Hi! I'm Yvette
I grew up living in the spaces between cultures, on the edges, holding opposites.
Born during Apartheid to white South African parents, my father worked as a diplomat for the government, while my mother actively critiqued it.
Growing up between cultures straddling divergent ideologies, I quickly learned that rules for “right and wrong” behavior depended on whose perspective you took and which culture you inhabited.
This began my deeper search for universal principles that transcend and include diversity and the rich variety of human expression on our planet.
I’ve been searching for what’s at the essence of being human (and what it takes for us to live in peace together without losing our individuality) for as long as I can remember.

Healthier Relationships
Discover communication strategies that create genuine connections and drive meaningful outcomes, both for individuals and teams.
"You are inherently good."
Change the relationship with yourself
Learn to recognize your internal narratives and patterns. We begin with ourselves, transforming a legacy of self-doubt, self-sabotage and self-judgment into self-confidence, self-trust and self-compassion.
"You are part of the whole."
Change Your relationship with others
As we heal the spaces within ourselves, our relationships also change. Together, we work on transforming power-struggles into collaboration, conflict into intimacy and greater trust and disconnection into connection.
"You make a difference."
Change Your relationship with meaning & purpose
Having a clear connection to your sense of meaning and purpose is integral to your well-being. Let’s reconnect with your inner authority and wisdom so that you can make a meaningful difference in the world.
"Being in Yvette’s community opened possibilities I didn’t know existed. I’m learning to track my feelings, honor my body, and meet myself with curiosity. Places I thought I’d always be stuck are finally shifting."
