“We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are”  Max DePree

I think of Earth as a school and we are here trying to navigate its curriculum – without any books! They say that in school you learn and then write tests. In life, you are tested and then you learn. Sometimes those tests are endlessly repeated until you learn the lesson!!

There’s nothing more fulfilling than growing as individuals and honing our skills in the journey to live our best lives and reconnect with our inner power. As a master teacher and soul healer, I’m deeply passionate about helping people discover simple, practical tools to weave into their daily routines, empowering them to live with purpose and confidence and to find the sacred in the everyday.

I believe there’s no “one size fits all” approach. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you, right where you are. Let’s embrace this beautiful process of transformation, one step at a time!

What I Can Help You Reclaim

I am devoted to helping people reconnect with the power within, the steady inner knowing that guides every part of life.
My work supports you through soul guidance sessions, sacred soul readings, personalised retreats, workshops and intuitive energetic realignment.
Each offering is designed to help you understand your path, restore balance in your energy field and help you move forward with clarity, confidence and a deeper sense of connection to your true self.

How I Support People, Animals and Spaces

Soul Guidance and Energetic Realignment

I hold a calm, intuitive space where you can understand what is unfolding in your life and reconnect with your own inner wisdom and soul voice. I work remotely with energy, soul insight and your unique blueprint to bring clarity and alignment. This includes support for individuals, animals, homes and businesses when their fields feel unsettled or out of balance.

Animal Soul and Energy Work

Animals carry their own stories, sensitivities and emotional worlds. Through intuitive connection and energetic realignment, I help them release fear, ease behavioural tension and restore harmony to their inner landscape. This work often brings understanding and healing to both the animal and their guardian.

Energetic Support for Businesses and Spaces

When a business or space feels stuck, strained or unsettled, I work with its energetic field to restore flow, clarity and stability. This may include remote clearing, crystal grid work, blueprint realignment and ongoing energetic support.

Sacred Soul Readings

For moments when life feels unclear or you are longing to find your direction again. These readings offer a deep remembering of who you are, what your soul is asking for and where you are being guided. Choose a full Soul Reading or a gentle 3-card Sacred Shift for quick clarity on a specific question or challenge.

Walking the Path of Grief

Grief changes us. As a certified death doula and grief guide I hold a compassionate space for loss, remembrance and renewal through one-to-one support, workshops and retreats. You are supported with presence, understanding and gentle guidance as you find your way through a landscape that asks for tenderness and patience.

Workplace Bereavement

For organisations ready to bring humanity into the way they support their people. Workplace Bereavement SA offers bereavement training, advocacy and guidance that helps workplaces understand grief and create environments where employees feel seen, supported and able to function during difficult times.

Retreats

The personalised, individual and small-group retreats I facilitate allow participants to listen to the voice of their soul in a tranquil, non-judgemental, peaceful environment. There are several types of retreat packages available, namely half day, full day and stayover retreats as well as virtual retreats. I use several beautiful venues around the Lowveld and various options that offer the opportunity to take time out from your busy life, cut out the external noise and focus on the most important person – YOU!

I will tailor-make a retreat to suit your individual needs.

Soul Sessions

Working with people is one of my greatest joys, and my Soul guidance sessions and readings help people to see opportunities instead of obstacles and get clarity on the next step of their journey. Sessions are either one-on-one or via Zoom or What’s App call.

My career as a growth and personal development facilitator, soul healer and teacher has allowed me to interact with people from all sectors of life as a guest speaker for the following organisations:

SABC Women’s Day event

Why a Retreat?

Sometimes we just need to take a step away from the fast pace of life so we can catch our breath. Think. Reflect. Introspect. I create a sacred and safe space for you to do just that. Maybe you just need some space in order to take stock of your life, take a look at your own needs and wants. Or you need a sounding board or guidance to get clarity on where you are and where you may be headed. Perhaps a healing energy session, creating a vision board, journalling or just enjoying the peace and beauty of nature while I hold the space is what is required.

What They’re Saying

I looked for clarity and I found it amongst many other things. There were many ,many epiphany moments. I found the workshop truly blissful in a loving space. I could safely and supportively explore my fears and let go of them. The discussion with others is extremely therapeutic

With little insight into my thoughts or the deeps space of emotional and mental processes I am currently going through, Di sent me through a reading which hit at the core of my life journey. Di is not only intuitively accurate in her readings but compassionate in the messaging

Connectedness

Some years ago there was a TV series called “Touch” starring Kiefer Sutherland as the father of an autistic child, Jake. Although it appeared to be a bit of an odd story at first, as the episodes unfolded, it was about the connectedness of all things. Jake saw the world, past, present and future, as numbers. He was obsessed with…

Journey of Illness: Part 2

Over recent weeks I have heard about several people facing life-threatening and terminal illnesses with the most horrific physical symptoms and pain. Pain so bad that not even heavy doses of morphine have done much to alleviate it. It's heart-breaking to see another human being suffer so as well as witness the emotional strain on their loved ones. I began…

Journey of Loss: The Spaciousness of Grief

Spaciousness. The word popped into my mind as I was headed down the N4 towards Old Joe’s Kaia where Marian Cottle and I were going to be facilitating our Journey of Loss Retreat over the weekend. It’s a beautiful drive through the mountains, farmlands and orchards, just 45 minutes from Mbombela where I live. Where we create and hold space…
Wisdom |  Clarity |  Support

My gorgeous purple velvet chairs have become a symbol of the gentle conversations that shape my work. They were a gift during a tender time in my life, and since then they have held many moments of truth, clarity and quiet transformation.

Now these conversations have moved online.
A virtual Purple Chair Chat is a guided conversation that helps you find clarity, reconnect with your inner wisdom and understand the deeper threads of what you are navigating. It is not advice giving. It is a space of insight, reflection and intuitive guidance.

Whether you are feeling uncertain, facing a transition, exploring a soul question or seeking direction in your personal or business life, these sessions help you reconnect with your own truth so you can move forward with confidence.

A virtual Purple Chair Chat is a calm, spacious place to pause, breathe and talk through whatever is unfolding in your life. You can bring your questions, your tangled thoughts, your grief, your ideas or the part of you that simply needs to be heard.

Together we explore what your soul is asking for and what your next step can be. I hold the same steady presence and deep listening, whether you are across the room or across the world.

You settle into your own space.
I settle into the purple chair.
And together we create a space of truth and transformation.
