WHY I STAND OUT FROM OTHERS

My programs & interventions are practical, real-life and adaptable. And I stick by your side for as long as you need me to!
I am not interested in your pain and failures, I have my own. What I am interested in is how you will turn them to joy and success, and I’ll teach you how!
I am part of a group and a community of thriving people who already enjoy healthy living that is drug free. Just do what we do!
I am sensitive to the previously disadvantaged and black South African experience. My work and the understanding that I have is personal and self-determined. We do not fail!
I know what I am talking about. I have been there and I still am, just differently and in a meaningful way. (I know how to fuck shit up and I know how to undo that)
I design my interventions to suit different people’s challenges, different races, ages, sexes, creeds and even stereotypes. As long as you want what we have, you can have it!
