I have a mission: To encourage and inspire individuals to make their choices and take action that lead to their dreams. To achieve their personal best and foster an environment of creativity, growth and harmony. My personal goal is to “Dance with life”. Join me!

I am a certified Life Coach, Enneagram Coach, Mentor, Reiki Master and Author.

I was born and raised in South Africa. I am a director of our family business of 27 years, in commercial and industrial property broking. 

In South Africa I was an active part of my local community in various projects such as HOPE (Hope for the Out of Work People.) and others, and served as President of the local Chamber of Commerce in South Africa.  I enjoy Honorary Life Membership of the Chamber. 

I now reside in Santa Cruz, California, where I have my coaching practice, "Coaching for Positive Impact!".  My practice offers life and business coaching, online self-development courses, and a membership program, 'Let's Explore the Big Questions in Life'.

I coach because I believe you have infinite potential waiting to be realized, and because it is fulfilling and rewarding to be part of your journey in achieving your goals. I work from the presupposition that you have everything within you to succeed in  life.

What can I learn from you?

You will learn that no matter what situation you find yourself in, it can be different and better.                         
You will learn that there is always another way.

That life is not meant to be the constant struggle and strife most people experience on a daily basis.

That we all have a tug inside that says, “What about me?” Is this all? No meaning? No joy? No fulfilment? No purpose? Even if you have all the success and material comforts…something is still missing.

Working with ME will awaken in YOU…

• A new vision for your life – one you did not think possible.
• Discover and remove those blocks that stand in the way of achieving your dreams and finding fulfilment and happiness.
• Give you permission to dream big AND go for it!
• Help you understand that when you befriend the Universal Laws that govern our lives, you can become master of your own life.
• Change from an Ordinary to an Optimum life of excitement, inspiration, prosperity and pure joy and meaning.

Afterall, it is your birth right. Let me help you claim it!

Trust me, I’ve been there.

The Enneagram is a description of the 9 interconnected personality types of the human psyche

It is more than a personality typing system. It is a system for personal awareness and development.

It doesn’t put people in boxes. It gives us the keys to free ourselves  from the box we’re unknowingly in.

It is a powerful tool for personal transformation.

Advantages of using The Enneagram – understanding of the personality types personally and in the workplace.

• Why we do what we do
• What our deepest unconscious motivators
• What our core fears and desires are
• What we are unconsciously driven by
• How to motivate ourselves
• How to manage our blind spots
• How to become more self aware
• To stop judging and accept others’ behaviours as we learn how much each of the 9 types interprets  and reacts to the world in different ways

What is Reiki? 

The word Reiki originates from Japan. ’Rei’ means ‘Gods wisdom’ or ‘The Higher Power” and ‘Ki’ is the life force energy – which permeates every living thing.  The essence of Reiki is unconditional love. 

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction that also promotes healing.  It is a method of transferring life giving energy to help bring the body back into balance, cleanse the body and speed up and strengthen the body to heal itself. 

Reiki treats the whole person, including mind, body, and emotions, creating relaxation and feelings of peace and well-being. 

Reiki is a safe, simple and natural method of healing and self-improvement that anyone can use anywhere and anytime.  It is gentle, soft and effective and perfectly compliments all allopathic medicines and all forms of natural healing.      

Reiki Therapy. 

The Client can sit on a chair or lie on a therapy bed and remains fully clothed.  The Practitioner channels the Reiki energy by placing the hands over the various energy centers of the body. 

The experience is that of being bathed in a warm, glowing radiance that flows through you. 

Reiki Energy has several basic effects that affect each one differently. 

It brings about:  

• deep relaxation

• clears energy blockages

• releases stress

• increases vitality 

• increases the vibrational frequency of the body

• healing 

Reiki Therapy is especially beneficial when you are recovering from an illness. It will accelerate the healing process.

 It can be used as a supplementary therapy and reinforces the effects of any other methods of natural healing.

Those who use Reiki regularly often find they are more joyful, relaxed and have increased vitality.  Their built-in energy    is enhanced almost as if their batteries have been fully charged.
