Over the past twenty plus years, I have been fortunate to have helped hundreds of happy, successful and satisfied clients. Together, we look at all aspects of healthy living, physical, mental and emotional.

The human body is an incredible creation. We are our own pharmacist! As we move and increase physical activity, we release our self-made chemicals that improve our mood, immune system and bodily functioning.

I understand the issues that women face trying to get into shape both in order to start a family and so that they can take care of their kids! I have had extensive experience working with pre- and post-natal clients as well as a host of other Well-woman issues.

I have a special interest in core and pelvic floor rehabilitation and have helped many clients to regain their pre-baby bodies, both inside and out, giving them a new lease of life. Pregnancy and childbirth are great miracles! Miracles that can potentially change our bodies, not always for the better! Over the past two decades I have studied the postural and musculoskeletal changes that take place during this time in our lives and how we can rehabilitate ourselves to regain health and fitness to take care of ourselves and our families

As a life coach I understand the challenges that arise from adopting new habits. I work with my clients to set realistic and manageable goals, inspiring and maintaining real change in their lives. Together we look at obstacles and work out ways to move past them, empowering clients to believe in their inner competence.

I began working with adolescents to encourage them to find that living a healthy and active life is relevant, manageable and feels good! I have established a program that uses small time capsules of physical activity in school to enable teens to experience the relevance of activity and healthy living in their often very busy schedules. My message is, “A little goes a long way!”

Over the years I have noticed that the greatest perceived barrier to engaging in physical exercise is a lack of time. To this end I have established programmes that make maximum use of short time periods and cover all components of physical fitness simultaneously. This helps my clients to incorporate activity into their lives easily.

In school settings I discovered many students falling between the cracks, unable to access their learning they were writing themselves off as ‘dumb’. However, when students began to experience their mind as being more like a muscle, which they could develop and improve, they began to challenge their long-held beliefs of their limitations and they started to experience themselves making progress.

When students experience difficulties with learning, it is usually possible to pinpoint where their metacognitive areas of weakness are. There could be difficulties with focus and concentration, poor working memory, poor auditory learning skills, general executive functioning difficulties, poor logic and reasoning skills, limited planning behaviours, or flexible thinking issues, to name a few. These are all treatable, and with the right support, students learn to develop their skill set, overcome their challenges and make good progress. They learn to self-determine, rather than be limited by the expectations of others, and self-identify what they can do to responsibly develop, both academically and socially. We can enable each child/ young adult to find their unique ‘key’ to success at school, with their friends and, as they grow, in their adult life.

Our minds and bodies are intrinsically interwoven, and what impacts one will in turn influence the other. Body Psychotherapy addresses clients holistically on all levels – mentally, physically and emotionally.

Body Psychotherapy is an embodied therapeutic approach built on the understanding that our minds and bodies work as one and cannot be separated.
Often our bodies hold onto past unresolved conflicts. Merely talking doesn’t always help us to reach a place of healing and transformation. We know with our minds, but our physiology sometimes feels out of sync.
Body Psychotherapy invites us to acknowledge unexpressed feelings which we carry in our bodies. Reintegrating body and mind so that we can access our profound inner authenticity – our true self.

Wellbeing is a journey we will take together to a healthy, happy, hopeful, productive, and light filled destination. I invite you to join me along on this trip to change your life for the better!

To your health and happiness!

All the best
