Rather than talking about my approach to health and the nitty gritty details of my coaching system – let’s first talk about why you should choose me as your personal health coach?
Once upon a time I was a corporate executive in a listed company myself.
Notably Group Head of Digital for Avusa (then owners of Sunday Times, Times Media, iNet Bridge, CareerJunction etc). Before that General Manager of News24.com, SA’s leading news website.
I am telling you this not to brag BUT to let you know that I understand what it is like to have massive pressure and responsibility in the workplace – dealing with big budgets, critical strategies and the livelihoods of many people. Not to mention demanding and ruthless bosses! I get it.
How many health coaches can actually say that they know what it feels like to be in the hot seat?
During my career I lost my health and relationships. I do not want the same for you.
Eventually I realised I was on a one-way ticket to diabetes, heart disease and more. My libido was shot and could not maintain meaningful relationships with anyone including myself.
At age 35 I made a change. I discovered that life is better when you are healthy and decided I had to give that message to the world and dedicate my life to helping others build a healthier lifestyle.
I was a chain-smoking corporate workaholic who lived on take out, never exercised, sent emails at 2am, living on the adrenaline, caffeine and nicotine to power my way up the corporate ladder.
I quit my corporate career in 2012, took my savings and founded Sleekgeek – a social media driven health community that helps people to build healthy habits. We have over a 100,000 community members and have changed many lives. Something I am very proud of.
This journey has been very rewarding and a privilege to help people. It has been very rewarding. I love working with people. I love one-on-one the most which is why I continue to coach individuals privately.
