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 see my credentials and experience, but I would rather show you who I am as a person; someone who not only coaches and supports others to live their best life, but someone who has personally accomplished it themself.
THE SNAP SHOT
I know what it takes to heal from a broken past, to overcome fear and challenges, and to create a new you. I walk-the-talk when it comes to health, success, relationships, adventure, parenting, and creativity. Here is a little snapshot of my life (so far)
ABOUT ME
THINGS I LOVE
HIGH-ALTITUDE CLIMBING
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!).
WRITING, MUSING & PHILOSOPHY
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.
