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 24, following a series of diagnoses ranging from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to Fibromyalgia, it became evident that the conventional medical establishment couldn't provide the answers I desperately needed.
My lifelong battle with undiagnosed food allergies coupled with anxiety and depression as well as the lingering effect of unresolved emotional trauma had resulted in severe burn-out with chronic immune and digestive issues.
In my quest for a solution that didn't rely on medication with poor results, I found myself questioning the root cause of my health issues. My innate curiosity led me to explore and study various forms of alternative healing & natural medicine. And so began my understanding that a symptom is the final destination in a journey that has taken place over a long 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 filmmaking into natural forms of healing, deepening my journey in exploring and studying metaphysics. 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. Through my health challenges, I gained firsthand insight into where a core aspect of mainstream medicine was missing: without making the necessary lifestyle modifications, incorporating dietary interventions, and most importantly changing my negative self-talk, no amount of medication, whether allopathic or homoeopathic, would provide a complete solution. This realisation led me to the next logical step in my holistic care journey. Learning to rewire my brain was a crucial part of my healing journey, as it helped me address my negative internal dialogue. This detrimental self-talk had a significant impact on my health, and shifting these patterns has been life-changing for me. As a Positive Intelligence® Coach, I am dedicated to helping others achieve their own transformation by teaching them how to form new neural pathways that promote lasting positive change, enabling individuals to replace negative thought patterns and limiting belief systems with healthier, constructive ones. I earned my Functional Medicine Health Coach certification from the esteemed Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) in the United States. I am affiliated with the Functional Medicine Health Coaches Association of South Africa (FMHCASA) and the Functional Medicine International Alumni Program. Furthermore, I am a member of the Natural Healers Association (NHA). I attended the leading International Institute of Acupuncture in Beijing, China, earning further certifications in Auricular Therapy, and Traditional Flame Cupping. I serve as a Positive Intelligence ® Coach and my extensive training includes certifications as a Meditation Instructor, Access Consciousness, and Reiki Practitioner. I am currently training as a Shaman. Having walked my own path of healing and transformation, I am deeply honoured to guide you on your journey back to your beautiful, authentic self.
