Please note: I do NOT work with domestic violence or substance abuse. Here are some SOUTH AFRICAN support numbers. If you are somewhere else, do a google search or ask your nearest hospital or police station for support numbers or places in your area!

Note, since covid these centers are inundated with calls. Please do not give up hope if you struggle to reach them. Keep trying!

Healing takes courage, and I am here to honor the courageous step you took and guide you to the most rapid healing and transformation in the shortest time, with lasting impact!

I do things differently:

  • Marathon sessions (like the Gottmans offer) mean we do a minimum of 90-minute (or up to full day 5-hour) sessions. This means we get done in a day which could typically take months!

  • I am more directive. I don't just nod my head and listen (like movies can poorly illustrate a therapist's role).

  • I offer plenty of strategies with a multi-disciplinary approach.

  • My body-based trauma-release exercises and BWRT allow me to get done with you in a single session what would typically also have taken months. Literally.

  • I work with the couple individually and together to make sure the inner relationships thrive too.

  • I do body (somatic) work. I help you release the trapped emotions in your body through my unique Body-EQ method as well as learn to rebuild the relationship with your body. We are mind, body, and spirit and when we use all three of these elements we are mighty capable and powerful.

  • I offer high-ticket fly-in (to any destination in the world, or I can set up a South African safari of wildlife or sea experience) for weekend or weeklong intensives. These are VIP experiences and only for 1 couple at a time. 

  • I do not judge. My clients all comment somewhere along the line about how safe they feel with me. I see you for who you really are until you do too. And you're not bad - like you might think you are.

  • I am selective with whom I work. The selection process makes sure we are a great fit and have the best chance for success for you!

  • I do an assessment with my couples. After many years I noticed that the symptoms (usually poor communication) are a result of many childhood elements, so we do a deep assessment to make sure we work on all the layers and not just the presenting symptoms.

  • I use BWRT (Brainworking Recursive Technique) to help deactivate active triggers and traumatic memories (especially useful for affair recovery and bad childhood experiences that keep showing up).

  • I believe in you until you do too. 

  • I believe trusting yourself is vital to any relationship's depth and success and is a big factor in what I work with you on.

  • I offer containers based on a deep understanding of how things typically work for my couples (yet very individually tailored). My work isn't just theoretical fluff but practical and transformational (if you're committed to learning about yourself in the process).

  • I'm not scared of what you're going through, because I can see you for who you really are and what you are capable of.

  • I love bringing in spirituality if you're open to it too. But EVERYONE is welcome here. I am a spiritual-Christian, not a religious Christian.

"Nothing prepared me for what happened yesterday and nothing prepared me for the way I felt when I woke up this morning.  It's hard to describe, but my entire body felt light?  The best I can describe it, is that my limbs, my 'inside' felt like it was filled with clouds - thin, beautiful cirrus clouds - the ones that look like souls floating through the sky.  And so much space.  Nothing tight, nothing dense.  Later, when I had my coffee on my egg chair, I realised it was also like that gentle rocking weightlessness, yet cocooned.  

​

The experience itself - is this how it usually goes?  Wow!  It was truly one of the most powerful, intense and significant experiences of my life. 

​

And to think that wasn't all you did for me/us these past 2 days!?! The BWRT session on Friday afternoon was in itself hugely transformative and empowering.  And the reason we actually came to you... you truly helped my husband and myself to turn our approach to each other around - 180 degrees!  What a gift - for us and our child.  Thank you.

 

Thank you for sharing your divine gift.

 

With enormous gratitude and love,

Please note:

Please take note of the following requirements for working with me:

  • You need to commit to learning more about yourself and your relationship. Couples mentoring is not a place to blame or criticize your partner but to take personal action to improve your relationship.

  • Anyone struggling with addiction, mental illness, or domestic violence will need to be in ongoing, active individual therapy with a separate therapist before we can begin couples mentoring.

  • With affairs, further individual sessions are typically required. I recommend using Brain Working Recursive Technique Therapy (BWRT), which I can do with you, to work through triggers. The person who had the affair(s) also needs to dig deep into understanding the WHY of the affair and what effects it's had on his / her identity. There is also necessary grief work to facilitate the healing process

  • For online sessions, a strong, stable internet connection is necessary. This is non-negotiable as it greatly affects the session's effectiveness.
