Navigating life as a teen or youth
You're at an age where you have to deal with changes that come flying in all directions at you. It's a crucial time when you are vulnerable and trying to figure out life. Past experiences might lead you to share more openly or shut down completely. Being an effective communicator and being able to form connections with others is important. So is being able to trust yourself and the right people with your deepest fears and heartfelt wishes. Letting go of self-judgement and high standards, negative criticism and peer pressure is part of it. Most importantly it is the start of a journey that begins with you. Learning to trust your inner wisdom whether it comes from your heart or gut. Find healthy ways to release stress. Deal with anxiety and conflict. Have the courage to stand up for yourself and know you are worthy and deserving of the best life you can live. Feel safe to move through life and go after your dreams.Career goals and finding your way
Are you feeling stuck. Or not sure of your next step? Do you over analyse everything or rely on others to tell you what you should do or be? It's time for you to connect with yourself and move forward with clarity. To listen to the voice within and reach for the stars. Learn self-mastery and being present.Living more heart-centred
When your heart is in the right place everything flows. Your inner compass guides the path in front of you. It helps remind you of your Why and gives you the confidence to go after what you want. We live in a competitive society with a lot of pressure to be perfect. We also are afraid of being judged, humiliated or feeling embarassed for trying. Having more courage and confidence helps you to deal with criticism and to pay attention to the inner critic. When you are more kinder and gentle with yourself. When you practice more self-love you will seek less attention or the need for approval from outside of you.Coaching experience
As a Coach (Communications and Coaching) from The South African College of Applied Psychology, I will help you through this process. To help you understand yourself better. Help you reflect on your patterns and achieve more clarity on your goals and way forward. Help you align with your career path. Especially help you tap into what makes you happy and what you are passionate about. We will look at self-care exercises to help you feel ease and stillness within. I introduce you to living a more heart-centred life with more gratitude and appreciation.Sessions

Testimonial
I started using Jasantha’s products when I ordered small hampers from her – one for my sister, one for my pregnant sister in law, and one for my brother. Each hamper was gorgeous, personal and amazing. She even knitted a small hoie for the baby which was later used in a photo shoot! The products were tailor made and amazing! Jasantha puts her heart and soul in the products, using pure ingredients and every item is vegan and cruelty free. I love the smalls and the softness, I have difficult skin but her soap does not cause any reactions, leaving my skin soft and velvety. My favourite (if I really have to choose) is the gel-to-milk cleanser, followed extremely closely by the rose hip oil and Castille soap thanks so much for your passion and amazing products 🙂 - Kim (Holland) https://harfield-village.co.za/business/aurora-natural-skincare/ -

Release, Relax, Restore
What will 2025 be ‘the year of’ for you?Running on auto-pilot
Most of us let our day or people and situations dictate how our lives should unfold ~ rather than creating with intention the life we want. Our default mode is set to survival. We become such experts at this fight or flight mindset that we don't realise the effect on our mind and body or health. Until some life challenge stops us in our tracks.Stepping back so we can stop forward faster
It's time to switch the pause button. To get out of fight or flight. To stop reacting to one external stressor after the other. To enjoy being present right where you are. To focus all your attention and energy in this moment so that you can move into the next experience feeling energised and uplifted.Living more heart-centred
It is time to reset. As you look at what is not working for you ~ you make what is not working for you unfamiliar. Rather than rushing from one moment to another, you create a space for stillness within you. You let your internal compass guide you rather than relying on external physical cues. Rushing around from one appointment to another. Skimping on when to eat or sleep. Pushing your body when you know it needs to rest.Coaching experience
As a Coach (Communications and Coaching) from The South African College of Applied Psychology, I will help you through this process. To help you make prioritising yourself and self-care a daily habit. To carve out pockets of time even 5 minutes just for yourself. To regulate your autonomic nervous system and come back into balance. To look at self-care exercises to help you feel ease and stillness within. I introduce you to living a more heart-centred life with more gratitude and appreciation.Sessions

I am so blessed to have connected with Jess over the last few months. She reached out to me on a group during a tough time I was having and her energy, words and wisdom calmed me almost immediately. Since then Jess has encouraged me, nurtured me and once again made me realize that I am worthy, special and deserving of so much more than I was giving to myself. Not only during our coaching sessions but the ongoing support and love that she has given me is inspiring and truly a gift. I am so grateful to have connected with this beautiful soul. All my love.
