Mindful, heart-led coaching, teaching and parenting

HeartSmart aims to practically support young children, adolescents and their parents using mindfulness-based concepts in everyday life.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention, with kindness and curiosity, to the present moment.
Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction is a practical course to introduce formal and informal mindfulness practices, which are used to support our response to various stressors. This 8 week course is especially designed for young adults.
These sessions are individually tailored for those who feel they might benefit from something other than a group session.

Testimonials

We have recognised Linda’s expertise in managing teenagers with great flair and passion. She was able to reinstate our daughter’s self-esteem and improved her work ethic. We are forever grateful for this intervention and can highly recommend Linda.
Steve and Zoe van Eyslend
Linda has a natural ability to communicate with young children and teens that ensured my son’s intact self-esteem. Linda is genuine, honest and has a superb sense of humour – put that together with dedication and love and, what can I say – she makes magic. Thank you Linda – you are still very dear to Leon’s and my hearts.
Sue Bosler
I will always be grateful for the care Linda showed in dealing with my son's problems. She surely knows how to handle teenagers!
Sylvia Marin
Without a doubt, Linda is one of the most expansive and supportive educators I have ever met. Not only does her love, tolerance and integrity around teenagers shine through, it positively beamed out towards my family with incalculably positive results.
Tracey Novick
Linda was my daughter’s most inspirational teacher. Seb arrived at Linda with a loss of confidence. What Linda did in a year still amazes and humbles me. She helped Seb gain confidence and self-esteem, she patiently encouraged Seb to be her own person. She really cares about her students and she is such an example of an awesome woman to them. I admire above all, her patience, her faith in people, her compassion, her ability to bring out the best in everyone around her. I would strongly recommend Linda for anything she puts her mind to do.
Hanrie Hill
Linda is one of those very rare, and much needed teachers with a calling, who makes a positive impact on every child’s (and parent’s) life. She genuinely cares about the academic and emotional welfare of every student in her care, and I am yet to come across a difficult situation which she cannot change for the better. Linda has the discernment, compassion, life-skills, and wisdom of a sage!
Nikki Elliott
Linda is the most wise, sincere, loving and inspirational teacher I have met. A profound example to others in this vocation. Leila has excelled in development as an individual and academically.
Shumaya Nerf
Linda managed to find the right ways to get through to my son as an individual. I have absolute faith in her ability to make a great success out of any project she applies her talents to. Thanks Linda.
