My Life Journey

Early Childhood

As a young child, I was completely fascinated with cameras – how I could Make my Witness become visible for others to explore and be impacted by. My nursery school report shows I was a natural storyteller and I loved observing people. From an early age I knew I wanted to take pictures of people to tell their stories.

Career Work as a Photographer

Being a very curious person by nature, and also very in touch with my superpower – seeing moments between expressions and body language, I decided to be a wedding and portrait photographer. I wanted to showcase these moments so that my clients could relive their milestones.

For 37 years of my career in South Africa, I photographed around 830 weddings, about 1 450 families and about 150 corporate functions. My clients included some famous people like Dali Tambo and four Presidents Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa.

My Work as a Boudoir Photography Coach

I realized I embodied another superpower – understanding how may women felt unseen and unsupported in their personal growth. I learnt so much from Dr Claire Zammit and her wonderful Women Centred Coaching approach. Combining my skill at feeling what many women were feeling, together with my photographic skills, I photographed over 700 women of all backgrounds and journeys who wanted to showcase their many facets as women.

Many of these clients first needed my support to process what they didn’t yet like about their bodies and undo conditioning and false beliefs they had accepted about themselves.

In 2015, I successfully completed the online Heart IQ program called Relationship Mastery. I started using these proven methods in my relationship coaching practice and helped many couples to process turbulence and disconnect and restore deeper connection and emotional and physical intimacy.

I have successfully supported many couples, together and individually, in South Africa and also here in Germany to process challenges in love relationships, find their true selves again and repair connection in the relationship
or
end the relationship in a conscious and loving way, so that both people, and children, can move forward without hurt or resentment.
