Before I met Marinda at MYAC LIFE COACHING I was running myself tired in my head with no direction of my thoughts. I was captured in a situation where I had to cancel my wedding 4 months before the big day with peace and calmness about the decision before me, but no way to make sense of the self-confidence deficiency I was confronted with as a result of neglecting myself to try to keep a broken relationship together past its expiration date. Marinda suggested a systematic life coaching program tailor made for me and as a logical thinker I saw this as the perfect solution to my problem. I was thirsty to grow and heal and to be released from the prison inside my head. I wanted to feel better and think better. Marinda’s patience, wisdom and gift to recognise healing patterns is miraculous. Now I can start each day with a renewed perspective about myself, my self-worth restored and a new energetic approach to life and to actually live my life how I want to. Marinda reminded me to make decisions for myself and keep busy with things that is adding to my ideal version of myself. Marinda is an angel in disguise and a true life saver. Definitely an emergency contact to keep close for whatever life will throw at you in future! More...

I went to see Marinda because I was feeling stuck in every aspect of my life and was borderline depressed. I have done extensive personal work through all sorts of disciplines, but never allowed anyone or myself to have the breakthrough to get to the bottom of my “rubbish bin”.
Marinda instilled trust and provided a safe environment for me to not only find and address all my thinking errors and co-dependent issues, but also to understand that keeping everything inside was not necessarily a sign of strength. For the first time in my life I was able to open up and look at my past with compassion and understanding…not only towards others, but mostly myself.
She is a skilled and professional coach and worked magic in my life. I have not finished my coaching due to huge personal changes, but will do so as soon as I can. I have much less anxiety about my future and is living a more fulfilling life already, thanks to her guidance. I can recommend Marinda with the greatest confidence and have personally done so already.

I started seeing Marinda due to being diagnosed with ADHD leading a disruption in my personal and professional life. Marinda immediately understood my situation and set to helping me cope with it. She was very involved, which I appreciated and took on the role as accountability partner, which I really needed. I found her to be insightful, pro-active and very easy to work with. She had a big part to play in me completing my LLB degree. I would not have gotten through the turmoil if it was not for her. More...

Before reaching out to MYAC Life Coaching, I had very limited ways of dealing with my stress and anxiety, especially trying to communicate any matters to my family as they would overpower me. MYAC has given me a voice again. MYAC assisted me in ways to deal with conflict and stressful situations and set boundaries to maintain a healthy mindset and though process. I have learned to maintain my wellbeing and to keep my cup full in order to be there for others. More...

Before I started seeing Marinda I have seen 3 psychologists in my life to help me deal with my depression, ADHD and anxiety.
The medication that was prescribed to me by these doctors was not working or making me feel worse. I was really at my lowest point.
From the first session I had with Marinda she made me feel so welcome and safe. In the last 6 months she has changed my life completely. The people close to me have also come to me and said that my whole attitude and view of life has improve so much and that I am a happy and great person to be around.
She has help me identify my limiting believes and how to deal with them in a healthy way. I can now recognize my limiting beliefs and then with the help of worksheets Marinda has supplied me I can work through issues and spiral into the dark place I usually went to. She has given me tools, so I can identify what my goals are and help to plan them out, so I can reach them. She helped me learn more about who I am and who to accept my flaws and not be so hard on myself. My sister died in 2010 and she has been helping me deal with this grief which no one else ever could help me with.
She is the most amazing person and what she is doing is saving lives. I recommend her to anybody that is struggling with life. Without her I would not be as happy and amped for life like I am today. She is really the best thing to have happened in my life.

What do you love most about your job?
HAPPINESS IS A VERB and this is exactly what I love most about coaching and counseling. To form a partnership with my client where we both work on what is the best solutions tailormade for my client to fulfil their needs, emotional gabs, goals and resources available. To know that I provide a safe platform to help someone work through their challenges and grow themselves overcoming their limiting beliefs about themselves This gives me a deep sense of fulfilment and humbleness that I can help to make a difference in someone's life and mental health which is my greatest passion in life. John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” In here lies the answer of why we are searching for happiness all the time.
All of us are constantly searching for happiness without realizing that happiness lies within us all the time. Happiness is not the result of success. Most of the times we don’t know of our happiness because we don’t feel it. We do not realize that HAPPINESS IS A VERB.
