“To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground”,
-Stephen Covey.
My background and Purpose
As a former lecturer, I discovered my true calling: empowering the next generation of leaders. I believe that success is not just about reaching objectives but about nurturing a sense of wholeness and authenticity. My coaching approach is centred on understanding each person’s unique story, guiding them to embrace their strengths and navigate their paths with confidence. Inspired by a Bachelor of Theology degree, focused on Community Ministry and a Post Graduate Diploma in Higher Education, I am passionate about guiding others on their personal and professional journeys. My 20 years in the corporate world, particularly in marketing and brand management, have taught me the importance of authentic leadership and effective communication.Enriched with a personal coaching certification at The Chopra Academy, complete with Ayurvedic lifestyle management and meditation practices; it is a privilege to help individuals find balance and harmony in their lives, integrating mind, body, and spirit.
I am deeply committed to leaving a legacy of empowerment. My vision is to invest in young leaders, helping them rise to meet the challenges of today’s world while fostering their personal growth. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where they can explore their potential, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a strong sense of self. With the combination of my educational background, corporate experience, and holistic coaching methods, I feel uniquely positioned to support students on their journeys.
By blending theological insights, practical skills, and the wisdom of Ayurvedic practices and meditation, I offer a coaching experience that is both enriching and transformative. I am excited to partner with aspiring leaders, helping them discover their path and build a brighter future together!

What is Community Ministry?
Community ministry is a calling to engage in transformative action that uplifts individuals and strengthens the fabric of society. It is rooted in the theological understanding that we are all interconnected as part of a larger community. Community ministry reflects the teachings of compassion, service, and love found in various faith traditions. This ministry invites us to live out our beliefs in tangible ways, responding to the needs of those around us with empathy and grace. The desired intention is to actively engage in the lives of others, creating spaces where healing, growth, and connection can occur.
At Soul Centred, community ministry is undertaken in three ways.
A Personal Mission: Honoring My Parents
For me personally, the first branch of this mission is focused on young adults, a tribute to my parents who opened their home to countless youth in need of guidance and support. Their legacy inspires me to create a safe haven where young adults can find their voices, build resilience, and cultivate a sense of purpose. Through Soul Centred Coaching, I aim to extend the warmth and wisdom my parents offered, ensuring that the next generation has the tools they need to thrive.
A Passion Project: Empowering Young Children
Building upon this foundation, my vision extends to the well-being of young children. Empowering them with self-belief and self-love is essential for fostering a generation that knows its worth. I am currently working on a book that aims to meet this dream, providing children with the resources they need to navigate their emotions and embrace their unique identities.
A Heart Calling: Empowering Women Through Workshops
Additionally, I am committed to creating workshops specifically designed for women, empowering them on the journey of self-love and personal growth. These workshops will offer a nurturing environment for women to explore their strengths, share their stories, and uplift one another. By fostering a sense of community among women, we can collectively break down barriers and build a supportive network that encourages balance and well-being.
A Soul Centred Mission: Building Avenues for Well-Being
My hope is to build and create various avenues that elevate well-being and promote balanced living. Whether through coaching sessions, workshops, books, or community events, the goal is to cultivate a space where individuals feel valued, seen, and empowered. Together, we can weave a tapestry of support that enhances the lives of those around us, fostering a culture of kindness, resilience, and joy. In this way, we all answer the call to community ministry—a commitment to living out our values in ways that not only honor the legacy of those who came before us but also pave the way for a brighter, more connected future for those ahead.
