Who am I and why am I here?

I am a Grief Counselor & Self-care coach.  
My practice is based in Fish Hoek, Kommetjie area in the Southern Peninsula. I see myself as part of the "caring tribe". People are my passion and I love working with people who value maintaining positive, respectful, loving relationships within boundaries of safety.

I love spending time watching the ocean while walking on the beach, reading a good book or article, watching movies and spending time with my children around the table or on my bed.

I have three children between the ages of 16 and 23 and I love them and their partners dearly. Nethaniëlle is the oldest and married to Dwayne. Malan is my middle child and his partner is Beki. Irene, the youngest is still in school and lives with me.
Divorce, death, depression and ADHD have been some of the challenges we have faced as a family, but throughout it all, we continue to value assertive communication, empathy, helpfulness, respect and kindness.

My spirituality has evolved in the following way; I believe that we are created with so much potential for good,  but we often forget what our potential is because life adds layers to our being and we end up struggling to see the light. BUT we have access to the powerful energy source of all good  in order to find our balance again. Our mission on earth is to regain our ability to love/respect ourselves, love/respect others and care for earth's  resources.


I can't wait to meet you in person or online.
Call me on 076 381 3885 or email grobler.karin@gmail.com
You will have to do the work, since you are the ultimate authority on your life, but I will be there all the way to coach, support, encourage and witness your experience.
