I help women get unstuck and create a life they love

Hey there...

So this is me. More often than not, barefoot. Wife of a hunky adrenaline junkie who has wisdom beyond his years and inspires me to be my best self. Mother of 3 girls. Hardest and best job in the world.

In a business context, I’m the one asking the uncomfortable questions. The ones people don’t have answers to yet. I’m the one still going when others have said enough, it’s too hard, let’s just leave it. I’m the push it to the limits, not interested in "but-we’ve-always-done-it-this-way" excuses, jammer om van jou ongemak te hoor, I’m gonna-do-better-next-time, person in the room. I’m the jean wearing, ready in 10 minutes, put makeup on with my finger woman. I can run in high heels if I have to. I can learn anything if I put my mind to it. I love cars. I drink beer because I like it. I see patterns. Put me anywhere and I’ll rise to the top because I believe in hard work and I believe God’s favour is upon my life.

So why coaching?

For 23 years I was part of a corporate culture. I started out at 18, starry eyed and full of dreams of changing the world. The path my life took was not the one expected. Life happened. Love happened. 3 beautiful little girls happened. I have no regrets.

If I look back along this corporate path, I see so many people stuck in roles they hated. Jobs they took to pay the bills. Me included. I have seen so much potential never lived out.

So many people battling, stuck in places they don’t want to be because they are either scared to move, scared to dream or they believe they don’t deserve more. Even as a manager I battled to help people live out that potential. Whether it’s people who should be in a different job, or people who are held back by obstacles keeping them from the greatness that lurks within them.

I believe we are each born with a unique and specific purpose

Often the road is winding for different reasons:

The road builds character though and prepares us. No window closes without a door opening. No wasted hardships.From our darkest hurt comes our greatest light. If we will have the courage to walk into it.

I see you sitting there. Arms folded. Scared to hope.

Needing permission to dream. Yet it burns inside you. This longing. This greatness wanting to burst out your seems. And you get to a point where you don’t want to push it down anymore. It’s you I want to talk to. I want to know about those dreams.

I want to ask you what you think.

I want to help you push past the fear that chokes you and tells you that you will never be enough.

Or that you are too much.

Too loud, too excited, too clever, too pretty, too small.

Too stupid.

I want to take your hand and help you step into the light

As a coach, I am able to help you find your path and walk it. Find your purpose and live it.

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your reason for being. ‘ ‘Iki’ in Japanese means ‘life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.

My ikigai, is to help you find yours!

Testimonials

Adele is personal, informative and a deep thinker. She’s fantastic at unpacking things with you and finding the root. I personally experienced such a freedom after deep diving into my childhood with her and releasing certain mindsets. Adele is more than a life coach. She’s a confidant, she’s supportive, she has God’s love in her and her passion for people is so beautifully evident.

I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with you. Not only were they enjoyable, but they were most beneficial: a real investment; money definitely well spent! I would highly recommend your sessions to anyone looking for direction and input, be it in terms of career, personal relationships, time planning etc. Hope to let you know soon of the progress I have made on this next phase of my journey.

New venture

Before I worked with Adele I was at a place in my life where I felt like I was stuck, and I believed that I had no control over how I felt, or how I reacted to situations in my life. Although I was nervous at first, Adele helped me to confront things I wasn't aware of and after working with her I feel confident, knowing that I have more control than I give myself credit for. And because of the coaching I did with her I now feel excited about the future. Adele is warm, friendly, down-to-earth and makes you feel safe during her coaching sessions. I'm grateful to have been able to work with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach.
