I’m deeply grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received over the past few months. Doret didn’t just give me tools to cope — she helped me truly see myself and my situation differently. One of the biggest things I’ve taken away is the freedom of realizing that not everything is mine to carry, and that shift alone has been life-changing. Her compassion, patience, and insight have impacted me in ways I’ll carry with me for a long time. More...

Working with Doret at Think Holistic has been one of the most life-changing decisions I have made for myself. When I started seeing her a few months ago, I felt completely lost, scared, and overwhelmed after carrying a lot of trauma from childhood through adulthood. I didn’t know where to turn or how to move forward.Through working with Doret, I have been able to work through so much of my trauma and better understand my triggers. She has given me practical tools that I can implement in my daily life, and through this journey I have grown immensely. I have gained clarity, self-acceptance, and confidence, and I am learning to set and maintain healthy boundaries and stand up for myself. I truly feel like I am breaking old cycles and growing into the best version of myself.I also completed Doret’s 21-Day Transformation Course, which was absolutely superb. The course was incredibly beneficial and truly transformative, and I genuinely feel like it has helped change the trajectory of my life for the better. I would highly recommend it to anyone, along with working with Doret in one-on-one sessions.Doret is calm, warm, kind, understanding, and incredibly easy to talk to. She creates such a safe and comfortable space where conversations flow naturally and you truly feel heard and supported.Doret, thank you for all that you are and for everything you have helped me with thus far. I am truly grateful for how I am growing and changing thanks to your beautiful guidance. I look forward to continuing this journey and working with you ahead.We all need support and guidance in life, and working with you has been incredible.I highly recommend Doret at Think Holistic to anyone looking for support with trauma healing, personal growth, life coaching, and deep transformational work.

Doret is a real-life saver. I honestly love the way she will guide from negativity to positivity. She channels one through questions that you provide answers that "say then do that" to maintain peace and happiness. Doret does not solve ones problems but the clients comes up with solutions to the problems. I love her empathy towards me, may Jehova God keep her for me💐💐💐💐💐😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏 More...

Doret is such an amazing human being. When I first met her, I was a mess, my head was all over the place and I was going through depression. I was going through a very significant transition in my life and she took me through it and held my hand the whole time. I am at great space right now because of her guidance and support. She's such a breath of fresh air ❤️❤️❤️ More...

Doret was amazing, I’ve never done hypno-therapy before. I was concerned about doing it online but with good internet, an iPad and AirPods it was a very rewarding experience. Doret’s voice in particular is very calming and soothing. I normally struggle to calm my mind, I achieved it very easily with Doret’s help. I could not recommend her more highly for anyone looking for lasting change in any part of their life. More...

I really enjoyed working with Doret. From our very first consultation, I could feel how much she genuinely wanted to help me. I knew right away I could trust her, which made it easy to dive into the process completely without holding back. I'm already seeing changes in myself, I went from feeling quite aimless to actually putting myself out there and trying a lot more. It's great knowing I've found someone I can always come back to whenever a new challenge comes up in my life. More...

Working with Doret has been a truly transformative experience. I came to her feeling stuck in my career and overwhelmed by anxiety, and through our sessions, I’ve gained clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Her calm, intuitive approach helped me unpack what was holding me back and guided me toward practical steps that actually felt achievable.

Hey you, I was also looking for much-needed help, I had so many "foreign" emotions and questions that I didn't know the answers to.
I found myself in a place where I was walking the path of life but I was not enjoying the journey. I was overwhelmed just like you with who to trust and which coach would be the best, and I can hands-down say having Doret as my coach really changed my entire outlook on life, helped me find the answers I needed and worked through my emotions.
I am a 25-year-old guy and this is the best investment I have made in myself ever. Doret is very affordable and the value of her service is priceless. Once you are finished with your sessions it's not just the end of the road, Doret checks in and offers support when you need it. You won't ever regret walking the path of life with Doret by your side.

What do you love most about your job?
What excites me most about my job is connecting with clients like myself who are eager to seize control of their lives, enhancing themselves and their situations while charting their own destinies. I cherish forging new friendships and view my clients as companions. As we embark on your journey of change and transformation, I'll stand by your side through challenges and celebrate your milestones with you, because your progress is our shared triumph.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After two decades in a career that no longer resonated with my life journey and the realisation that I was fulfilling someone else's vision, I decided to leave and embark on my own entrepreneurial path. This allowed me to pursue my own aspirations of assisting others while also guiding women who seek to make comparable changes in their lives, just as I did.
Why should our clients choose you?
Through my personal transformational journey and the lessons learned from my own mistakes, I unearthed not only the secrets to assist others in changing their lives but also the steps to accelerate their journey toward their goals. Drawing from my experiences and the wisdom imparted by my own coaches and mentors, I strive to guide others in transforming their lives with efficiency and convenience.

Life Coaching
I specialise in assisting clients seeking significant life transformations to enhance their overall well-being. My role involves facilitating the development of a clear vision for their future and setting actionable goals aimed at instigating the necessary changes for a happier and more fulfilling life. Together, we embark on a journey to recreate their future.
Therapy
If you're seeking a space to feel understood, supported, and guided through life’s challenges, my therapy sessions offer just that. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down—whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma—and work toward healing and peace. Each session is designed with empathy and care, helping you release what's no longer serving you and rediscover your strength and resilience. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone where your growth, well-being, and future happiness are the main focus.
Hypnotherapy
In my role as a hypnotherapist, I utilise the hypnotic state to engage with your subconscious mind. When conventional efforts to enact change fall short despite our conscious efforts, hypnosis serves as a direct pathway to the subconscious. Here, we can address and modify limiting beliefs and outdated childhood programming that hinder personal growth. Hypnosis stands as a potent tool for facilitating rapid transformation, often serving as the most effective method for achieving profound change.
Free 20-minute Discovery Call
I extend a complimentary 20-minute online discovery call, serving as our initial introduction. This allows us to acquaint ourselves and gives you the chance to discuss what you wish to focus on in our sessions. Likewise, it provides me with the opportunity to outline how I can assist you and what you can anticipate from our collaboration.
