Summary Profile 

Annabé is a Master Certified Coach (MCC), Certified Sage‑ing® Leader (CSL), and former healthcare leader with more than 40 years of experience supporting individuals and teams through profound transitions. Her career began in frontline healthcare, where she built and scaled chronic‑disease programs, launched an HIV/AIDS antiretroviral service that grew from 15 to 200 patients in two years, and supported multidisciplinary teams through education, mentoring, and well‑being practices.

​

Her coaching blends somatic practices, mindful movement, breathwork, trauma‑informed mindfulness, and Solution‑Focused clarity to help clients regulate the nervous system, dissolve stress, relieve pain, and move decisively toward what matters most. She works at the intersection of health, identity, ageing, and purpose — supporting clients navigating chronic illness, burnout, trauma recovery, life‑stage transitions, and legacy work.

Annabé captures her philosophy by saying, “I love working with clients who desire to move forward in line with their true selves and who are open to developing an authentic partnership.” This spirit of partnership, presence, and deep respect is the foundation of her coaching.

 

Her Body Reclaim framework — developed over years of practice — integrates somatic awareness, trauma‑sensitive mindfulness, and Solution‑Focused methods to help clients reconnect with agency, reduce overwhelm, and restore well‑being. She also brings a futures‑thinking lens to her work, helping clients imagine and design future‑ready paths aligned with their strengths and values.

​

Her coaching spans executives, caregivers, older adults, healthcare professionals, and teams across South Africa, Europe, the U.S., and Asia. She is known for her warm, culturally attuned presence and her ability to walk alongside clients through life’s most meaningful shifts.

​

Representative coaching experience includes:

• Supporting leaders and individuals navigating chronic illness, cancer survivorship, trauma recovery, and burnout through her Body Reclaim somatic framework

• Facilitating team and group coaching that strengthens self‑leadership, resolves conflict, and builds collaboration

Annabé brings a wise, grounded, and deeply compassionate presence to her coaching — empowering clients to step into lives filled with purpose, clarity, and quiet joy.
