Background
Adré is passionate about helping people get emotional healing to enable them to reach their full potential and goals in life. Her love for sport and people moves her to have a holistic view on health fitness and nutrition.
While studying B.A Social work at the University of Stellenbosch, Adré earned pocket money by teaching Aerobics to her fellow students at their residence.
She started her career as a Social worker in Malmesbury in the Western Cape, and simultaneously started a private Aerobics club by renting the church hall and teaching aerobics on a daily basis. She finished her ETA (Exercise Teachers Association) qualification to be a qualified Aerobics and fitness coach at the same time.
With two years’ experience working in generic Social work, problem solving in all fields, she moved to London in the UK to pursue a career in Social work and broaden her horizons.
During her time in London (1996-2004, 2008-2012) gaining experience by working in different fields and London Borough councils – specializing in the field of children & families and adolescents.
With her love of sport still very prevalent she did numerous fitness conventions, while keeping up to date with new technology by attending training sessions in Child protection and the care system in the UK.
During her time living and working in the UK she met her husband and had two children. She registered with the Association of Christian Counselors and started her own private Life style Christian counseling practice in London.
From 2004 to 2015 she had a private practice in Strand, South Africa, moved between UK and the Netherlands, had three kids in different countries, and returned to South Africa in 2015.
In June 2016 Adre started working as a School Social worker and counsellor at Strand High school in the Western Cape – working mainly with adolescents and their families with family and individual counselling, crisis intervention and trauma. Numerous teaching/training opportunities arose in training the personnel of the school as well as speaking engagements in the community.
In 2019 Adré embarked on training as a Neuro Life coach with Perspective training college and qualified as an International Neuro Life coach. She is registered with the International Coaches Register and is registered on their data base. The aim of this was to further qualify herself, not only in dealing with trauma and helping heal the past and coping with the present, but with the aim of helping people reach their optimum potential as human beings so the dreams can become a reality.
In 2020 Adré started her private practice as a Neuro-Life coach, combined with being a therapeutic Social worker.
