For the past decade, I practiced as a Counseling Psychologist in the United States, where my husband, our two children, our chocolate Labrador and I built a full and meaningful life. In 2024, we made the challenging- and deeply rewarding - decision to return home to Cape Town.

My years in private practice gave me the privilege of walking alongside women through some of their most vulnerable and transformative seasons. Again and again, I witnessed the profound connection between physical health and mental and emotional wellbeing - particularly for women between the ages of 30 and 55.

In my work, I saw how stress, anxiety, hormonal shifts during peri- and post-menopause, weight and body composition concerns, low energy, poor sleep, and the relentless demands of work and family life were not just physical challenges. They shaped how women felt about themselves, how they showed up in their relationships, and how aligned they felt with the lives they wanted to live. I became increasingly aware that many women did not need more pressure or rigid plans - they needed compassionate, evidence-based guidance that honoured both their physiology and their psychology.

This realization led me to undertake formal certification in Health and Wellness Coaching so that I could focus specifically on supporting women in cultivating sustainable, life-giving habits. My background includes advanced training in intuitive eating counseling, certification as a Trauma Professional, and extensive training in CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based approaches, and Positive Discipline Education.

Today, from our home in the Southern Suburbs, I am passionate about helping women build a balanced, energised, and joyful relationship with their health - one that aligns with their values and allows them to thrive, not just cope.
