How Do I Help You?
Let me introduce some of the services and modalities I use to help you.
Transformational Coaching
Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), powerful questioning, techniques and tools to help you develop and express your full potential with confidence, clarity, and vitality.
Why Change?
If it were so easy to change or to eliminate the things that prevent us from moving forward, wouldn’t we all do? The reality is that many of us don’t. We might be holding back due to fear, ignorance, or because we simply fail to recognize opportunities.
What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is personal development in action. It is a facilitated process, during which the coach uses effective questioning to help a client close the gap between where they are and where they would like to be.
Goals are determined by the client.
The coach merely helps the client to identify and overcome negative thoughts and mental blocks, suggests resources to help them, and supports them to turn ideas into action. Family, friends or colleagues often come with preconceived ideas and judgments about us. A coach comes to us with an open mind and the skills to make things happen! They help us to discover what truly drives us and what we need to change, and then inspire, motivate and work with us to bring about change.

My Approach
In as much as I have a stable foundation, excellent skills, and solid experience, my work does not follow a cookie-cutter recipe. In a grounded, focused, practical, yet highly intuitive and empathic way, I guide, support and inspire you.
As we uncover more, we may concentrate on certain aspects, but you remain in charge of how fast you want to go, and of what you are ready and able to implement in your life.
I work best with clients who are committed to their own growth and healing. And, if you are willing to own the responsibility for your growth, I take you to the edge, push boundaries, and create the space for you to be masterful.
Sessions are either online or in person, paid for individually or part of a discounted package.

Family and Systems Constellations
Constellation work provides a path to inner healing by helping us to access subtle, unseen, or unhealed dynamics beyond the conscious mind, and expanding our perspectives in the way we relate to others, our environment, history, and ourselves.
When a pattern is not seen, acknowledged or dealt with, it is repressed, causing us to carry pain, guilt, or other limiting thoughts and restrictive behaviours without us being consciously aware of it. Since everything is connected and interrelated, resultant trauma can often be repeated for many generations to come.
By becoming more aware of the dynamics, perceptions, and principles that influence us, we become more in touch with our soul. To truly know ourselves, is to become masters of our lives, leading to expansion, possibility, choice, and freedom.
Constellation Work and The Field
Constellation work is exploratory and experiential, and we treat it with reverence and respect. It has its origins in the work of Bert Hellinger, inspired by the African cosmologies and Zulu culture and traditions, who worked closely with the ancestors, and the interconnected field of intelligence and information (also referred to as The Knowing Filed, or simply, The Field). We are part of a family system coded into our DNA, memories and influences through our parental lineage, regardless of how we relate to them. We also have other lineages that influence us, such as those from healing modalities, interest groups, cultures we have strong affinities with, communities, and land, countries of origin, or geographical areas. In addition, we have our own internal parts, which all forms part of a complex connectedness, entanglements and imbalances with all things and different systems.
How can Constellation Work help me?
Constellations offer us a way to compassionately honour this through restoring balance, order, and belonging rightful place, what is rightful belonging. In this way the whole system shifts into a stronger and better resourced way of relating and operating, beyond the obvious and our own perspective of an issue.
We also become more aware of the resources and gifts of our lineage(s) that we can draw support from. All parts of us become healed, sometimes through radical shifts, other times unfolding through sustainable awareness and personal change over time.
A constellation is not there to find out what happened, or to change someone’s fate, but to look at the facts, and to bring movement, love, and respect into our relating to it. It influences our thinking, our patterns of behaviour, what we bring into life, and how we live.
What happens in a Constellation session?
Exploration can happen in a group setting, or one-on-one with the client. A group exploration would be where the client (or seeker) and other group members represent family members, phenomena or aspects, by accessing “The Field” to enable a representation.
We are guided by the phenomena in this unseen field, as well as how it is experience through the innate intelligence of our bodies, by tuning into sensations, movements, and subtle or stronger awareness. It is NOT channeling, and it is NOT role-play.
The representation can also be done using objects, placeholders, dolls etc in a one-on-one setup where the client places said objects in relation to each other, themselves, and the environment.
My Approach
I mostly use dolls, objects, or placeholders, sometimes as part of a transformational coaching session (with permission), or as a stand-alone session.
Online (with access to camera and in privacy) works particularly well in this day and age.
Kahuna Massage and Bodywork
Using the innate wisdom of the body to discover and heal
Many people think transformation is only in the mind. Our mental constructs are valuable information sources and expression, and are incredibly powerful creators. However, blockages often occur at a very deep level. It is of little use, and often detrimental, if we just “push on” if the trauma or stressor is not addressed or released.
That is where Kahuna Massage (or bodywork, as it is more accurately referred to) can open up a whole new dimension of healing and growth.
The therapist uses dynamic, rhythmic, wavelike motions over the body and it is left feeling cleansed, balanced and connected. As the body becomes more open, flexible and flowing, one can move through life with greater ease and presence.
Kahuna is different from many other forms of massage, in that it works on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It may release past life memories, stress and trauma locked away in the subconscious mind, and create harmony in the body’s subtle energy channels.
Bone Washing Skeletal Massage
Ancient Hawaiians believed that we store our oldest memories, cherished wounds, and inextinguishable desires in the bones. Not only ours, but also those of our ancestors. The bones hold the stories, memories and resonance of all our experiences and ancestral wisdom.
This powerful treatment involves working with a firm but gentle touch into the skeletal structure to release memories that may be causing pain (physically, mentally or emotionally). Deeply releasing & relaxing, the client can go into a trance or kind of altered state as these memories, dreams, visions and energies are invoked, activated or cleared.
The client is fully clothed and usually feel very connected afterwards.
Polynesian Floor Treatment
The Polynesian Floor Treatment is a kahuna massage variation which is profound as a complete healing session.
It stimulates and boosts energy flow, and helps to lengthen the muscles, mobilize the joints and will leave you feeling invigorating and alive.
You lie fully clothed on the floor, and allow me to work with gentle yet firm stretches and acupressure massage along the meridian lines and vital energy points
On a physical level, it works on flushing toxins from the lymph system, restoring energy flow, boosting the immune system and keeping the fascia (the connective tissue that protects and supports our body and muscles) relaxed and supple.
The floor treatment is suitable for all, often considered as “lazy man’s yoga” as it helps stretches muscled without exertion.
It is specifically very effective for:
– Releasing recent trauma, when the body is full of adrenaline
– When a sense of grounding is desired, often when it feels like “the earth has been pulled away from underneath”
– Releasing very stiff joints
– Relieving fatigue, muscular cramping and nervous tension
– Someone who requires a stronger, more “yang” approach to release.
– As a variety to the other modalities, to give the body something “fresh”.
The practitioner is trained how to listen to the body and to apply their intuition
Opu Huli Deep Abdominal Release Work
There is a powerhouse of energy stored in the abdomen, physically & emotionally. The abdomen is an often overlooked area in many forms of massage. Connecting with this area through massage improves oxygenated blood supply to organs. It allows release of metabolic waste, aids in proper digestion and relieves constipation.
By strengthening weak abdominal muscles, it can take strain off the lower back and assist in postural realignment. For women, it can assist to alleviate painful menstrual cycles. For men, full blood circulation can help reduce swelling or inflammation in the prostate.
Revitalising & profoundly healing, Opu Huli Deep Abdominal work reconnects with the source of your being and release deep tension.
What can be expected during a session?
The therapist uses dynamic, rhythmic, wavelike motions over the body and it is left feeling cleansed, balanced and connected.
It allows for a slightly sensuous and unpredictable style of massage and does not follow a set or mechanical routine. It is purely therapeutic, and is NOT a tantric or sexual massage. People often experience profound healing and impact on their being, and a trance – like effect is oftentimes experienced, when the client can get “out of their head”. They feel deeply loved and honoured.
Every kahuna session is different. Some days you may feel very relaxed with not much coming up, other days you may experience a cathartic release. One day you may just be floating in restful bliss, on another perhaps a powerful emotional journey. Often the effects and manifestations only reveal themselves in the days afterwards.
The intention is key though, and you remain in charge of your healing. You will NEVER be pushed or required to go deeper than you are willing and ready for.
It can assist to heal issues around intimacy and trust, emotional blocks, body issues.
It offers a safe space to become vulnerable, to surrender, and to open up enough to release deeply buried wounds.
Deep Tissue Spiritual Release work
The principle of deep release work is that all experiences are embodied. The body holds out emotional history as much as the mind does. These embodied patterns flow into all aspects of life, and influences how we think, feel, walk, talk, interact, and our potential for change.
In Hawaii, the body was known to have its own consciousness.
Deep release work brings attention to, and helps release memories in the tissues.
Tools such as fiery, deeper strokes, elbow work, sound, breath, mantras, forgiveness, ritual, and integration is used.
Please note that extra time is required for this type of work, and the readiness of the client will be assessed and discussed with respect.
What is Kahuna?
Kahuna Massage is a dynamic, deep, yet gentle massage, restoring flow and allowing for healing and release at a very deep level, also called the “massage of loving touch” . It is an ancient healing system from the Polynesian shamans that restores balance to the mind, body and soul.
The massage feels very supportive and nurturing, and allows for a feeling of safety to surrender and to let go. Very relaxing, it works gently but deeply into the muscles using continuous flowing strokes nurturing the body.
And it just feels WOW!

Reiki
Experience the body’s natural healing and balancing abilities
Reiki is a gentle non-invasive form of energy healing. It helps balance the body’s natural energies, relieving stress, assisting healing and well-being.
You may experience:
- Increased energy and awareness
- Feeling emotionally more balanced, and able to better manage emotions
- Reduced or released stress
- Accelerated healing or release of toxins
- Relief from pain or discomfort
- An elevated sense of well-being
I am an Advanced Practitioner, registered with the Reiki Association of South Africa, trained in USUI Shiki Ryoho (the more well-known “Western” style of Reiki), Karuna Reiki (also known as compassionate Reiki), and Jikiden Reiki (see below). I am happy to discuss the most suitable treatment for you.
Jikiden Reiki
Jikiden Reiki is the original Reiki, as it was in 1930s in Japan where it originated from. It feels pure and simple; a very powerful channeling of energy in a localised spot for a prolonged period of time. It is extremely effective in the case of an injury, illness, recovery from an operation or invasive procedures, or physical toxins.
Core Regeneration Therapy (CRT)
Core Regeneration is a modality I often use in conjunction with other therapies, yet it can also be used as a stand-alone, and offers a profoundly insightful journey of discovery.
CRT is based on the presumption that the body-mind system was created with all the necessary resources to heal itself. This core energy is affected by blockages in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. Balancing the mind-body system restores it to its natural state and results in a healthier and more relaxed client.
How it works
CRT is system through which the body’s core energy is re-awakened. A practitioner takes their client on a healing journey to regenerate the body’s own healing abilities at core level. The practitioner uses a muscle test to gain access to the information required. I have already used it with the most wonderful results; the core energy of the body always direct you to affected areas.
What is Reiki?
Everything is energy. Our entire cosmos is made up of energy, and at the core, we are energy. Reiki taps into and channels the natural, divine life force energy into the body. The therapists’s hands are placed gently on or slightly above the body. The life force energy is channelled through the therapist into the receiver’s energy field.
A Reiki Practitioner undergoes an Attunement, connecting them to the spiritual energy, so they can effectively channel the universal or life force energy.
