About Me
Life has held many gloriously happy moments that I treasure for having experienced them.
My journey has also had many challenges and trauma beginning in early childhood to dealing with the death of my precious children, to leaving the country, coming back and having to restart a life back and then dissolving a caustic marriage after many years.
Self-determination has been the guiding principle for me as I have navigated stormy unchartered waters of love hardship and inconceivable loss. I can put my finger on the many times in life where both resilience and self- agency has both supported and challenged me, and I can say without exception it was and still is the result of focus, commitment, and will, framed by mindfulness and reflection.
There is always a gift we can receive in trauma and hardship all we need to do is to be curious and we will find it.
My purpose is to be your partner who will ‘’show up in a strategic, collaborative and creative space to help you the most right now in moving forward.
My Experience
I enjoyed fifteen years managing, mentoring and training people nationally within a corporate environment which gave me the opportunity to witness the positive effect of coaching and how so many coachee’s flourished and grew personally and professionally. This was immensely rewarding and the start of my seven – year career in life coaching and wellness counselling.
I have a post graduate degree in psychology, and professional coaching training and bereavement training. I am also a SETA accredited trainer and assessor including numerous short courses for enrichment purpose.
To know more about others, we must first know ourselves.
