We are nature, remembering.
Hello, and thank you for being here.
Many of the people I work with are searching for a way of living and working that feels balanced, spacious and sustainable. And they don’t want to do it alone.
My practice weaves together integral coaching, relational practices and ecological awareness to support that search.
At the heart of this are three simple beliefs.
Firstly, that every person carries the innate capacity to live and thrive with wisdom and vitality.
Secondly, that life is relational and connection crucial for well-being.
And thirdly, that reawakening our love for the natural world changes not only how we care for it, but how we live within it.
I was the co-founder and coordinator of the Earthskills Africa initiative and the Earthskills Gathering (South Africa), both of which shaped my understanding of how ecological connection, land-based skills, and community building can strengthen resilience and belonging.
I also have a background in language and communications, having worked as a writer and editor, both locally and internationally, for the past 25 years.
My greatest learning, however, has come through mothering my two precious children, now teens – a journey that awakened in me both the questions and answers I needed to better understand the stories I inherited and the ones I feel called to contribute towards.
You’ll find more of my story below.

A season of change
A lover of the outdoors and wild spaces since childhood, I have always observed and deeply questioned the ways of the world and its beings. Over a decade ago, I found myself at a personal threshold – outwardly settled yet inwardly struggling with a rising sense of disconnection and a persistent call towards something more aligned with the deep care I felt for others, and for the living world. This began a journey of profound personal change and ecological remembering.
During this time of active transition, I immersed myself in the earthskills movement, explored alternative education alongside my children, embarked on both formal and informal studies in personal transformation, ecological psychology and relational lifeways, and moved through significant shifts in my family life.
Today, I live simply – between mountain, vlei and ocean – and my beloved children are moving towards adulthood. There are still challenges, of course, but there is also deep peace and connection, as my story finds resonance in the stories of so many others.
In my spare time, I connect with loved ones, explore our local trails, swim, surf, write, and deepen my practices in pottery, archery and ancestral skills. I move intuitively and tend what matters.
The process of rekindling connection is alive in me, and it is an honour to share it with you.
“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.”
