About Me & The Service
Compassionate Well-Being Coaching
As a well-being consultant with a strong academic and professional background, I offer a unique and comprehensive approach to online well-being coaching, via video call. (Online coaching is the same process as in-person coaching but delivered through online video calls). I hold a PhD from the University of Auckland and have spent much of my career working as a counsellor. Over the last ten years, I’ve shifted my focus to well-being, integrating mindfulness practices, insights from wisdom traditions, and findings from neuroscience.
Embracing Our True Nature
I believe that when we begin to glimpse the truth of our nature, we can find a clearer sense of freedom. In my coaching, I aim to create a supportive space where clients can:
-
Explore mindfulness techniques
-
Connect with ancient wisdom in a contemporary context
-
Understand how neuroscience can inform our daily lives
-
Discover their authentic selves
A Personal Touch
Originally from South Africa and now residing in the beautiful Tauranga, New Zealand, I draw inspiration from nature and enjoy long walks on the beach with my family. This connection to the environment enriches my approach to well-being and reminds me of the importance of balance in life.
Your Journey to Well-Being
If you’re looking for personal growth, stress relief, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey. My online coaching services offer:
-
Personalized sessions tailored to your needs
-
Evidence-based techniques that promote lasting change
-
A compassionate environment for self-exploration
-
Practical tools to enhance your everyday life
I invite you to reach out so we can explore how we might work together to enhance your well-being.
