The realization to rise stronger with each setback, combined with extensive travel and diverse experiences as an EFL teacher, has given me deep insights into the human condition. As a compassionate transformational facilitator with a background in public relations, teaching, and energy work, I use my personal journey and professional qualifications to support and guide others in overcoming their own obstacles and unleashing their potential.

Personal Journey and Realization

I have not had an easy life by any means. I come from humble and difficult beginnings. Life has always been challenging for me. Dysfunctional youth, depression, addiction, physical ailments, abuse, countless surgeries, financial woes, you name it.

However, I have strived to overcome these and with each fall or setback I’ve risen again stronger and stronger. My world started to change when I realized that life happens for me and not to me. This led to my fundamental realization that the power to change myself and my life was within me.

Transformation and Support

As a result of my personal journey, everything I have learned, experienced, understood, surrendered to, accepted, and moved through has brought me to a place where I can be a source of support and a guiding light in the lives of others. Coming from a public relations and EFL (English Foreign Language) teaching background, I am your veritable “people’s person”.

What I Bring to the Healing Container

Born in Durban, I’m a South African by birth. I have travelled a fair bit throughout the world over a span of twenty-four years (25 countries as of 2024) and lived, on my own, usually rescuing a cat or two in the process, in more than seven non-English speaking countries mainly as a migrant EFL teacher, moving countries to where the next job was. This began as a desperate need to have a job that paid the rent. It turned into a journey of self-healing and a steep learning curve into the accumulation of wisdom and knowledge about life. And no bank balance.

These experiences have given me deeper insights into people, their communities, and in general the human condition where similarities prevail despite different cultures, religions, social conditioning, and geographical location. In fact, it led to me learning a lot about myself, my worldview, and how to view other cultures/societies more objectively and compassionately. At times, culture shock was intense and difficult to assimilate. Challenging times have always been when my learning was the greatest. So, basically, the more challenges that we come across, the more we learn. That is why I say life happens for you.

Getting the Work Done

Despite the positive outcomes, we do, however, often have residual emotions and belief systems lodged in our bodies which can be inhibiting and even debilitating. We may or may not be aware of them. Either way, through the work we do together we can release these, thereby unleashing your potential.

Together with my degree from the School of Hard Knocks, my own self-healing journey, my energy and emotional work, as well as being a highly intuitive/sensitive person along with my coaching background and relevant qualifications*, I can hold space for you with compassion and deep understanding. I will also be your greatest cheerleader if called to do so.

Integrated Approach

As an energy practitioner, I have integrated all of my qualifications, life skills and experiences to become a compassionate transformational facilitator. I can meet you where you are in life.
