I became a coach as I love helping clients access the magic within themselves. I love adventure and new experiences and I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude when I see my clients accessing their inner strength.
I believe that learning and growing are key features of what it means to live an authentic and rewarding life. Supporting my clients find their way is my greatest pleasure. I’d love to walk through life’s crazy beautiful journey with you.
My life has been filled with more twists and turns than I ever could have anticipated and this is what inspires my coaching. I believe that life doesn’t need to be so difficult or serious and that even in our darkest times, humour and lightness of being can be just what the soul needs to shine.
I chose Ontological Coaching as it is a holistic and deep method of coaching to the Way of Being which is at the heart of what it means to be human. When we are shown ways to observe our Way of Being, we are able to shift in ways that will better serve us and give us the freedom we desire.
Having a meaningful life has been strongly influenced by the causes I support and the sense of community and connection these causes bring me. I believe that part of being human is caring and being compassionate towards others and continuing to look beyond ourselves for ways to be of service to others.
My story would not be complete without mentioning that I have lost two daughters to cancer, Jess (who passed away in 2008) and Georgie (who passed away in 2019). After Jess passed away in 2008, together with a group of friends, my husband, Grant and I formed The Cows which fundraises for CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation of South Africa). The motto of The Cows is ‘Love Living Life’ which has inspired me and many others to keep making a difference to the lives of children with cancer and their families.
More recently I have been working with Born in Africa in my role as a coach to provide support to the mentors and children and enable them to tap into their unique potential through their Way of Being. Born in Africa is a non-profit organisation, active in socio-economically disadvantaged areas around Plettenberg Bay, they provide education and guidance to children so that they can build towards a better future.
