My Story
I know how it feels to not know where you belong or who you are. To feel a longing inside but you are not sure for what. When I was 25 years old I made a decision to do whatever it takes to come to a point where I am comfortable and content with who I am and what I am doing.
What a journey it has been.
My personal journey with StrengthsFinder® started in 2008 when I did the online assessment. It really changed the way I saw myself and the world around me. I received informal training to be a facilitator through an accredited StrengthsFinder Coach at our church and did formal training in 2014 through African Mosaic. My journey with Integrative Enneagram started in 2018, when I did the online assessment in order for a friend to get her accreditation as an Enneagram Practitioner. I loved it so much that I decided to do the training myself. So in 2019 I completed Level 1 Certification (for individuals) and Level 2 Certification (for teams) training through Integrative9 Enneagram Solutions.
When you sign up for such a great commitment, I realised that there is no end, only surprises and a lot of detours. I can honestly say that it has been the most interesting and most fulfilling decade (and a bit) ever since my commitment to this journey. And I can recommend it to anyone. I was so inspired by my own journey and in awe how many of my relationships have developed through it, that I am now committing myself to your journey of self-exploration.
Story of 'bläsəm'
‘bläsəm’is the phonetic spelling of blossom. The idea came one evening as I was playing with ideas about flowers. I’m not a flower type of girl, but my daughter is, and she has taught me so much about life and colour, and I love new spring blossoms. So I played around in ‘Google Translate’ and the word ‘bläsəm’ came up. It spoke to me right away. Being Afrikaans, it looked just like ‘asem’, which means breath. And I tried to pronounce it also like the word ‘asem’.
Breath is such a good description of life.
If you look at my brand, I want you to become aware of your breath, how much it matters and how much life it can give others if you are willing to step into your true self, your full potential, your own life.
Just breathe....
