My life journey
I have always been curious about how people live, how they feel about their lives, how they run their businesses and what they need to feel a sense of belonging, satisfaction and joy. To find out, I started reading as many books as I could get my hands on. I also knew from an early age that I wanted to be financially independent and have my own business.
My life journey has taken me down many paths. Some have been challenging and I often felt alone and overwhelmed with nobody to turn to.
And yes, there were joyful times and certainly a lot of learning professionally and personally, but it took many years and some really tough times to build a life I consider worth having and a business satisfying to me and of value to others.
I longed for someone to think things through with and help me find the clarity, confidence and direction I lacked.
When I found a way to do that, it changed everything!
Not instantaneously but over time.
Piece by piece I took a good look at my business and my life and built on what was working and changed what didn’t.
As a qualified Time-To-Think coach, this is what I offer you:
I will be your partner, sounding board, mentor, champion and thinking partner in your process to build a life and a business you consider worth having, filled with joy and satisfaction, uniquely yours, with clarity, confidence and direction.
Because in my heart I know it’s possible and it’s worth it!
A thank you will never suffice for how I feel about being in sessions with Vera last year!
I worked with Vera weekly for weight loss. I have now reached my goal weight and I feel fabulous and above all proud of myself for making this change. I learnt so much about myself and my thinking patterns. I found that I could change habits and create a new version of myself.

This is me in my life
A caring member of my German and South African communities, my family and my extraordinary friends – all are essential for my sense of belonging.
A vegan – being vegan and living sustainably is my expression of my deep love for all animals and the earth.
A hiker and walker – hiking and walking in beautiful landscapes invigorates and exhilarates me and helps hugely to clear my mind whilst chatting to my fellow Walkie Talkies!
A passionate dancer (Bachata is my favourite at the moment) – there is nothing like it to be in the moment!
A worrier – I tend to worry about the future a little too much and had to learn to find ways to manage this so that it doesn’t paralyse me.
A reader of the news, fiction and non-fiction – recent favourites are A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, The Course of Love by Alain de Botton and The Fire Portrait by Barbara Mutch.
