Janine
holistic coach
What inspired you to work in this field?
My husband's journey to recovery completely shifted my outlook on life. I found myself surrounded by incredible individuals who were transforming their lives in ways I had never imagined. Witnessing their resilience, along with my husband's, not only fueled a passion for working with people but also gave me the courage to embark on my own journey of self-improvement in the process.
What motivated you to join the team?
The driving force behind my work is to be part of a team where dedication is matched by genuine passion. I feel fortunate to be in a position where I am surrounded by colleagues who embody these qualities.
What unique qualities or experience do you bring to your role?
I'm all about embracing alternative healing approaches. I'm constantly excited about researching different healing methods. Once I've personally experienced a modality and seen positive results in my own life, I'm eager to share and integrate new concepts into our program.
What aspects of your job do you find most rewarding?
Meeting up with former clients from our program is incredibly fulfilling. Hearing about their experiences post-treatment and witnessing all they've accomplished brings me immense joy.
Memorable success story?
Out of the hundreds of clients I've worked with, it's difficult to single out just one. However, there's one particular story that truly stands out to me. It's about a female client who came to us on the brink of death—underweight and severely ill. Fast forward a few years, and she's not only sober but also emerged as a significant pillar within the fellowship. Her transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
What do you find challenging working in this field?
Losing individuals to addiction serves as a stark reminder of the cunning, baffling, and powerful nature of this disease. It underscores the importance of our ongoing efforts to combat it and the need for continued support and awareness.
What values or principles guide your approach to supporting the clients?
Honesty: I've found that receiving honest feedback has been instrumental in my personal journey of self-discovery.
Kindness: I'm a firm believer in treating others with kindness and empathy, the way I would want to be treated myself
Open-mindedness: I value the ability to see the world from different perspectives, embracing diversity and understanding others' viewpoints.
What is your personal mission statement?
My life's mission is to build a platform that inspires individuals to realize their full potential and go beyond, empowering them to become the best versions of themselves.
Being in nature, whether it's in the bushveld, forests, or by water, rejuvenates my spirit. Surrounding myself with animals and plants nourishes my soul and brings me peace. Additionally, I have a profound passion for crystals and love delving into holistic healing topics.
