Health, Wellness and Mindset Coaching
I'm Daneil, a health scientist and certified coach. I look at the whole picture of you, physical and mental, helping you achieve your goals or work on challenges, all while getting to know yourself better along the way.
Trained in the science. Focused on the whole person.
My background is in exercise science and human biology. I spent years in the lab and lecture hall studying how the body works and adapts, and what drives health.
I take a zoomed-out approach when working with individuals: we look at all the physical and mental factors influencing your lifestyle and what you'd like to achieve.
Some people come to me wanting a practical plan, like getting from the couch to their first 5K run. Others want to understand why they keep getting in their own way, or why they feel anxious or stuck. Most want a bit of both, and that's exactly where I like to work.
Three areas
You don't need to pick an area. We start wherever you are and build from there.
Movement and fitness
Structured, realistic plans built around your life and your body. From a first couch-to-5K running programme to getting back into exercise after a break.
Wellness and routines
Guidance on the everyday foundations: sleep, energy, eating well and daily structure, turned into habits that actually last.
Mindset and your inner world
Getting clear on what you value and want, and understanding the patterns that drive your choices. I help you find clarity on your goals and work through challenges.
How to start
A free 20–30 minute call
We talk about where you are, where you'd like to be, and whether I'm the right person to help. No pressure, we just see if it's the right fit.
Your plan
Together we set goals that matter to you and choose the right format, whether that's a focused programme or ongoing coaching.
Regular sessions
We meet in person in Cape Town or online.
From people I've worked with
I recommend this for everyone. I found Daneil's coaching really eye opening to behaviours and habits that I did not notice were clashing with the goals and values I had in life. Daneil really helped pinpointing the obstacles I had set up for myself as ways to feed my comfort. I have gained more confidence and self-belief after doing the work with her and I have continued to use the tools I gained in my daily life.
