Hi! I am Kirsten Hunneyball, Peer Recovery and Life Coach based in Ballito, KZN. Having lived experience with an eating disorder, ADHD, and trauma, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their empowered selves and navigate life's challenges. I understand that self-improvement and recovery from disordered food and body behaviours is a complicated process and that you will need support every step of the way. It is important for you to have a professional who understands the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual elements that underlie disordered food and body behaviours and who can help you establish a life that better reflects who you are without limiting beliefs and unhelpful coping mechanisms for life’s stressors. Coaching can be a very effective tool in your process, however it is important to note that I am not a therapist or medical professional. My approach is within a coaching framework. I use methodologies such as mindfulness, meditation, nervous system regulation, accountability, somatic embodiment techniques, and spiritual development to help you deal with triggers and challenges. I will also help to equip you with empowering practical tools to utilize on a day-to-day basis so that you can show up to life as your most authentic and best self. Philosophies that align with my value system include that of Intuitive Eating, All Foods Fit, Anti-Diet, HAES, and Bottom-Up approaches to healing. Because recovery from disordered food and body behaviours is complex, and needs to be met on a biopsychosocial level, you might find the need for external support as well. The process of recovery might include dieticians, therapists, medical doctors, support groups, and more depending on your individual needs. If needs be, I will consult and collaborate with any other medical and psychological support systems you have in order to help address you as a whole rather than to isolate any one form of treatment for recovery so that you can move into a culture of lasting recovery. Coaching is not seen as the "be all and end all" of the healing process and your journey may require a multidisciplinary approach. I am happy to refer you out to professionals within my network if you need it. Contact Details Website Facebook Instagram YouTube

When Filters4Spas was founded by Phil Moseley and Gil Gingell in November 2009 replacement spa filter cartridges were expensive, difficult to get hold of and of poor quality. They made a marketing statement that their new filter cartridges, manufactured in Hangzhou China, would be of superior quality, plentiful in supply and readily available at a more realistic price; and today, that statement still stands for Darlly Europe. In June 2011 Filters4Spas became an equitable partner with Hangzhou Darlly Filtration and today that statement still stands for Darlly Europe Limited. Better Filter . . . Better Service . . . Better Price Darlly Europe now handles the logistics, supply, marketing, research and development throughout all 44 European countries in the Pool and Spa market. With over 60,000 units in stock at one time and supplying customers throughout Europe with 5 distribution centres all with a next day delivery available.

My name is Briana and I am inquisitive by nature, an abstract thinker, and a free spirit who demonstrates some of these facets as a thera-coach, content creator, and event facilitator within the wellness, holistic, and mental health world. From moving across the Atlantic from NY to Spain, I understand first hand the mindset needed to trust your bold vision for more while recreating a sense of safety within, especially after past traumas and unhelpful thought patterns. As we age, we tend to prioritise our materialistic objectives in life. Instead of viewing a relationship with ourselves as the main goal to reach. Unable to see that, what makes our goals so tricky to reach is our own internal and external perspectives. A unique outlook so strongly influenced by our unresolved triggers, traumas, and suppressed emotions. Through this realisation, my passion for helping others shifted, toward encouraging the inner work that promotes emotional resilience and empowerment. As a thera-coach, I use my therapeutic knowledge, personal development, and continuous application of new treatments to support ambitious and goal oriented women, to courageously explore and understand their unresolved emotions to succeed in their version of a bold life. Where a combination of therapeutic modalities, breathwork, and somatic experiencing is offered to break down the emotional blocks which keep us stuck. When I am not thera-coaching, I love traveling, going to the beach or on a hike, reading, diving into arts and crafts, and spending quality time with my fur baby and loved ones. I am also human and in the moments where I feel my heavy emotions, I turn to meditating, yoga, or breathwork to support me. Can't wait to connect and guide you on your journey!

WHY I CAN - AND WOULD LOVE - TO HELP YOU Hello! This is the part where I spill my heart out in a positive way… So, what brought me to my work? I’m one of those therapists that has been on their own healing journey. Coming from my fair share of trauma’s I came to understand the after math of doing ‘the work”. I value the results so much that I wanted to share the techniques and workshops to facilitate you on your own journey. Before I did the work on myself, my daily wake up call consisted of self loathing, lack of self worth, shame, fear and no self awareness of my thoughts and emotions. I was basically riddled with PTSD. So, where did my healing journey begin: It started with my Reiki attunement in 2007. Since then I’ve studied and integrated so many different disciplines. I’ve travelled globally doing 500hr yoga teacher training, Neuro linguistic programming, hypnosis, counselling, Reiki levels 1, 2 & 3, meditation, pranayama and the Wim Hof Method teacher training. The Results… self love, self worth and self awareness of my inner world. I now wake up ready for this beautiful thing we call Life.

I have been practicing yoga regularly since 2011. Firstly, to be able to better deal with the pain caused by a rheumatic disease, later to be able to better cope with the high workload at work and the hormonal changes of menopause. My own practice has developed steadily over the last few years. At first I concentrated on physical exercises - today yoga has become a philosophy of life for me in which I have established a balanced, regular practice. This ranges from: - Demanding inversions and arm balances - Slow Vinyasa classes - Regular Yin practice - Yoga Nidra - Meditations and breathing work and much more. In addition to yoga, I enjoy cycling, cooking and baking, and walking the dogs. Contact Details Email: bree@theyogahand.com Website Facebook Instagram
