About Me
My life:
Born in Cradock in 1958 and growing up in the Klein Karoo town of Oudtshoorn, South Africa, I had the privilege of experiencing everything a small town could offer a child. I would go playing in the surrounding rivers and dams, visited my grandparents on their nearby farm, rode with my bicycle to sports activities, swimming in the town communal pool with all the rest of the town kids, and being in a very much loved and safe home…….until disaster strikes, which was not imaginable in my environment.
I was not at all prepared for what happened or realizing how the disaster which was striking time after time influenced me. That is a story for another time which I will share in time on my blog, but my struggle over long time emotionally and sometimes practically made me realize there must be another way.
I knew that peace is possible, but how?
And the search began which eventually after taking several turns in my life, led me to Mindfulness. I landed right where I belonged. I started training again in different mindfulness schools, obtaining various levels up to master’s level in the one course.
I am a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Intervention coach with the two-years post-graduate Certificate in Mindfulness Based Stress Intervention (MBSI) at the Medical Faculty of Stellenbosch University offered by IMISA.
I completed the course Mindfulness in Education with a world known Mindfulness researcher.
I nearly completed my Mindfulness in Trauma course.
Attending workshops and virtual conferences on the topics like Mindfulness and Trauma, Mindfulness in Business, Mindfulness in Grief, Mindfulness in eating and transformational breathing in Mindfulness.
Within my own business, I coach clients, corporates, groups, online, and person in Mindfulness. Do not miss reading their testimonials on this website.
I experienced many aspects of life and believe I packed in as much experience as I could. I met many people and saw many situations which look hopeless, and was always on the lookout for information on how to help in the most effective way.
My clients influence others just by being on the journey where they really belong, experiencing life in detail, without judgement in every moment with full awareness.
I love to see that my clients take their experience in my courses into their own journey & their own way while I am walking beside them. To watch the shift in each and every one of my clients is a dream come true after years of being in a role of helper.
I realized that I can only share valuable help from a place of self-fulfilment
You cannot share what you do not have.
I am forever on this journey which I share as a coach – the opening up of the real me in a world full of possibilities.
If you are committed to live the ultimate fulfilled life you can, you are welcome, I invite you to join this journey as soon as possible with me.

The amazing part of Mindfulness is that the journey of each individual is different, but in a sense in the same direction,
which is opening up towards new possibilities.
Each mindfulness coach shares who they are and where they are in their own journey and therefor you cannot assume that once you had a coach all Mindfulness coaches do the exactly the courses and coaching on the same baseline truthful template.
