About Me
Hi, I'm Cindy.
I live in a little piece of paradise in the coastal town of Port Alfred in South Africa's Eastern Cape with my three wonderful children, very intelligent Border Collie and two much-loved cats.
Like many people I work with, my own life has been shaped by seasons of joy, challenge, loss and profound transformation. Each chapter has deepened my understanding of what it means to be human and strengthened my belief that lasting growth begins with understanding ourselves with greater compassion.
I don't believe we're broken or need someone else to "fix" us.
I believe we each carry an inner wisdom that can become difficult to hear beneath the noise of everyday life, old wounds and changing circumstances.
My work is about helping you reconnect with that wisdom.
My Journey
I've been teaching yoga for more than 20 years, but my path has never been about a single modality.
Since 2006 I've trained in crystal healing, aromatherapy, acupressure, colour therapy, counselling and intuitive development. Over the years I've continued studying the chakra system, dream symbolism and astrology, always with the same question in mind:
How can we better understand ourselves so we can live with greater clarity, compassion and self-trust?
Motherhood became another profound teacher.
The births of my three children opened me to a deeper appreciation of the wisdom of the body, the power of the feminine and the many ways we are continually invited to grow.
Those experiences eventually led me to facilitate Red Tent women's gatherings, creating spaces where women could gather in community, reconnect with themselves and support one another.
In 2019 my lifelong love of astrology grew into a dedicated course of study that has become an integral part of my work today.
Rather than seeing astrology as prediction, I use it as a powerful tool for self-awareness, helping people recognise their strengths, understand recurring patterns and navigate life's changing seasons.
Along the way, life has continued to be my greatest teacher. Like everyone, I have experienced times that have required courage, surrender and rebuilding. Those experiences haven't given me all the answers, but they have taught me the value of walking beside someone with compassion rather than trying to lead from in front.
How I Work
People often ask what makes my approach different.
I see myself as a guide rather than an expert with all the answers.
My role isn't to tell you who you are or what you should do.
It's to walk beside you, offering insight, practical tools and a compassionate space where you can better understand yourself and learn to trust your own inner wisdom.
Whether we meet through yoga, astrology, energy balancing, Red Tent or an Inner Compass Session, my hope is that you leave feeling calmer, clearer and more connected to yourself.
A Few Things I Believe

Curiosity creates more growth than self-judgement.
-
There is strength in vulnerability.
