Meet Liesl
Great to meet you!
I’m Liesl
a professionally trained health and wellness coach and social worker with over 25 years of experience helping others thrive. I help stressed health professionals reconnect with their energy, calm, and joy, guiding them back toward balance and vitality—body, mind, and spirit.
I understand the toll it can take to give so much of yourself to others. Burnout, compassion fatigue, and the feeling of being depleted or getting sick frequently, can creep in, even when you’re deeply passionate about your work. My mission is to help those who care for others rediscover their own energy and wellness. I’m dedicated to liberating self-care—helping you create space to nourish yourself, so you can show up fully in life.
I faced grief, glandular fever and mild depression early in my career, later hormonal weight struggles, and the ups and downs of peri-menopause. A desire for holistic health fueled my research and learning. I rebuilt after my home and farm burned down and made the difficult choice to leave my therapeutic ranch—the realization of a lifelong dream—when I chose to get divorced. I also embraced new love and the surprises of motherhood in my 40’s and spent several years as a full-time mom. Now 50, I love being strong, healthy and full of bounce.
Nature has always been my greatest inspiration and safe space. Time spent outdoors, especially with horses, has shown me how to slow down, trust in life’s rhythms, and embrace the beauty of simply being. These are lessons I love to share, helping my clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and sense of self.
When we work together, you’ll have someone enthusiastically in your corner—listening without judgment, celebrating your wins, and offering steady support when motivation dips or obstacles arise. Whether you’re navigating stress, chronic illness, or simply feeling stuck, I’ll help you reconnect with what matters most and create transformation.
If you’re ready to care for yourself as deeply as you care for others, I’d be honoured to walk this journey with you.

Souls Say This!
Since our 4 coaching sessions together, I have a more positive mind-set, I have more energy, I feel more grounded and calm, I have found joy in movement, I have a healthier relationship with food, I have clearer skin and I have even lost a little weight. With her dedication, knowledge and passion for holistic wellness, Liesl educated and empowered me with clarity and guidance that felt both inspiring and achievable, where she celebrated my successes, big and small, every step of the way! Thank you for helping me become the best version of myself.

In my Equine Facilitated Counselling and support sessions with Liesl and her sacred soul herd, I shall never forget the deeply and incredibly significant personal and professional growth and learning. Wildly significant and hugely impactful on my journey of cathartic release, holding space, containment and experientially solution focused. I shall never forget and it continues to impact on my daily life.

I’ve loved every minute of this weekend (retreat). It has been such a joy, every aspect of what we’ve shared together has just been rich and warm and exciting and expansive and I just feel grateful. And I feel abundant and I feel blessed and I thank you both. And I’ve done some retreats and I’ve sat in some couches but you are two very special human beings (Kirsten & Liesl), you give so much of yourselves and it’s just gold dust. It just lands and it feels so authentic and incredibly powerful. Please continue doing what you are doing, it makes a big difference in people’s lives.
