Frequently Asked Questions

What do You mean by SOUL WORK?

SOUL WORK is not self-improvement.

It is not about fixing yourself.

Using LOVE to anchor sacred modalities, mentoring, consulting, energy work, strategy, eldering practices.

SOUL WORK is the practice of remembering who You are beneath conditioning, patterns, performance, expectations, identities, and inherited stories.

It asks us to become more HUMAN.

It invites us into relationship with ourselves, one another, our ancestors, our descendants, EARTH, mystery, and LIFE itself.

This work is for those who sense that something deeper is calling.

Why African-rooted wisdom?

As an initiated Medicine Woman, I stand within lineages that know entangled ecogsystems as sacred.

SOUL: Sankofa, Oracular devotion, Ubuntu, Letlhaku le lešwa le agelwa mo go le legologolo*

(*a new branch is built onto the very old branch - Tswana proverb).

African-rooted wisdom offers a way of meeting complexity with deep listening, dignity, reciprocity and belonging.

It is not about looking back.

It is about carrying ancestral wisdom forward.

What is Ubuntu?

In a world that rewards separation, Ubuntu is my practice of remembering.

Ubuntu is an African philosophy often expressed as, “I am because we are.”

It reminds us that our humanity is realised through relationship—with one another, our ancestors, future generations and EARTH.

Ubuntu calls us to live with dignity, reciprocity, belonging and responsibility.

It is not simply something I teach.

Ubuntu shapes how I listen, lead and serve.

What do You mean by Decolonial?

For me, decolonial practice is an ongoing commitment to remembering our humanity.

It asks us to question systems that separate us from ourselves, one another, and EARTH.

It honours relationship, reciprocity, reverence, responsibility, belonging, and multiple ways of knowing.

It is a lifelong practice.

What is a Decolonial Thought Partner?

A Decolonial Thought Partner supports people to think differently.

Together we examine inherited assumptions, dominant narratives, power, belonging, leadership, culture,

identity, and possibility using indigenous modalities and an AfriKan cosmology.

This is not about providing answers.

It is about creating conditions for deeper questions, wiser choices, and more HUMAN ways of being.

What happens during a SOUL Session?

Every session is different.

Some conversations are practical.

Some are strategic.

Some are deeply reflective.

Some include storytelling, ritual, prayer, contemplation, deep listening, meaning-making, intuition, or spiritual insight.

Many are all the above and more.

Together we notice patterns, possibilities and promise.

Together we listen for what is emerging.

Together we identify what is most alive.

Often I speak what has not yet been spoken.

Consulting, is more directive; with specific advice, strategies, and answers where needed.

What is SOUL Companionship?

SOUL Companionship offers a longer journey together.

Rather than focusing on a single conversation, we build a relationship over time (minimum 12 weeks).

This creates space for deeper listening, reflection, integration, accountability, and transformation.

Some things cannot be rushed.

Some truths require accompaniment.

What level of commitment is expected from me?
Bespoke, intensive WORK, needs full commitment.

Full engagement during our sessions, and in the ways You implement what we uncover together.

Your results will be directly shaped by your willingness to participate with honesty, courage, and consistency.

Do You WORK internationally?

Yes. Sessions are conducted via Zoom for global clients, and in-person intensives can be arranged (including internationally) where schedules allow).

Will I receive recordings,

or documentation of our sessions?
The choice will be all yours.

Sessions can have an audio recording.

Some clients prefer written summaries or key takeaways instead — this can also be arranged.

Why is Welcome Home an Audio?

This isn’t something to study. It’s something to integrate.

Audio creates the conditions for more spacious change*.

🧠 Your nervous system responds to tone before logic — so while you’re listening, your body is already softening.

☁️ Your brain doesn’t need another worksheet — it needs repetition in safety. These personable audios, that come directly to your phone, create that.

🎧 Audio meets You in motion. You can LISTEN while walking, journaling, resting — this WORK meets You where you already are.

Sound carries frequency. And this work carries truth.

Because my WORK is rooted in oral tradition, storytelling, presence, and transmission.

*If your system does not feel rested with an audio, this offering is not for You.

What Becomes Possible?

Greater clarity.

A stronger relationship with your own knowing.

Language for what has remained unspoken.

The courage to make decisions.

A deeper capacity to stay with complexity.

More trust in your own authority.

Meaning where there was confusion.

Movement where there was stagnation.

Belonging where there was isolation.

Ask, Articulate & Amplify your Soul.

Do I need to be spiritual?

No.

You do not need to identify as spiritual.

You do not need specific beliefs.

You do not need prior experience.

What matters most is openness, and a willingness to engage honestly with yourself.

Are You a therapist?

No.

I am not a therapist, counsellor, or psychologist.

My work can complement therapeutic support, but it is not a substitute for clinical or mental health services.

Will You tell me what to do?

I offer observations, reflections, questions, insights, and invitations.

But my intention is not to create dependence.

My role is to support You in strengthening your relationship with your own knowing.

Will our sessions be confidential?

Yes.

All sessions are strictly confidential and it is my legal obligation to protect your privacy. Nothing will ever be shared with third parties without your explicit consent. If you’d like additional protection, NDAs can be signed.

How do I know if this is right for me?

Begin with a conversation.

Book a call.

Bring your questions.

Bring your uncertainty.

Bring your curiosity.

We will explore together whether this work feels aligned for where You are right now.

What if I don't know what I need?

You are not alone.

Many people arrive knowing only that something needs attention.

A conversation is often enough to begin.

Sometimes clarity arrives before action.

Sometimes clarity arrives through action.

Both are welcome.

What this WORK requires.

This work requires curiousity, humility and respect.

If You are unwilling to engage respectfully with African rooted wisdom, challenge inherited assumptions, or WORK in a genuine partership with a dark skinned AfriKan woman leader, we are unlikely to be a healing fit.

What can I expect from working with You?

You can expect honesty.

Thought partnership.

Deep listening.

Compassion.

Challenge.

Curiosity.

Care.

You can expect to be met as a whole HUMAN being.

And you can expect an invitation to remember that a beautiful change is what we see.
