“It's about creating a space where people feel seen and supported, not just during a reading, but in the quiet hum of the studio itself. The organization behind that feeling is just as important as the magic.”

Roos Vink, 33, is the dedicated operations manager at a small, independent wellness studio nestled in the heart of Amsterdam. Their journey into this role wasn't a direct path; after completing a vocational degree in administrative services, Roos spent several years in more corporate environments, feeling increasingly disconnected from work that aligned with their personal values. A profound interest in holistic well-being, sparked by personal experiences and a growing community of like-minded individuals, led them to seek a more meaningful career. Three years ago, they joined forces with two other practitioners to establish their current studio, taking on the crucial role of orchestrating its day-to-day operations. Roos thrives on bringing order to the creative chaos of a wellness practice, meticulously managing client notes, booking inquiries, and the thematic threads of tarot readings, all within the flexible yet demanding framework of Airtable and a series of interconnected spreadsheets. They are deeply committed to the studio's reputation for authenticity and care, viewing their organizational skills not as mere administrative tasks, but as essential components that enable the practitioners to focus on their clients. Roos's approach to work is characterized by a deep sense of responsibility and a quiet determination to create a seamless, nurturing environment. They are constantly seeking ways to refine their systems, recently exploring more integrated spreadsheet formulas to better track client progress and reading themes, a decision driven by a desire for greater insight and efficiency. Their income of €54k supports a modest but comfortable lifestyle, prioritizing experiences and personal growth over material accumulation. Roos sees their role as more than just a job; it's a contribution to a community they deeply believe in, a space where both clients and practitioners can find grounding and insight.

Background & daily life

A day in their life

Roos's typical weekday begins around 7:30 AM with a quiet cup of tea and a brief meditation. By 9:00 AM, they're at the studio, checking emails, updating Airtable with new client bookings from the previous evening, and reviewing the day's schedule for the practitioners. Mid-morning might involve responding to booking inquiries, ordering supplies, or troubleshooting a minor scheduling conflict. Lunch is usually a simple, home-prepared meal eaten at their desk while reviewing client notes for upcoming readings. The afternoon often includes a team check-in, planning for the next moon circle event, or updating the studio's spreadsheet for tracking reading themes. They aim to wrap up by 6:00 PM, often taking a walk before heading home to prepare dinner with their partner.

Lifestyle

Roos leads a balanced, mindful lifestyle in Amsterdam. They prioritize slow mornings, often starting with herbal tea and a short meditation before diving into work. Weekends are for recharging, exploring local markets, tending to their balcony herb garden, and spending quality time with their partner and friends. Financial habits are prudent; they value experiences and personal growth over excessive spending, carefully budgeting for necessities and occasional splurges on workshops or travel. Socially, Roos enjoys intimate gatherings and deep conversations, preferring quality over quantity in friendships.

Impulsive decisions are rare; they prefer a structured, analytical approach to ensure alignment with their values and organizational goals.

How they sound

Avoids overly casual slang or jargon, preferring precise, empathetic communication. When discussing the studio, there's a warmth and pride in their tone.
