MY STORY
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
For 16 years I was a passionate filmmaker who specialised in human rights documentaries, social commentaries and feature films. At the age of 27, following a series of diagnoses ranging from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to Fibromyalgia, I found myself questioning the root causes. It became evident that the conventional medical establishment couldn't provide the answers I desperately needed. My quest for a solution that didn't involve copious amounts of medication ultimately led me to explore
various forms of Alternative & Natural Medicine. My ongoing battle with undiagnosed food allergies and sensitivities, the presence of Lyme Disease, and the lingering effect of unresolved emotional trauma had resulted in anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic immune and digestive problems. And so began my understanding that a symptom is the final destination in a journey that has taken place over a long period of time. Through symptoms, our bodies communicate what is happening in our internal world.
A life-altering experience involving a serious fall off one of my horses, led me to make the full-time transition from film making into natural forms of healing and a deepening of my journey in exploring and studying meta-physics. After completing my training at the International Institute of Acupuncture in Beijing China in 2011, I returned to South Africa to open my practice, Soul Intention, on my farm outside Pretoria East.
While under the continued treatment of a Homeopath and a Homeopathic Allergy Specialist, I was able to gain first hand insight into where another fundamental piece of the puzzle was missing - Without lifestyle modification and dietary intervention, no amount of medication, whether homeopathic or allopathic was going to be the solution. This led me to the next logical step on my journey in holistic care.
I earned my Functional Medicine Health Coach certification from the leading Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) in the United States. I am a member of the Functional Medicine Health Coaches Association of South Africa (FMHCASA), Functional Medicine International Alumni Program, Natural Healers Association (NHA), Meditation instructor and a Bach Remedy and Reiki Practitioner.
