Testimonials

I just can't thank you enough. We really struck gold when we came to you. We were both so wary about therapy, uncertain of what this meant for us and our marriage. You took us on a journey, both individually and together, encouraging us to see the parts we'd lost sight of. I feel that i have let go of some of the heartache and anxiousness that has been heavy on my shoulders for a number of years now, i have learnt to be with the feeling/thought and then let it pass. This is something i never thought id be able to do. Being with you has given our marriage a new lease of life, it has reminded us who we are, what we have achieved and what we have fought so hard for in the last 15 years. But it has also shown us we can each feel differently but still feel together and that we must take time for each other amongst the chaos of our own little snow globe.

I have had the privilege of working with Kirstien during both the most challenging and rewarding periods of my life. Her proactive, patient and compassionate guidance has consistently helped me to acknowledge my strengths and has inspired me to strive for the best version of myself, even when I didn’t understand this myself. Kirstien was a great source of support and an incredible listening ear, during the bereavement of my dad. Her calm and nurturing nature has encouraged and empowered me to develop and grow into a more confident and accepting person, capable of processing the loss of my father.

I feel even a good review would undersell exactly how much Kirstien has helped me achieve and how she has lead the way to unlocking more from within than I ever thought possible. I now approach life with more forgiveness and love than ever before. In the depth of depression and anger, after two close family bereavements, 30 plus years of internalised trauma and a cross roads of unreasonable coping mechanisms pushing existing relationships to breaking point, I approached Kirstien for support. Her professionalism, expertise and compassionate approach created a safe and supportive environment that enabled me to address my own issues and challenges from a better mental position. Over the last two years my life has been changed for the better for knowing Kirstien and spending time in her ‘program’ whether in the setting of the field of possibility, with its natural pool and stunning views or sat in-front of the log burner discussing life, awareness and any other topic in mind.

I found the 3 day nature immersion experience with Kirstien incredibly profound and long lasting. It was as if the being out in nature pried open my nature allowing me to become more acquainted with, and trusting of who I truly am. She is an incredible guide of this exploration of the interface between inner and outer landscapes. It didnt feel like the usual arduous therapy work but like letting go. I now feel confident to access answers as they arise in the moment rather than forcing them from my head. A true turning point in how I approach life and therapy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my immersion experience with Kirstien; she was a wonderfully supportive guide and a truly nurturing presence throughout the journey. I particularly appreciated the inviting environment, her sensitivity and wisdom, and how she was able to imbue the experience with as much sacred significance as playful joy. The experience was expansive and enriching; as a result I have been able to access aspects of myself previously hidden, which I can now process and integrate into my life moving forward.

In the high pressure role of freelance film designer, Kirstien supported me to confront key obstacles I faced in my thinking which enabled me to trust more in my creative expertise and vision. With her guidance I was able stay more grounded and find clarity amidst stressful times. Super grateful to have had her by my side.

It's no exaggeration to say that working with Kirstien has been life changing. The world felt like it was completely on my shoulders and I didn't know how to cope with the most basic of tasks, even those that I'd previously enjoyed. A combination of bereavements, longstanding family issues and my own low self-worth had seen me in a dark place. But from the second I sought help, Kirstien was non judgmental, understanding and took everything at the pace I needed to go. Sessions went from unloading of problems and verbalising things I'd never been able to before, to learning about how I could deal with and overcome the negative feelings. I am at a stage where without even realising it, I've been equipped with the tools to manage my problems.

Thank you from the centre of my being for guiding me through this so gently and patiently! I feel very blessed to have met you and will always value the support and advice that you have given me. I am blown away by the shift in my thinking in such a short time. Thank you so, so much for opening my eyes!!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support you gave me a few months back. I feel so much better than I did when we first met; so much stronger and more peaceful, possibly than I have ever felt… The conversations that you and I had, and the approach that you taught me helped so much, not just to get out of a hole but also to help me live a better life than even before everything went wrong. So thank you Kirstien, thanks for your time and empathy. I really do appreciate it, you are a great teacher and a lovely person.

We both found the approach you took with us to be exactly what we needed, and feel immeasurably stronger because of the things we spoke about”.

Upstream (for Kirstien) A sea of thought swept over my brow. How to survive is all I know now. A river of tears flowed down my face. Never present in time or space. A waterfall of anxiety filled my soul. Always alone never whole. Then in a thought; an instant in time. You showed me within in me all is divine. A pool of calm is all I perceive. The gift of your coaching has set me free.

Hi Kirstien, just wanted to update you, Am feeling really positive, have past the halfway mark with my weight loss journey, astoundingly .... have just started dating really sweet guy. Work remains key for me though still finding ways to be more organised lol. Feel blessed to have such lovely true friends in and outside work, am enjoying my family more. I will never be able to thank you enough for travelling alongside/with me on my journey of discovery and enabling me to be open to new horizons. Will remain eternally grateful. The irony of all I have written, to how I felt when I first met you, does not escape me; but I also now am able to be proud to say these things about myself.

We came to Kirstien at a difficult point in our marriage, which stemmed from some relationship issues that seemed to be spiralling out of control. There was a real possibility that our marriage might not survive long term. Kirstien’s calm and professional advice taught us about the part that our state of mind plays in the way we interact, and how we could avoid letting certain unresolved issues become the sole agenda for the marriage. Her guidance helped us to see our problems as modest and temporary in the context of our wider lives, and has undoubtedly strengthened our relationship.

Kirstien has also encouraged me to develop personally and professionally through her individuality tailored life coaching, which has been invaluable for my growth as a young adult. I could not recommend and praise Kirstien enough for her empathy, knowledge and guidance.
