The Heart Behind Amanzi
More Than a Practice — A Life Lived
Amanzi grew from more than professional training. It grew from a life shaped by love, loss, resilience, intuition and the understanding that sometimes life asks us to rebuild from the ground up.
As a grief and relationship specialist, my work has centred around supporting people through grief, loss, relationship changes and the deeply personal process of finding themselves again.
Over time, that work has evolved into something uniquely Amanzi — bringing together professional knowledge, lived experience, intuitive and spiritual understanding, and the healing connection between people, horses and nature.
I don’t believe healing is about fixing what is “broken.” I believe it is about creating enough safety, understanding and connection for something within us to begin moving again.
Amanzi is the culmination of my life’s work — a place to rebuild, reconnect and rise.
Why Amanzi?
Water. Heart. Healing.
Healing was never about fixing — it was always about flow.
Our Mission
At Amanzi, our mission is to help people find themselves again after life changes everything. Through compassionate, deeply personal support, we create a space where people can rebuild after loss and change, reconnect with themselves and what matters most, and rise into a life shaped by meaning, resilience and hope.
Our approach brings together counselling, life reconstruction, equine-assisted therapy, intuitive and energy-based practices, education and meaningful connection with nature. There is no single path to healing — only the one that honours the whole person and meets them where they are.
A Framework Born From Lived Experience
Wherever you are in your story, you don’t have to navigate the next chapter alone.
A Framework Born From Lived Experience
The Amanzi REBUILD Method™ was not created from theory alone. It grew from a life that required rebuilding.
After my two eldest sons were murdered one year apart, life as I knew it changed forever. In time, I left South Africa and moved to Australia with my youngest son, carrying profound grief, enduring love and the hope of creating a new chapter.
Through that journey, I came to understand that rebuilding does not mean forgetting, “moving on”, or returning to who we were before. Sometimes there is no before to return to. We have to discover who we are now.
That lived experience sits alongside almost three decades of professional work, study and continued development supporting people through grief, profound life change, relationship breakdown and major life transitions.
The Amanzi REBUILD Method™ brings those worlds together — professional knowledge and lived experience, practical tools and intuition, with compassionate support for the deeply personal work of rebuilding a life.
