I use biofeedback, neuroscience, and mindfulness as tools in my coaching. With these, we can explore emotional intelligence, flexibility, and regulation, so that you can manage both yourself and your relationships and teams better. I also work with personal wellbeing – managing a healthy body, mind, and spirit as part of my fully human approach.

My husband and I live in Midrand, Johannesburg, with our three sons. I love being outdoors and physically active. My passions are healthy cooking, organic gardening and I personally believe that you should have more books that you can read.
