My Background

I started my personal development journey at the age of 18.  Being academically strong at school I decided to study dentistry as advised by my teachers and parents.  Very quickly I realised that this was not my passion and so began my journey to discover who I really was.

After changing to a BA in Communications and doing extensive travels to Europe and other countries – my quest for finding my true passion and Life purpose continued.  It was only a couple years later that I discovered life coaching and at last felt like I was doing something that I was passionate about.  Not only could I focus on my own self-discovery and growth but I could help others to live their best lives as well.

I later continued to study uniqueness coaching and began understanding the complexity of the human personality as well as the unique talents we each possess.  This allowed me to be a part of a team that designed and ran workshops in an academic and corporate setting.

In understanding the mental level better I realized that this alone was not enough to allow one to thrive as a human being.  I  yearned to understand the body and emotional level better and how all three modalities worked together.

My current study in complementary healing has opened up a whole new dimension in understanding and appreciating the body as well as the interplay of energy between the body, mind and emotions.

The holistic approach

The Holistic Health approach to human development and healing incorporates all three modalities of mind, body and soul.  We believe that working on the mind alone is not sufficient to see results.  We are not just our minds, just like we are not just a physical body or a pool of emotions.  By understanding the extraordinary interplay between all three of these modalities one can attain complete balance as well as thrive to the fullness of human potential.

How it works

Each programme for the client is customised according to their needs.

After a free assessment of their situation, a tailor-made programme is put together that incorporates the following different dimensions:

1. Discovery

This dimension is the first step to personal development and growth.  This level deals with the awareness and understanding of Self.  This is particularly useful in the following life areas:

• Career discovery: You may be confused in knowing which career path you want to choose.  By understanding your unique personality type, talents, strengths, passions and values you can discover the perfect fit for you.
• Self discovery: Understanding yourself and knowing who you truly are is one of the best investments you can make to your life and with it you will discover an inner power that can never be taken away.
• Relationships: The most important relationship you will ever build is with your Self.  Discover this awareness and watch how this will enhance your interactions with others.
• Life purpose: Discover your true Self and how to direct this to finding your life purpose.

2. Clarity

This dimension provides the client with direction and focus.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey, we all need to stop and take stock of our lives at some point.  The clarity programme gets you clear on your goals for this season, getting you focused and removing any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.  This is very useful in the following areas:

• Career: You may already be in the right career but may feel stuck or have new goals you would like to reach.
• Self-realisation:  You may have reached a point in your life where you want to re-invent your Self or re-discover who you truly are so that you can feel motivated and inspired.
• Relationships: Get clear on who you are and see how this will affect your relationships with others.  With clarity and responsibility you will learn how to set effective boundaries and create synergetic relationships with others.

3. Harmony

This is the dimension most of us in the modern world struggle with.

Maintaining balance and overall wellness is becoming more necessary in order to function in the fast pace world we are living in.  Stress is also shown to be one of the number one causes for health deterioration.  Once understanding the causes of stress and dis-harmony one can achieve good health on all three levels.  The following therapies are used in the process of regaining balance and harmony:

• Massage: Massage is one of the most ancient forms of healing.  Sadly today it is only seen as a luxury for some rather than a necessity to one’s well-being.  A range of massage is offered from Swedish and sports massage to lymph drainage and aromatherapy.
• Acupressure:  A natural form of healing based on 3000 years of Chinese medicine knowledge.  Working on energy meridians helps to release pain and stress, increase vitality and stimulate the body’s natural healing powers.
• Applied Kinesiology: Muscle testing and balancing assisting in anxiety, insomnia and depression.
• Reiki: Energy healing that balances the different energy centres in the body as well as providing better energy flow between mind, body and soul. ( Can also be incorporated with massage).
• Hypnotherapy: Assists in removing addictive behaviours and other limiting blockages on the subconscious level.  Combined with an EFT treatment.
• Meditation/Visualization:  The power of meditation is becoming more apparent in today’s society and the results have been astounding in the workplace and corporate environment to assisting with daily life.

Finding the right fit

The extent of the coaching is quite vast and complex. Many clients  are unsure which programme or therapy to choose.  This is why we offer a free assessment session where after a full analysis; a customised programme will be put together according to your needs.

Some clients may just require mental/emotional coaching; others may require the physical therapies, while others may require wellness on all three levels.  Again, we understand the importance of uniqueness and therefore will develop a programme best suited to you.
