Hi, my name is Deidré.
I help people who feel unseen, stretched across worlds, or tired of being boxed in reclaim their inner safety, regulate overwhelm, and live with clarity and purpose.
I’ve lived across cultures, industries, and inner landscapes—from South Africa under apartheid to life in London, Mexico, Guatemala, and the US; from silent meditation retreats to the corporate boardroom.
These lived experiences, combined with my academic grounding in Organisational Psychology and Business Science (UCT), inform a body‑mind approach to stress, resilience, and emotional mastery.
What I offer is not one‑size‑fits‑all coaching.
it’s embodied support for people navigating life transitions, high‑pressure environments, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm.
Here, you’ll find ways to:
-
Strengthen your resilience
-
Regulate stress and nervous system tension
-
Reconnect with your authentic self
-
Thrive through cultural, career, and life changes
You don’t have to fit into one box to belong here —
you’re invited to come home to yourself.
You can't stop the waves.
But you can learn how to surf.
Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD, Prof. Medicine Emeritus (UMass)
Your body holds the story of your life—and the wisdom to heal.
Healing begins in a space where you feel safe, supported, and gently guided.
If you’re seeking more freedom, strength, or purpose, your body is already leading the way.
It’s not about blame—it’s about reconnecting with your body, your feelings, and your true needs, and reclaiming the power to meet them.
I offer a compassionate space to release what no longer serves you and step fully into the life you’re meant to live.
When you’re ready, I’ll be here to walk with you back home to yourself.
Heart-Led Leadership & Community Impact
I believe mindfulness can empower not just individuals but entire communities. Since 2021, I’ve contributed to The Earthchild Project NPC as a board member, and since 2024, I’ve served as chairperson, providing strategic guidance.
The Earthchild Project is a multi-award-winning organisation supporting children and teachers in underserved South African communities. Its programs in eight primary schools reach over 4,500 children and 150 teachers annually, fostering well-being, resilience, and leadership.
My involvement reflects my commitment to nurturing positive change and empowerment, starting with the next generation.
