I am Elmire van Tongeren — a visionary, brand alchemist,
and founder of Her Network: The Garden.
After decades in advertising, branding, and life sciences, I realized that the most powerful brands aren’t built, they’re remembered. They emerge naturally when we return to truth.
Today, my work blends strategic clarity with energetic consciousness. I help mission-driven founders see the unseen, find alignment in the unseen spaces, and allow creation to move through them.
What is Her Network about
Empowerment
Strengthening individuals and businesses to reach their full potential
Diversity & Inclusion
A safe, open and respectful space for all
Collaboration
Meaningful partnerships that spark innovation
Integrity
Transparent, honest and always purpose-driven
What I bring to the table
Unapologetically myselfAuthentic, energetic and driven by a bold vision
Proactive self-starterI don’t wait for opportunities; I create them
Strategic meets

Natural connector & inspirerLinking people, ideas, and energy together
Highly intuitive & people-centricSeeing what’s needed before it’s spoken
Down-to-earth, adaptable & inventiveFinding solutions, not excuses
Leadership through empowermentCoaching, guiding, and elevating teams
Mission
To guide mission-driven founders back to their essence. Helping them remember that their business, their brand, and their impact all begin within.
Through presence, creativity, and energetic mastery, I hold space for leaders to heal what’s blocking their flow, expand into trust, and let their unique frequency shape everything they create.
Vision
To awaken a new generation of founders who create from flow, lead from love, and transform the world by simply being in alignment with who they truly are.
The Essence
Her Network is a living, breathing ecosystem, a sacred garden where mission-driven founders come home to themselves.
It’s a sanctuary for leaders who are done chasing and are ready to allow.
Who know that creation doesn’t come from force, but from flow.
Who are learning to lead from alignment, trust, and deep internal truth.
Her Network is where strategy meets soul, where the art of creation becomes an act of surrender.
It’s where founders remember that they are not separate from their vision, they are the vessel through which it is expressed.
Through intuitive insight, creative guidance, and energetic alignment, I help founders reconnect to their essence, awaken their creative power, and build with intention from the inside out.
