Born in Cape Town, South Africa, I represent a rich, cultural heritage referred as Camissa Africans or Cape Indigenous Africans. We are genetically complex peoples collectively representing over 195 lineages including our indigenous Khoena lineages. Reconciling and giving a place to all my ancestors in my heart has defined my life path and shapes my work. Rooted in this land, my love for our home and her people grows with every day. I am humbled to be called to the sacred vocation of healing ancestry and relationship to land.

I work as a Healer, Facilitator, Writer and Consultant. I hold a B.A. degree in Communications Science, am a graduate of African Constellations and in continuous mentorship in indigenous African healing practices. Adopted into the medicine practice of the Dagara people of West Africa, I weave together years of communications industry experience with reviving indigenous knowledge. Clients include non-profit organisations, sustainability projects and public health campaigns involving extensive community mobilisation, media campaigns and communications strategies to inspire behaviour change.

In my practice, Nalu Thando, I offer processes for individuals, communities and organisations in 1-on-1 consultation, workshops, rituals and ceremonies. With story, ritual, nature, systems constellations and ancestral healing practices I support people and projects to align to purpose, stay whole, connected and moving in the direction of love. 

The mountains and waters of the Cape's South Peninsula are where I nourish my soul accompanied by my beloved dog, Rosemary.
