I believe that we need to live a life that is aligned with our authentic selves to thrive. Yet, most of us try to find our authenticity or ways to thrive via external means such as wealth, beauty and careers. Now, I am not saying that these are not important for our overall wellbeing because I don’t believe in being a struggling artist, but I do think that we need to look inward at ourselves for the answers that matter most in life.

Most importantly, we need to be clear on who we are, how our own nature can sometimes work against us but can also be harnessed to work for us. The central theme of my work here is the focus on the self but not in the Me, Me, Me way but in the way that will help you understand yourself better to live better and therefore have happier lives with other people as well.

My work here will focus on self and identity, how you can become the person you want to be, how to live a life that is authentic to you, bringing more self-knowledge to the table to help you understand your thoughts, emotions and behaviour, help you figure out what a meaningful life means for you and help you thrive.

I like to bring in both the science of psychology and the art of living as a human being with emotions since we need both our minds and hearts to align for us to function well. I believe that we each have within us an innate power to transform ourselves and our lives, but I also believe that our environment can wield enormous influence on how we think and feel about our capabilities. I guess you can call my take on human behavior as humanistic behaviourism, however, the categorization is less important than the value I hope my work will bring to you.

I have a BSc First Honours in Psychology, a Diploma in Psychotherapy and I am also a certified Master Life Coach. Yet, despite all that, I was still desperately trying to continue a career in marketing after a decade of being in corporate marketing, even when all my senses were screaming NO to corporate work with all of my qualifications and passion pointed towards a career working for myself in psychology and wellbeing. Talk about running away from one’s calling/passion/purpose and serious imposter syndrome!

I was always interested in personal development in all its flavours even as a girl and one of the most profound books I had read as a child was a book that talked about the origins of Buddha. I am not a religious person but what intrigued me was how as a prince Buddha felt an inexplicable calling despite his privileged circumstances and I felt that one’s circumstance and environment are only part of the factors that make up our path in life, the other part is our own innate calling. That stuck with me more than the religious teachings of Buddhism.

I love watching true crime documentaries and crime shows with serial killers. I am not morbidly curious about the crimes, but I am curious about the psyche of serial killers. I think the behavioural and psychological aspects are interesting and yes, I did consider a career in criminal profiling. Hello, fellow Criminal Minds fans!

I am married to a wonderful husband who is undoubtedly my soulmate, and I am also a claw mum to my five cockatiels.

So enough about me, let’s talk about you.

You know who you are. You are tired of everything, you know that the life you are living now is simply not enough.

Perhaps you feel a little lost and a little discouraged but beneath that is still a burning desire for a full life. You want to know who you are, what your purpose is and damn it, you just want to feel fulfilled and satisfied but you do not know where and how to step off the hamster wheel. You know that you have so much more to offer but don’t quite know exactly how awesome you are. You know that life is for the taking and refuse to accept that you should just be content with your unhappy lot.

You want to live the best life you deserve. My mission is to help you regain control over your life and start getting to know yourself and what you are truly capable of. Let me help you take over your world. Life is too damn short not to live on your own terms.
