About Me
"Your personality (how you think, act and feel) creates your personal reality" (Dr Joe Dispenza)
This means we need to change our personality in creating a new reality. Sounds a bit whoo-whoo when you first hear it, right?
Well - I grew up with such different beliefs from what I learnt in the past 5 years, that it still blows my mind learning new things daily. Becoming limitless.
We need to take responsibility in creating our life rather than being a victim of our realities. We decide which thoughts we want to fire and wire into our brains - with intention and attention - and if our thoughts are repeated, they become your beliefs. This determine how you act and feel and ultimately the results you get.
Once I started to mentally rehearse my life, I realized how my brain and body could be transformed with neuroscience installing new circuits.
As an expat living overseas for 26 years in 6 different countries, my changing circumstances challenged me to constantly renew my thinking and perspectives, taking opportunities abroad, crafting my own way through the journey and finding my unique identity, voice and purpose as a wife, mother and most of all, a woman. But it very much became the default living of whatever the next move would dictate. I did not realize to what extent I could shape my own future and living.
I grew up in a small town in South Africa and dreamed of living in New York City one day - and here I am, in the heart of Manhattan.
I am a dreamer and finally I have crafted and created the life I wanted. I want to help others figure things out so they too can live their dreams inside their realities, whatever that big dream of yours might be.
I have always been in the 'People Business' - empowering others, inspiring others, bringing them together - be it as a team in my corporate career, as leader in the organizations I served, as an employer in the hospitality industry or simply around a long dinner table with friends and family - my favorite thing to do.
I love witnessing a transformation- either a person or a place - to see something or someone become that which nobody could imagine was possible. The ultimate reward is to be part of a person's journey.
Some of my passions you can find here.
SOMETHING WAS MISSING.
In dealing with the challenges, pain, heartbreaks and other difficulties in life, I neglected that which was most important - my health, myself and my mental well-being. A total breakdown was imminent.
I discovered
Life Coaching
and it changed my Life...
I became unstoppable in wanting to help others after discovering the transformative power of my own journey.
A growth container is the ultimate space where we can explore, heal and grow - where we can identify and disrupt limiting patterns, freeing ourselves from patterns that are holding us back such as shame, lack, and isolation - to name but a few.
After experiencing the profound impact of coaching on my own and others' lives, I became a Certified Life Coach to help others achieve the same irreversible breakthroughs.

My energy, life experience and education truly was a bonus while standing on the shoulders of giants in the coaching industry. I first trained with the incredibly skilled Brooke Castillo from the Life Coach School and furthered my studies at The Institute for Women-Centered Coaching, Training and Leadership under Dr.Claire Zammit, Ph.D.
Dr. Zammit is a global leader and pioneer in women-based coaching and also the Founder of Feminine Power and Evolving Wisdom. Her 25 years of research and experiences was condensed in nucleus format to train coaches to spread the word and change the world. I am incredibly grateful that I got to train and certify after hours and hours of teachings from Dr Claire and the incredible staff at the Institute.
Her programs have reached millions of women worldwide, and her groundbreaking doctoral research on the obstacles preventing intelligent, conscious women from stepping into their greatness has been praised as a seminal contribution to the advancement of women in this century. Her teachings had propelled me into becoming a World Class Coach.
