AFRICA HAS A LEADING HOLISTIC WELLNESS CONSULTANT and COACH and Holistic Mental Health Practitioner

By Madeleine Pretorius, changing lives in South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and internationally

Madeleine is a seasoned behaviour expert. She works seamlessly with private individuals as well as business leaders, teams across all organisational levels.

A passionate educator and human, Madeleine empowers people to overcome that which does not serve them or that which debilitates them. She an enabler, assisting her clients to overcome and conquer their challenges, enabling them to thrive and succeed.

Madeleine likens this process to that of the life of a caterpillar.
Every transition starts with an end of something dear or a deeply challenging person situation, which could be personal, financial, spiritual or work related.

Like the caterpillar, the person goes within, removes themself from the life that they knew and finds themself in the ‘messy middle’ of this transitional transformation.

In order to disconnect from who or what others think you should be and break-through to who you really, really are… searching for a semblance of purpose, a place of peace, is what  International Peak Performance training is all about.

Transformation and growth through proven coaching methods and techniques, coupled with skills development and alternative ways of being, enable you to break through from the ‘messy middle’ to make the transition into butterfly – a beautiful being with wings to fly – enabling you to live your best life,  free from masks, unwanted emotional baggage and the life script that others were encouraged to write for you. Its time for you, your needs, your authentic story and, most importantly, your transformation.

We have to slow ourselves down enough to hear the thoughts as they run through. We have to get off auto-pilot and become more mindful. You’ll find yourself breaking old cycles, making decisions that align with the life you say you want and feeling more authentically anchored in your own reality, shining your uniquely you light.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You’re playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

Hello 2025! Hello to you all

There are such misconceptions around the term ‘psychotherapy’, often instilling dread and fuelling an unfounded belief that you are somehow flawed.  In her practice, Madeleine focuses on alternative phrases and naming conventions that shed a more positive light on her calling and her role as a ‘holistic wellness consultant’, life and business coach.

Madeleine facilitates individual sessions, workshops and conferences as well as hosting retreats. She is also sought after as a motivational speaker.

Below is how Madeleine has redefined this outdated term psychotherapy and shares, as she sees it, below.
‘Personal Growth Mentoring’

  • Positive psychology coaching;
  • Emotional intelligence development;
  • Transitional Intelligence expertise;
  • Mindful growth guidance;
  • Personal growth guidance;
  • Breaking through to bliss facilitation;
  • Holistic wellness consulting and conferences;
  • Personal transformation coaching;
  • Alternative strategies for wellbeing and conscious living;
  • Conscious living guidance;
  • Empowerment therapy;
  • Life transition support;
  • Personalised coaching and support;
  • Podcasts – Voices of Africa (stories and testimonies).

.
Madeleine also finds the term counselling a total misnomer and embraces the term ‘wellness navigation’, this being far more aligned with both her counselling and mentoring styles.
