About Melissa Janse wan Rensburg:

Melissa supports leaders and coaches to become more conscious in their daily work and lives so that they can in turn increase the self-awareness of others, and the collective.

Driven by energy leadership, consciousness, gestalt, existential & transactional analysis methodologies; in her work with coaches, she will support you to discover the depths of your potential & consciousness, unlocking doors to personal & professional mastery. Melissa employs Core Energy Coaching, a methodology focused on getting to the root (or “core”) of an individual’s challenges by identifying and shifting inner thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that block a success.

Melissa says: “From this place, they can reduce stress, sustainably connect with their purpose and passion, and experience more fulfilment in all areas of their lives – both personally & professionally. As a result of my background, life experience and divine guidance, I am in the position today where I am partnering with individuals in various ways to help them increase their self-awareness, make changes to who they are being and living life, as well as have an impact on their careers, relationships, and clients.”
