- Prof. Klaus von Pressentin, Family Physician

“I thought that you would give me all of the answers to the questions I had. Instead, you challenged and guided me to get to most of the answers myself. We discussed the reality of burnout in health care workers and the dangers thereof. More importantly, I was able to make practical changes to combat this challenge. which included recognising burnout and actively dealing with it. I found that talking to loved ones and colleagues about this helped immensely in this regard. I also found that passion combats burnout.”

- Dr Daniel Hattingh, Family Physician

“The impact that these coaching sessions have had on my self-awareness, self-acceptance and the feeling of connectedness to others is invaluable. Personality traits I once deemed as weaknesses, have become strengths on an ever-changing continuum as I grow and become more tolerable of my uniqueness.”

- Dr. Celeste Richards, Family Physician

“I thought I had been quite fine and coping generally well. Coaching with Prof. Hoffie Conradie has shown me that coping does not need to be merely surviving the onslaughts of daily life, but that coping can be thriving if we react to these onslaughts in a healthy manner. The greatest lesson I have learned is self-compassion and seeing myself as an entity that I need to care for as I continuously care for others as a doctor.”

- Dr. Marisa Crous, Family Physician
