About me
I am a South African sports massage therapist, yoga practitioner and fitness coach. I take a holistic approach in my practice, integrating mind, body and breath, alongside nutrition and overall health and wellness. I am passionate about sports and movement, being outdoors, surfing, hiking, yoga, nutrition, food and cooking, and love to work with people. As a social worker, project manager, writer, sports massage therapist, and yoga and movement practitioner (MA; BSW; BA; RYT-200) I offer an array of skills, knowledge and experience. I marry this with my hospitality and service industry background, taking an eclectic and evidence-based approach, which enhances the credibility of my practice and work. Over the last eight years I have delved into exploring the human body, nutrition, movement, sports, physical practices and massage to enhance my understanding of the relationship between our mind, body and breath. I take a niche approach in all of the work I do, drawing from my knowledge and skills in a unique way which allows me to help more people - be it through practice, writing, or consulting work. I have always been passionate about working with people to assist them in living a healthy, happy and joyful life. Working online and from different locations offering events, workshops, one-on-one and group sessions, has allowed me to assist people and organisations worldwide. I work with schools, corporates, sports teams, at sports events and competitions to offer mindful movement sessions that assist with factors such as coping with stress and enhancing emotional regulation and concentration. I share knowledge through my blog, writing about nutrition, health, nature, and other passions of mine, such as cooking, yoga and surfing. Connection, empowerment, equality and collaboration are my key values. Working amongst various communities has allowed me to explore and understand different cultures and eco-systems. I continue to learn about the world through other people’s perspectives, based on their experience, culture and context, using this to guide my work. I am a strong believer in working together, combining skills and creativity to make an impact. I am excited to take a new step in my career and extend my reach, taking my work into the yachting industry. With my array of experience and niche skills I look forward to offering owners, guests - as well as the crew - a bespoke service. My goal is to ultimately offer services to enhance people’s overall health and wellness, integrating a variety of modalities. I am ready to hit the ground running - as a go-getter and fast learner I look forward to learning and growing into this new space. I am also looking forward to extending my knowledge and skills as I progress in my career, studying courses such as my powerboat level two training.

Hobbies & Interests
I love to be outdoors, to move my body and learn new things. The ocean is my favourite playground. Hiking, surfing, calisthenics, yoga, walking on the beach for sunrise, cooking, taking photos and writing are just a few of my favourite things to do!
