About Me

I'm Candice, an ex-superyacht Chief Stew turned Certified Life Coach with a background in holistic wellness. After a decade leading high performing teams in high-pressure environments, I now help people move from overwhelm to aligned action, meaningful goals and sustainable change. My style is calm, compassionate, and practical. We focus on what matters, then build habits that last. I work with individuals seeking purpose, clarity, confidence and better boundaries. Career changers looking for a clear next step, and individuals rebuilding self-trust, healthier relationships and day-to-day discipline.

Coaching with me

Results & Goals

Clients often notice more clarity and confidence, less second-guessing, and clearer direction defined by your values, vision and a roadmap towards your success. We implement practical routines that reduce stress and increase follow-through as well as replace self-doubt with small, consistent, repeatable wins. Clients have found my coaching style to help with stronger communication, healthier boundaries, and self-worth. Together we build keystone habits for energy, productivity, and discipline, leaving you with a renewed sense of purpose and results that feel good to maintain.

How I like to coach

I coach with calm, clarity and momentum. You'll get a judgement-free space, clear goals, and practical steps that fit your real life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. We start by defining what matters most, then translate that into simple, weekly actions and measurable wins. What it feels like: compassionate and steady, with gentle challenge when you're ready. I blend mindset work with habit-design, nervous-system tools, and mindful reflection so change sticks, not only for a week, but for the long run.

Small shifts, applied consistency, create big ripple effects - that's the heart of my coaching.

Professional and life experience

Before coaching, I spent over a decade as a chief stewardess onboard superyachts - leading multi-cultural teams, navigating high-pressure service, and supporting crew wellbeing on the move. That real-world experience with burnout, boundaries, and rapid change shapes my practical, calm approach. I've trained in yoga and mindfulness, studied habit design and nervous system regulation. I draw on my global work-travel to meets clients from all backgrounds with empathy and clarity. Now based in Cape Town, I blend human warmth with structure, so you leave each session grounded, focused and equipped with tools that work in real life.
