Life and Leadership Coaching
You can’t lead others well if you’re disconnected from yourself.
Hi, I’m Ankia — a coach for individuals and leaders who are done with surface-level living.
You won’t find cookie-cutter leadership formulas here.
What you will find is a safe, honest space to do the inner work — the kind that brings lasting clarity, courage, and freedom.
Because until you confront the patterns, the pressure, and the stories you’ve learned to carry...
you’ll keep leading from survival — not strength.
The noise, the pressure, the need to hold it all together — it adds up.
But leadership isn’t about striving harder. It’s about coming home to who you are.
Together, we’ll slow things down so you can:
-
Reconnect with the real you — beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations
-
Build emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-trust
-
Break free from the patterns that keep you stuck or small
-
Lead from a place of wholeness, not hidden insecurity
-
Create space for freedom — in your mind, your relationships, and your work
This isn’t just about becoming a “better leader.”
It’s about becoming a truer one.
Whether you’re a team leader, business owner, or someone simply craving more alignment — this is where the real transformation begins.
Start with you.

Nie net het Ankia my gehelp om weer in myself te glo nie, maar ook om weer vir myself op te staan en my ware identiteit te ontdek. Elke opbouende aktiwiteit, elke motiveringspraatjie, elke lag en train word met soveel empatie benader en hanteer. Al wat ek kan sê, is dankie.

Before working with Ankia, my calendar was basically a monument to everyone else’s needs. I said yes to everything and everyone, and the only person I never made time for was me. Ankia helped change that—without any cheesy pep talks or pressure. Her coaching style is the perfect mix of straight talk, encouragement, and the occasional “let’s be real” moment that makes you laugh, think and in my case sometimes cry a little. She helped me actually think about me, something I feel like I've never done, set boundaries (like, real ones), stop apologising for having needs, and actually start focusing on my own goals. Now I’m showing up with more clarity, energy, and confidence—and I’m not constantly running on empty. Finally I have the time to figure out what I actually want and need out of life. I'm not quite done yet, but I'm excited for what is to come! If you’re stuck in the people-pleasing spiral and need someone who’ll guide you out with wisdom, warmth, and a little sass—Ankia’s your person. Highly recommend!
