Hallo Nadia

Elkeen het nodig om ‘n bietjie ligter te raak aan die einde van die jaar. In die jaar het ieder en elk swaar laste opgetel en hartseer, saam met teleurstelling, in die oë moes kyk. Die gebeure, drama en krisisse rondom COVID-19 was egter net ‘n seisoen in ons lewens. ‘n Lang seisoen waarvan die einde nog nie in sig is nie.

Ek het baie hoop vir die komende jaar. Dalk gaan dinge nog moeilik wees op die ekonomiese front, maar ons is waarlik geseën en uitgespaar. God is waarlik goed vir ons in hierdie seisoen waarin ons leef.

Hallo Nadia

Tussen die beurtkragsessies is daar soms ‘n kansie vir ‘n koppie koffie saam met my dogter. Die wyse jong vrou het my in alle erns gevra of ek weet van “fake accountability”? Dit is die vals verantwoordbaarheid wat mense gebruik om agter weg te kruip.

Hallo Nadia

Baie dele van ons land het die afgelope tyd reën gekry en dit is asof hele gemeenskappe nuwe hoop gekry het. In sommige dele was daar skade maar die meeste mense is dankbaar vir die reën ten spyte van die verspoeling en oorstroming wat plek-plek gebeur het.

Soms spoel trauma en drama ook so deur ‘n mens se lewe en daarom het ek die webjoernaal na jou vernoem Nadia. Jou naam beteken mos hoop. Saam kan ons hoop in elke situasie innooi.

As ‘n berader het my lewenspad met die van ‘n mense in nood of traumatiese pyn gekruis. Die kontak was soms net ‘n paar uur of selfs vir ‘n paar minute. Vandag kan net ek baie dankie sê vir daardie oomblikke.

As helper hoop en bid jy dat jy ‘n verskil maak aan ander se pyn en lyding. Die werklikheid het my geleer dat elke mens met wie ek in kontak kom aan my hart raak.

Fear, fake news and false facades

The three things that are thriving in the midst of a national disaster are fear, fake news and false facades. People try to cling to the idea that life has to go on as usual in the shadow of grave health concerns.

The reality is that we have to find a new sense of normality in a maze of anxiety-provoking, exaggerated gossip. It is hard to distinguish what is really happening and when are people exaggerating their situation.

Everything that happens is not a potential catastrophe and you don’t have to be in the centre of everyone’s drama. You are allowed to take a step back to take a reality check.

The good news is that people are resilient and much more flexible than we give ourselves credit for. We have used our innovative skills to deal with the shortage of electricity during load-shedding and now our movements are restricted. We have to make last-minute changes to our schedules because meetings get cancelled. We have to change our working hours and reprioritize interactions to fit in with the load-shedding roster.

"Breakthrough Champions: Your Wellness, Your Victory, Our Commitment" encapsulates our dedication to aiding individuals in overcoming trauma and achieving personal growth. With over 30 years of devoted study and research, I am deeply passionate about delivering exceptional care to my clients while actively contributing to the community and my private practice.

Within my practice, I offer tailored services to address various needs, whether it's supporting individuals in navigating personal struggles or providing coaching for transformative well-being. Additionally, I provide specialized services for the corporate environment, assisting employers, business owners, and employees in trauma relief.

Within my clientele, there are typically three distinct groups seeking swift assistance in overcoming trauma. The first group need prompt assistance with a recent painful situation. The second group comprises individuals longing for breakthroughs following adverse life experiences, including trauma, dashed dreams, and untapped potential. Some may be grappling with spiritual anguish or navigating life-altering medical diagnoses and procedures. The third group seeks personalized yet structured programs to confront specific life challenges, equipping them with the necessary tools and skills to maintain their breakthroughs and embrace their victories along their journey.
