What do you love most about your job?
I love being a part of someone's healing process and being the tool that helps them achieve their balance.
The moment a client sees the potential they have, that AHA moment is just indescribable and that is why I do what I do!
Watching a client begin to feel peace, calmness, and understanding they haven't experienced in a while is amazing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
There are so many of us that need help and instead of complaining about what is happening around me and in my country, I want to be a part of the change and not the moan.
Why should our clients choose you?
I will give you my utmost best and will try with all my knowledge and experience to help you gain all your goals.
I will be honest and straightforward with you at all times.
I will be patient yet push you when you need it.
And if I am not the right fit for you I will gladly assist you with a referral.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

School readiness Assessments
Is your child going to Grade 1 and you are not sure they are ready for it? contact me and we can arrange an assessment to see if they are and if they are not what we need to do to get them school ready.
Is your child in Grade 1 or 2 and you are concerned about their progress? Well, let's assess them and see what their strengths and weaknesses are and where we may possibly need to work.
Subject Choices
Is your child going to grade 10 next year and needs to choose subjects but has no idea what they want to do next year?
Send them to me and I will run a battery of test and we can ascertain what faculty they would like to study in and then what subjects that would need to achieve this.
Family Sessions
These sessions involve key family members that contribute to the challenge and the solution.
This could mean that although a child may only be living by one parent the session may involve both parents and their partners, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.
The goal is to create a clear form of communication between family members and that each family member feels heard and considered.
Individual, couples and family sessions
Individual - one on one sessions
Couples session - Any two people in a relationship (hetero/bi / lesbian/gay/married/committed/divorced) that would like to work on current challenges they are facing.
Family sessions - Key role-players within the family that may be experiencing challenges as a collective family group. This may involve or exclude members not living under the same roof, it all depends on the challenge.
