Business owner

I am committed to helping people develop and enhance their sense of wellbeing and purpose, by using their life experiences to facilitate their growth and transformation towards this end. I believe that life is inevitably filled with joy, trauma and challenge, but that the teachable spirit will find the resources within to emerge with greater depth, wisdom and compassion.

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1Cor 10:16)

I was trained as an Occupational Therapist and worked in the public and private health sector in South Africa and the United States of America. In a quest to enhance patient wellbeing, and prevent the lifestyle diseases I encountered in my Practice, I qualified as a Personal Fitness Trainer and Certified Pilates Instructor and ran a Pilates Studio in tandem with my Practice.  After thirteen years of working in the short and long-term rehabilitation of neurology and orthopaedic patients, I decided to venture into a new direction.

While completing a Master’s degree in Business Administration I was appointed as Administrator to a National Research Centre where I had the opportunity to hone my skills in finance, operations, marketing and communications.

During my tenure at the Research Centre I completed a Diploma in Industrial and Organisational Psychology and a Master’s degree in Business Coaching. This sparked the launch of a “Life-skill development programme” which offered development workshops and coaching services to the Centre’s post-graduate student cohort.

Subsequently “In Balans Coaching and Training” was born, the culmination of my passions, knowledge and experience. My broad knowledge and experience base now allows me to guide clients from all spheres of life, with a holistic approach towards their individual growth and transformation needs.

In my free time I love life, I love coffee, hike, swim, mountain bike, camp, cook, bake and have a house full of DIY project at various stages of completion.

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10b)
