Work With Me

Working
together.

Every engagement begins with a free discovery call. No agenda, no sales pitch. An honest conversation to see if working together makes sense.

Where we begin

Always a
conversation first.

Before anything else, we talk. Not to assess you or sell you something — but to get a sense of each other. To find out if working together is the right fit.

This call is free, it lasts 30 to 45 minutes, and there is no obligation on either side. It is simply an honest conversation between two people deciding whether to walk a road together.

The Way Back

6 sessions · Fortnightly · 60 minutes
Begin With a Discovery Call Read the full description →

A 12-week accompanied journey for the high-functioning person who has tried everything and is ready to stop thinking their way out.

We go at your pace, in your direction. The early sessions are simply about arriving — slowing down enough to hear what's actually happening underneath the managing and the performing. Many clients haven't done that in years, and it tends to surprise them.

From there, things start to have names. The exhaustion, the not recognising yourself, the sense that the tools that used to work no longer do — there is structure to all of it, and understanding that structure changes your relationship to it.

By the later sessions, most clients are moving toward what they actually want rather than away from what's wrong. Quietly, and on their own terms.

What most clients notice
  • The noise begins to quiet — the chronic hum of stress starts to settle
  • You start to hear yourself more clearly, underneath the performing and the should
  • A pause appears before decisions — a moment to find what is actually right for you
  • Things start to come off the plate — not from exhaustion, but from discernment
  • The people around you notice something has shifted before you fully feel it yourself
Structure
  • 6 sessions over 12 weeks, fortnightly, 60 minutes each
  • Opening somatic or breathwork practice in every session
  • Between sessions — a gentle check-in with a somatic practice or reflection prompt
  • Message access if something comes up that can't wait
  • Online globally or in person in Cape Town

Continuation

For those already in the work
Let's Talk

For those who have completed The Way Back and want to continue. The work deepens differently at this stage — sessions become more spacious, more lateral. You are no longer managing a crisis. You are learning to live from yourself.

Structure and cadence are shaped around where you are. Some people continue fortnightly. Others move to monthly. The right frequency is the one that serves the work, not the one that feels safe or productive.

Continuation is discussed at the close of The Way Back. It is never assumed — always chosen.

The Journey

What The Way Back
looks like over time.

Phase One

Arrival

Learning to slow down. Learning that sessions are not a performance. The first real moment is when you stop being articulate and don't know what to say. That is not failure. That is contact.

Phase Two

Recognition

The naming begins. You start to understand that what has been happening has structure — it is not random, not weakness, not your fault. Relief. Grief. Sometimes anger. The beginning of curiosity rather than judgement.

Phase Three

Reclamation

You start moving toward what you actually want, rather than away from what is wrong. Quiet, not dramatic. You start saying no. You start noticing when you are performing and choosing not to.

Phase Four

Integration

You no longer need someone to hold the thread — you can hold it yourself. You leave not with a plan but with a relationship to yourself that is more reliable than any plan.

The first step is
always a conversation.

No commitment, no pressure. Just an honest 30 to 45 minutes to explore where you are and whether working together makes sense. If it does not, I will say so.
