About Me & The Service

As a well-being consultant, I offer online well-being coaching via video call.

I obtained a PhD through the University of Auckland and worked as a counsellor for much of my career. Over the last 10 years, my approach shifted to a focus on well-being which is founded in mindfulness and informed by the wisdom traditions as well as supported by neuroscience.

I work from the premise that when we glimpse the truth of our nature, we get a clearer view of our freedom.

Originally from South Africa, I live in Tauranga, NZ and love getting into nature and taking long walks on the beach with my family.

I, however, don't provide a crisis service.
