Hopeless. desperate. lost. depressed.
One day I decided to create the necessary change. I reached out and made an appointment with a Life Coach, who was recommended by a close friend.
My situation and life changed forever.
What you wish for most is to experience a sense of purpose and meaning in your life. I believe that you have the resources and ability to create sustainable change.
By learning to identify needs and deficits in personal, social, and vocational areas, you can achieve fulfilment and freedom. Allow me to support you on your journey to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual balance and wellbeing. Create a purpose-driven life!
Trauma recovery involves the acceptance of traumatic life experiences as an integral part of who you are.
Trauma can be utilised to create the best version of yourself. I will empower you with the tools, techniques, and skills necessary to create personal growth, change, and transformation. Trauma processing enables the realisation that your traumatic history is not a hammock. Instead, use it as a springboard into your future!
Throughout this process, I will assist you in conceptualising your new, ideal reality. You will be empowered to create your future and find a sense of fulfilment and meaning in your life. This provides a way for you to move beyond trauma and not live in the past. You can find a sense of inner peace and acceptance, regardless of current or past life circumstances. Emotional, physical, and spiritual balance is within your reach. You have the right to a life free from trauma. Let me support you in achieving the mental wellbeing you deserve. Become present to your future!
Growth. recovery. Acceptance.
Trauma does not define you
Becoming self-empowered allows you to move intentionally towards reaching your full individual potential. I will help you clarify what makes you unique and valuable.
This process of self-empowerment incorporates your creative expression, value system, talents, and strengths. When you live from your unique identity, you pursue your vision and mission in life.
By exploring options, I will assist you to overcome obstacles and reach your goals and aspirations. Concrete and practical action steps will guide you to align your time, work, and finances with your ideal reality. Learning to communicate in a non-confrontational manner will ensure that you have your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs met.
Take the first step towards wellbeing, balance, and empowerment in your life!
Power. balance. fulfilment.

Acquiring Emotional Intelligence (EQ) provides an understanding of the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I will help you gain the necessary skills to improve limiting thoughts, control negative emotions, and modify destructive behaviours.
Transform your negative self-talk and debilitating thought patterns into a language of self-empowerment. Replace feelings of dissatisfaction, unhappiness, frustration, and powerlessness with courage and hope. Learn to identify old behaviour patterns to make better life choices and decisions.
By taking responsibility for the development of your self-worth and social worth, you will create the personal and social validation you seek.
I will empower you with tools to establish healthy, personal boundaries necessary for respect and emotional safety in your relationships. Find your sense of hope by focusing on solutions within a problem-management approach. Ensure the positive, lasting change you deserve!
RESILIENCE. HOPE. SOLUTIONS.
MAKE BETTER LIFE CHOICES
Every traumatic and stressful life experience affects our physical body. Stress is your body’s way of responding to positive and negative experiences. If left untreated, this can lead to the development of chronic tension patterns, physical pain, and illness. Thus, healing from these events begins with the internal process of Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE).
During stressful and/or traumatic life events, deep muscle contractions result in the body. The body will instinctively try to release this muscle tension with a natural, inherent tremoring response.
These “neurogenic” tremors are experienced in the form of mild to severe shaking. Although these tremors occur naturally in everyday life, people tend to suppress this instinctive response to tension because of social pressure. However, it is part of our body’s natural self-healing capacity and thus available to everyone!
TRE is a profound self-help modality that evokes the body’s natural tremoring response in a controlled way. I will teach you TRE to safely, and gently, release mild tension, everyday stress, anxiety, and trauma. Once your body returns to a more balanced state, you can practice TRE on your own, as required.
Learn to regulate your stress and tension! Become self-empowered!
I have always been self-aware, but life coaching opened my mind to a whole new world I was not aware of. I am learning to know the real me, and that in turn makes me feel empowered and happy.
Coaching is the unlocking of people’s potential to maximise their performance. This is achieved in a collaborative relationship between client and coach using a structured questioning model. It is a process in which thoughts are explored, goals are set, and actions are committed to, which are in alignment with the individual’s core values.
This process of self-empowerment creates an attitude of accountability and ownership, which in turn enables the client to reach their desired goals at present, and in the future.
Stress and trauma are part of the same continuum or range of experiences. The body’s reaction and the results of both trauma and long-term stress are the same.
Stress is your body’s way of responding to demand, which can be in the form of positive or negative experiences. Examples of stressful situations are:taking an exam, fear, fatigue, being in a dangerous situation, excessive noise, crowds, work or family pressure, illness, financial worries, and relationship issues.
Trauma is a disturbing event that takes place in a condition of helplessness, during which the individual experiences a real or perceived threat to their life. Thus, it overwhelms one’s ability to cope. Examples include: the loss of a loved one, divorce, domestic violence, car accidents, hijacking, sexual abuse/rape, physical injury, natural disasters, and being bullied.
When people experience stress and/or trauma, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. Additionally, stress and trauma cause deep muscle contractions designed to protect the body from harm during the event. Individuals who experience trauma or long-term stress without being able to release the bodily response (reduce the chemical load and release muscle tension), can experience the following symptoms: Tiredness, concentration and sleep difficulties, anger, frustration, irritability, depression, tearfulness, anxiety and worry, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in extreme cases (to be diagnosed by a trained professional).
Other health issues include: Low energy levels, addiction, high blood pressure, digestive problems, compromised immune system, lower back pain, headaches, and muscle cramps.
To prevent chronic tension, pain, and illness from developing, it is essential to release stress and trauma from the body.
“If you do not resolve trauma, it will begin to wear you down over time.” Dr.David Berceli, founder of TRE (www.traumaprevention.com)
Recent advancements in the treatment of trauma have shown that traumatic life experiences can embed themselves into our bodies and minds, sometimes lingering after years of talk therapy and medication.
This occurs because stressful experiences trigger an instinctive, involuntary, and intricate interaction of biological, neurological, and nervous system reactions. This process can cause the body and mind to remain in a constant state of fear and hyperarousal. Talking about the trauma can worsen this response in some individuals, as it may keep the nervous system in a hyper-aroused state.
TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) provides a safe alternative, or it can be practised in combination with talk therapy/coaching/counseling. TRE is a gentle and effective self-help intervention that is based on science and neurology. It alleviates symptoms without the need to talk about stressful or traumatic experiences. Within 6 sessions, a new awareness and understanding of the mind-body connection are achieved. Most people experience great relief and sustained change during this phase.
This is an often-mentioned practice tool when it comes to trauma recovery. It is a method and tool for knowing the self, in other words developing self-awareness.
The process of trauma recovery involves learning to pay attention to what is going on in your body right now in terms of your physical body, emotions, and thoughts. This awareness is utilised to create self-trust. It assists the individual in deciding what is useful to them, leading to healthier choices. Mindfulness is a strategy to take charge for people who have lost their sense of control due to traumatic experiences, or otherwise.
When we become mindful, we can observe our thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment or criticism, rather than reacting to them automatically. This develops a way to respond to complex challenges with kindness and compassion towards ourselves and others without reacting reflexively.
An additional benefit is that mindfulness practice is accompanied by deep breathing techniques. This calms the nervous system and restores the body to a state of rest, relaxation, and recuperation.
This refers to an individual’s ability to overcome adversity and adapt to trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. This includes relationship problems, serious health issues, and work or financial stressors. It means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences.
