A bit about me
I had a stellar career, a partner, two dogs, and a cozy life in Europe. On the inside I often felt crippling anxiety, exhausted, and unsure of who I really was beyond my “work self”. I was challenged by questioning if I was being honest about what I really wanted, while being on some sort of auto-pilot mode, by just pushing through. Was I living a life that was authentically mine, or was this based on what I thought was expected of me?
For years, I pushed forward by studying hard and obtaining an Engineering degree, excelling in my career, and moving abroad from South Africa. This made me look accomplished, however, I longed for something deeper. I wanted to make an impact in people’s lives through building trust, deep connection and supporting them through their process.
I’m still learning how to soften my own perfectionism, trust others, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with what genuinely gives me energy and joy. I also needed to learn how to sit with uncomfortable emotions and learn how to sit with feelings of grief, depression and shame. What was toughest for me, was accepting that I need more rest and to focus on fewer things than I thought I was capable to focus on at a time.
Coaching and therapy were life-changing in that process, and today I offer the same support to others. I work with people who may appear strong and successful on the outside but quietly feel stuck, disconnected, or restless inside.
What my clients value most about working with me is the empathetic, non-judgmental space I create. They often tell me that they feel safe to explore even the most personal or challenging topics, and that this safety allows them to reflect deeply, gain clarity, and make meaningful progress. I focus on truly listening and understanding each person’s story, helping them uncover patterns, values, and emotions that might have been overlooked.
I’m completing my diploma in Coaching & Counselling from the Academie voor Coaching & Counselling in January 2026 and have been coaching since June 2025. I’ll be continuing further education in 2026. My approach is not about fixing, but to walk alongside you, offering you profound questioning and structured tools based on your unique situation, while honoring your pace, so you feel supported, seen, and empowered to take the next step in your journey.
If you’re beginning your healing journey, or simply need support to move forward with clarity, please reach out for an intro call. Working together creates a path for two-way healing and growth. That, to me, is a precious gift of relational healing and growth we can offer each other.
