Holistic Life Coaching – 1 hour R500
During your Wise Living sessions, Wendy will meet you wherever you are and at whatever level you’d like to engage in: working holistically to address nutrition and lifestyle and offering a unique set of yoga, breathing and meditation practices as well as spiritually facilitating any mental & emotional patterns that may come up through this process.
Wendy also offers massage therapy and energy healing to support your journey. Her approach is to invoke your inner teacher and inner knowing in order for self healing, sustainable change and true empowerment to take place.
Working with intuitive insight in the moment means that each session is unique. Seeing you weekly is best, depending on what fits in with your lifestyle, time and finances. By staying present with your progress and growth, together we determine how many weeks we spend. And if the hourly sessions run over a little, that’s ok, this is heart work!

Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching inspired by Ayurveda
1 hour – R550
Pronounced I-yur-vay-da, and translated as ‘science of life’, it is the traditional medical from India which provides a complete holistic system that deals directly with illness to restore balance and health. This ancient science has existed for over 5000 years and is a teaching of how to live life on a moment to moment basis that is in harmony with our individual nature and Mother Nature, a way of living with insight and balance.
Ayurveda treats each person as unique taking into consideration all aspects of a person’s diet and lifestyle and the affects these have on one’s wellbeing. It uses herbs and spices, food, massage, yoga, meditation and wise living as part of its philosophy to bring balance to the vital energies or ‘dosha’s of an individual namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha. As well as treating illness, Ayurveda focuses on preventing disease and maximising vitality.

1 hour – R550
Wendy has created a unique system of energy medicine which draws on her in-depth knowledge and the wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda, Buddhism, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Jinshin Jyutsu and various Eastern massage practices. Together with intuitive insight, she works with the individual to access and holistically treat the root mental and emotional cause of physical issues, which then allows your body, heart and mind to return to their natural state of wholeness and harmony. She treats with accessible yogic and meditation practices, massage and healing techniques, as well as guidance on nutrition, herbal remedies and lifestyle to help empower, facilitate sustainable change and enhance wellbeing in all areas of your life.
Ayurvedic Massage – Chavutti Thirumal
1 hour – R500; 1.5 hours R650
Pronounced cha-voo-tee tirumal and literally meaning “foot pressure“. This ancient Indian, deep tissue, warm oil massage is unique as the treatment is principally applied with the bare foot, using the hands for the finishing touches. As sensitive as the hand, the foot gives a deeper more even pressure. The receiver lies on floor mats whilst the practitioner applies the foot like a hand, one at time, holding on to a rope for support and balance. At no point does the practitioner stand on the receiver. Intricate footwork sweeps, kneads and frictions the skin and connective tissue that supports the muscles, organs and energy pathways. The treatment focuses precise attention on aligning and lengthening the spine. Treat sports injuries, sciatica, back pain, shoulder problems, stress and deep seated tension you’ve learnt to live with!

About Anthea
Anthea has always been a curious and adventurous spirit with an innate calling to inspire and add beauty in life. Her interest in the humanities led her to complete a Psychology degree after matriculating. She soon realised that she was searching for another way of accessing the psyche and facilitating healing. She began to explore healing modalities and 20 years ago qualified as a reflexologist, massage therapist and shortly after that a Reiki master. It was on one of many travels abroad that she experienced the healing power of Kahuna massage for herself. She began her studies with internationally renowned teacher, Mette Sorensen, in Australia 15 years ago and has been sharing this ancient, healing bodywork in South Africa ever since. Anthea has worked with thousands of individuals and has taught hundreds of gifted Kahuna bodyworkers during this time. As she says, “It is my joy and privilege to share this life-changing work with you too!”

Energy based healing modality utilizing the powerful influences of the crystals and the Shamanic influences of the elements and the four directions. The client is placed in a sacred circle, spiritual guides and angels are called, as the crystals are laid upon the body. Patsy uses a variety of techniques in her healings, one of which was taught to her by a 10th generation Cherokee Medicine healer who adopted her as her granddaughter and passed the traditions down to her. Her teacher was also Naisha Ashian who wrote the Book of Stones so the two traditions are blended depending on the healing needs of the client.

Utilizing Naisha Ashian Crystal Ally cards and the energy of the stones, we explore together the aspects of your life that you are resonating with at the present time. This is a deeply healing reading and one in which there is a lot of spiritual counseling. Clients have often remarked that a session with the cards has helped them more than a year of traditional physiological therapy. Patsy is also a Radical Forgiveness Couch and helps her in following through with a reading on a deeply therapeutic level. This is NOT a fortune telling reading but rather a work in to the inner most parts of oneself. When booking this treatment allow the time for processing also.
