WHO I AM

My journey and vision to become an holistic intimacy and embodiment coach was as a result of ending a long marriage. After my midlife divorce, I felt that my entire world had imploded. I felt empty. I had very little left to give. I felt disconnected from my body, sensations and pleasure. I then began to look for my identity outside of myself, and when left further heartbroken...

that's when I stopped...and asked myself three questions:

  • who AM I NOW?

  • what do I really, really NEED?

  • what is my life PURPOSE in this new phase of my life?

I didn’t have all the answers, so I went on a soulful and embodied journey to truly heal and awaken to who I am. I spent time in quiet self-reflection, worked with a therapist, and immersed myself in the field of psychology, spirituality, and sexuality through reading books, doing courses and workshops and attending retreats (from Eastern and Western perspectives). My own sacred feminine body awakening experience inspired me to dive deeper into intimacy and embodiment niches.

My life experiences and knowledge gained, inspired me to train and equip myself as an Holistic Intimacy Coach (with further training as an ICF Accredited InnerLifeSkills Professional Coach, an Embodiment Facilitator, and a Foundation Certified Enneagram Coach). I am fully bilingual (Afrikaans and English). I hold a PhD in Psychology of Education, and prior to becoming an holistic intimacy and embodiment coach, I worked as a lecturer in Life Skills Education, until my retirement.

This was not the end of the road, but an invitation to follow my 'north star' more deeply than ever before - to guide and support women to live more embodied, free from shame, fear and guilt and awaken to who they really are in their Truth.

In working with midlife women, I have discovered that many women have a need to reconnect with themselves after a divorce, or feel lost when their partner has died, or lack purpose when children leave home, or after retirement. There is often also a need to overcome shame, guilt, and fear when a relationship has ended, and to reclaim their worth and confidence.

I understand this, because I was one of them.

This is why I feel confident to guide and support women to return to their True Self and embody who they are with confidence.

MY VALUES

Through my own personal journey, academic teaching, and coaching, I have come to experience that the more we return to and embody the Sacred Feminine within, free from shame, fear or guilt, the more we live and relate with love, joy and ease. I further believe that the more we integrate our shadow and our light parts, the more we can show up with confidence, wisdom and clarity.

I believe women deserve to live awakened, present lives, fully embodied, deeply self-aware, and in honest relationship with their sensuality and sexuality. Our bodies are not objects to serve, but sources of inner wisdom, agency, and truth. They are worthy to receive and to give. They are invited to return home to their Sacred Feminine Essence - their True Self.

On my own journey, I read about the archetype of the Sacred Feminine, which resonated with my interest in the feminine aspects of Divinity, and my Christian belief and values. The Sacred Feminine is a spiritual and symbolic archetype that honors feminine aspects of divinity and human experience. It is rooted in ancient wisdom, and is symbolised in Christianity in figures like Eve, Mary (the mother of Jesus), Mary Magdalene and Sophia (Wisdom), often in indirect or marginalized ways. The Sacred Feminine values presence, embodiment, intuition, and cyclical wisdom—honoring the body as sacred, sexuality as sacred life force energy, and presence as power. I value these qualities in my own life and in my coaching.

“The body is not an obstacle to the soul; it is the place where the soul lives.”
— Marion Woodman

MY COMMITMENT

My commitment is to walk alongside women as I guide and support them to remember and embody who they truely are with confidence, reclaim their worth, reconnect with their bodies' inner wisdom, release what keeps them stuck, and cultivate meaningful and fulfilling relationships, as they navigate life on this fragile, sacred planet.

I believe that when you embody and express your True Self with confidence, you experience the deepest intimacy which informs how you relate to others and the world.

The impact of such transformation is not only internal. As women become more embodied and self-trusting, their relationships deepen, their boundaries strengthen, and their sense of purpose becomes clearer. They show up in their families, work, and communities with greater presence, authenticity, and wholeness, creating ripples of change that extend far beyond themselves.
