Recovery is deeply personal. There is no single programme, pathway or set of answers that will work for everyone.
​
My role is not to tell you how your recovery should look. It is to work alongside you as you develop a practical and sustainable approach that reflects your circumstances, strengths, needs, values and hopes for your life.
​
Our conversations may sometimes be honest and challenging, but they are always grounded in compassion, respect and the belief that meaningful change is possible. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way, strengthen the resources already available to you and identify manageable steps that support your recovery and wellbeing in everyday life.​
Experience, knowledge and lived understanding
My work brings together professional coaching, adult education, recovery-focused learning and more than 18 years of lived experience in recovery. I understand that recovery is not simply about stopping a substance or behaviour. It also involves learning how to manage emotions, care for your mental and physical health, rebuild relationships, create structure and develop a life that feels meaningful and worth protecting.
​
I hold an IMCSA Master Coach Certification and have trained as a professional recovery coach and facilitator through U-ACT (ZA) and Starting Point (USA), as well as a Life and Business Coaching Certification from Inner Life Skills (ZA). I recently completed a Psychedelic Integration Course, and I am studying for an Internal Family Systems (IFS) certification. I also have a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Management and Economics from Rhodes University, as well as training in life and business coaching.
​
I remain committed to ongoing professional development and regularly study developments in substance use, addiction, trauma, mental health, neuroscience, mindfulness and human behaviour. This allows me to draw from a range of perspectives while keeping our work focused on your individual needs rather than forcing your experience into one model of recovery.
​
A collaborative relationship
I believe that people are more than the difficulties they have experienced and more than the stories they may have come to believe about themselves. Recovery can provide an opportunity to understand those stories differently, reconnect with what matters and begin making choices that support a healthier future.
​
You do not need to arrive with all the answers. We begin with an honest conversation about where you are now, what support you may need and what a realistic next step could look like.
