Testimonials

"Life coaching with Chanelle has been an empowering experience that has left me feeling lighter and happier every time I leave her room."
Tamsyn O’Brien, Thomas Moore College, Durban

"The sessions with Chanelle has enriched Tamsyn as a person. Also taught her how to make more mature decisions and most of all has provided Tamsyn with a non judgemental sounding board!"
Cathy Hudson, Tamsyn’s mom 

"Since I started the coaching my relationship with my mother has improved dramatically. I have a more positive outlook on life and for the first time in my life I feel I can do Afrikaans (the subject)."
Roxy Buckle, St. Mary’s DSG, Kloof

"The coaching experience has been very beneficial to Roxy and us. She has definitely become more aware and sensitive to the things she says to us and the way she says them. Overall she is far more respectful towards us and more accepting of our views."
Sharon Buckle, Roxy’s mom

"Chanelle made me a happier person inside and outside, we have had a lot of fun together. She makes me feel like I am special, she is changing my life slowly but surely in a big way."
Kayla Solomi, Danville Girls Highschool

"Kayla could never speak to me with regards to her problems, when she started seeing Chanelle, I saw a vast change in Kayla, she is more loving, and openly shares her problems and feelings with me.  Our relationship has become stronger. Kayla loves spending time with Chanelle."
Nicola van Niekerk, Kayla’s mom
