About Me

​​

I was born in eNtlaza in the rural Eastern Cape, South Africa, where the land raises you as much as your parents do. My childhood was shaped by Mpondo culture, community, and the quiet rhythms of rural life. I was a sensitive child — deeply connected to nature, easily overwhelmed, and always listening for what lived beneath the surface.

​​

Today, I am a coach, storyteller, and transformative space‑holder. My work is rooted in presence and truth, shaped by a lifelong inquiry into identity, belonging, and becoming. I create spacious, honest environments where people can meet themselves with clarity and compassion.

​

My path weaves together an M.Sc. in Medical Science, Journey Practitioner and Life Coach training, spiritual practice, and sixteen years in public service. These threads allow me to bring both rigor and intuition.

​

What Shapes My Work

My coaching is lived, not theoretical. 

I have walked through wrongful accusations, profound grief, the loss of my husband through the barrel of the gun and daughter by suicide, financial collapse, and the long road back to myself. I have also walked through love, community, faith, and the quiet miracles that come when you refuse to give up on your own becoming.

​

These experiences shape the way I hold space — with tenderness, emotional attunement, respect for the body’s intelligence, and trust in the unfolding of a soul.

​

My presence and craft has been refined through Traversing Liminality and through walking alongside women navigating grief, transition, burnout, reinvention, and the quiet ache of feeling stuck. Their journeys have shaped me as much as my own.

​

I also give back to life. I support children in under‑resourced schools, my village's old age association, coach young women through Traversing Liminality (NPO), and serve as Deputy Chairperson of the Nessie Knight Hospital governing body.

​

My memoir, “Who Does She Think She Is?”, reflects my journey through profound loss and my return to truth and self.

​

How I Work

My work is grounded in embodied awareness, ancestral wisdom, scientific understanding, and a spiritual rhythm of prayer, silence, walking, breath, and journaling.

​​

In practice, this looks like:

• listening for what is said and unsaid 

• paying attention to the body’s openings, contractions, and wisdom 

• honouring your rhythm, not the world’s urgency 

• asking questions that help you hear yourself clearly 

• holding space with tenderness, honesty, and emotional attunement 

​​

The Land That Holds Me

I now live and work from my late parents’ home in Sulenkama, Qumbu, Eastern Cape, South Africa. This return has been grounding and sacred. The hills, the valleys, the streams and rivers, the wind, the soil, and the silence have become part of my healing and part of my work.

​​

This land holds my story, my grief, and the presence of those I have loved and lost.

​​

Why I Do This Work

Because I know what it is to lose everything and still find yourself. 

Because I believe in the quiet power of a human being returning to themselves. 

Because I have witnessed transformation that words cannot hold. 

Because liminal spaces — the trembling, shedding, remembering, rising, are sacred.

 

My coaching is an invitation:

to return to yourself, 

to honour your truth, 

and to live with greater freedom, spaciousness, and integrity.

​

Access Matters

I know what it is to need support and not be able to afford it. 

My prices honour both the work, and the realities people live in. 

This work should not be a luxury. 

Clarity should not be reserved for the privileged.
