro budgets. Digital & Business transformation leadership. Everything that's supposed to matter.
But I felt numb. Successful but empty. Winning someone else's game.
Then I met Katai in Thailand. She didn't see my titles, she saw me. The person I'd buried under decades of "should" and "realistic."
So at 50, I chose differently: Left the corporate world.
Moved to Thailand permanently. Married Katai.
Together we built Chandee, Bangkok's premier head spa.
Discovered strengths I never knew I had.
Unlocked a passion that had been sleeping for decades.
Not because I was brave. Because staying felt worse than leaving.
Today, Chandee is thriving. Profitable. Beautiful. Proof that following your heart doesn't have to mean sacrificing your financial security.
And through Orange Tiger, I help others do what I did:
Give back to themselves first. Then build lives of fulfillment, not just success.


What is Orange Tiger?
Orange Tiger is where life transformation meets practical guidance.
I'm not here to help you climb the corporate ladder faster.
I'm here to help you build your own ladder,
one that leads somewhere you actually want to go.
The difference?
Most coaches teach this from theory. I teach it from experience.
I've walked this exact path. I know what it costs. I know what it's worth. I know how to do it without destroying your finances, your relationships, or your sanity.
Through executive life coaching, I help you:
Recognize what you actually want (not what you think you should want)
Navigate the practical realities (money, visa, family, fear, all of it)
Unlock strengths you've been suppressing in corporate roles
Build something meaningful that reflects your true passions
Give back to yourself first, then to others from a place of fullness
Orange represents my Dutch roots, the discipline from 25 years in Global and Asian boardrooms. Tiger represents the Thai spirit I found here, the courage to choose wild over safe, and the passion that roars to life when you finally follow your heart.
CHANDEE: The Proof
Actions speak louder than advice.
Beautiful brand & salon
From an idea to a succesful business and brand with 20+ staff, 300+ 5-star reviews, and more than 15,000 customers in 10 months.
One of the best head spa & massage businesses in Bangkok.
Wonderful and caring staff
More than happy 20 ladies that look proudly after their families in a satisfying job, earning them 3+x their normal take-home salaries.
Katai and I created a true-family experience, caring for each other and our customers.
15,000+ happy customers in less than 1 year, generating investment capitals for a second and third branch.
Creating a true sense of fulfillment and purpose for me and Katai every day.
Happy customers & sustaining future




Chandee is what happens when you stop living someone else's version of success and start building your own version of fulfillment.
Bangkok's premier head spa and wellness sanctuary. Built from scratch by my wife Katai and me.
Profitable. Growing. Employing 20+ people. Changing lifes. Bringing joy to customers every single day.
This isn't just a business. It's proof that following your dreams can be:
Beautiful (have you seen our space?)
Profitable (yes, passion pays)
Sustainable (we're expanding, not burning out)
Meaningful (we're building something that matters)
Who This Is For
Orange Tiger is for you if:
You've been successful by every measure that matters to others, but empty by the measure that matters to you
You have a dream you've been afraid to admit out loud
You're tired of postponing life until "someday"
You want to use your talents in ways corporate never allowed
You're ready to give back to yourself first, without guilt
You need someone who's actually done it to show you how
"The dream I was afraid to follow turned out to be the only dream worth following."
