in a nutshell?

My life didn't please me, so I created a new one. I help others do the same

You can scroll down the page to view my credentials and experience, but I'd prefer to introduce myself as a person: someone who not only coaches and supports others to live their best life, but someone who has personally achieved it themselves.

I refuse to be defeated, even by myself

The Snap Shot

I understand what it takes to heal from a broken past, overcome fear and challenges, and create a new you. I not only talk the talk but also walk the walk when it comes to health, success, relationships, adventure, parenting, and creativity. Here's a little snapshot of my life (so far)

high altitude mountaineering

I have climbed Kilimanjaro (Kenya), Elbrus (Russia) and Toubkal (Morocco). Sprinkled in between have been a lot of local South African treks and peaks in the Drakensburg and more. Why do I do this? Because there is no opportunity on earth that compares to the raw reality of life and how you experience yourself when lost within a mountain's shadow.

rock climbing

You can't climb big mountains every day, but you can climb rock faces, artificial walls, fireplaces, roof struts... anything really if the party is good enough! Rock-climbing is my medicine and my meditation, I am super happy to have found an outlet for all my energy, focus, competitive nature, and yes, also my fear  :) I came to climbing late in life, but have managed to win 6 competitions in female open (so far!)

poetry and writing

The written word is where I find my greatest creative and emotional outlet, and when the mood takes me I write a fair amount of poetry. I have 3 solid plans in place for my next books, I am just waiting for life to provide the time. Existential questions and my need to understand all of human nature (and the universe itself) is usually what keeps me up at night. Oh, and I also get extreme joy in crafting just the right words to elicit love and gratitude in those I share my life with.

art

I've had a passion for drawing since childhood, and I kicked off my professional journey as an animator, establishing my first company at the age of 22. This provided me with both the financial resources and the time to study metaphysics, psychology, and coaching. I've stayed current with my design and development skills because, in my view, art serves as a universal language, continually connecting us to the awe-inspiring beauty of humanity and our world.

NICK

I have said this to you before, I have no idea what brought us together, I was not a massive believer in the coach/self-help space and had never posted or sent a single message on Linkedin. Meeting you has been a life changing experience. The best way for me to respond to write up the impact you have had across our three goals. I believe that your influence in my career was massive and almost impossible to quantify. You helped bring clarity, strategic direction and actions and accountability. As we discussed, I feel that looking forward this is a fundamental that I wish to keep.

I found you to be the most valuable confidant through my divorce. What I have valued the most about your approach, was that you heard me, you understood me, but you challenged me. There was countless session where I left with things you said and thoughts I had, that made me consider what my heartache and pain would not. [...] I believe you have helped me, be a better father, ex husband and person in this parting.

Finally, me. Your process understood me, it broke me down and you saw through the defensives that I have used to charm and avoid the truths of who I am. Our sessions were raw and emotional, I left feeling exhausted and liberated. Whilst we found my faults and looked to heal the response, you helped me see the good and the future. I struggled to acknowledge that I was worthy and deserving. You made me see that and that feels amazing. That creates such a beautiful thought in mind about my next life and what feeling is going to be like. Thank you Sonia, I leave our engagement a better person and excited for my future.
