Dr Vasti Nortjé - Health and Wellbeing Consultant

Dr Vasti Nortjé - Health and Wellbeing Consultant Empowering busy individuals to transform their lives from the inside out. Hey, I am Dr Vasti Nortje, Health & Wellbeing Consultant.

My passion is to empower people who are stressed and exhausted by their circumstances. I help them utilize their strengths to enable them to make simple, sustainable choices and support them in cultivating overall health and wellbeing. My educational journey started when I studied social work. After a few years of working at Badisa, I decided to spread my wings and join the corporate sector. During this time, I obtained my master's degree in social work. While working in the corporate world, I witnessed how the burden of stress influences so many people, and in different working environments. We know that too much stress can have a negative impact on the body and that it can make us more susceptible to all kinds of illnesses, from the common cold & flu to life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Because many researchers only focused on how to manage stress, it motivated me to do my doctoral studies on the prevention of stress in the workplace, because I believe that everyone deserves to thrive. This is when my focus shifted and I decided that I no longer wanted to simply put a band-aid on a problem and hope it goes away. I realized that what I really wanted was to help people create healthy, sustainable habits that will encourage a happy and healthy life. After attending an arts therapy workshop, a fellow student (with the same bizarre love for learning), convinced me to do another master's degree in positive psychology. I decided to focus my studies on the characteristics and behaviours of couples in fulfilling marriages. I did my research on married couples' perceptions of relational stress and what they believe to be important for a committed and lasting relationship. During lockdown, I struggled with my health and after paying a fortune to different doctors and specialists, I finally met with a health coach who taught me how to nourish my body in a way that would ultimately teach me how to heal myself. That motivated me to complete a certified Life and Health coach course, and I learned that by making only a few easy changes, you can create a lifelong transformation. Through my studies, research and personal experiences I gained and developed a wealth of integrative knowledge on managing stress, cultivating fulfilling relationships, good nutrition and establishing healthy habits to help people unleash their full potential. Stick around and follow my journey!

Lately I’ve been noticing how many people are quietly exhausted.
Not in a dramatic, everything-is-falling-apart way — but the slow, constant kind.
The kind where you’re functioning, showing up, doing what needs to be done…
while your own wellbeing keeps getting pushed to “later”.

I created Nourish. Heal. Thrive for people who want to feel better,
but don’t have the energy for another overhaul, plan, or set of rules.

This is a 4-week, personalised 1:1 program focused on small, realistic changes —
the kind that actually fit into real life.
No pressure. No perfection. Just steady, supported progress.

✨ 4 x 45-minute sessions
✨ Online or in person
✨ Gentle accountability and practical tools

Investment:
Individual sessions from R700
4-session package from R2800 (10% discount if paid in full)

If this resonates, you’re welcome to send me a DM or comment “NOURISH” 🤍
We can have a no-pressure chat and see if it feels like the right fit.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NEW food pyramid! 👏

This one flips the script 👀

🥩 Protein takes centre stage – think eggs, fish, meat, beans, dairy
🥦🍓 Fruits & veggies stay essential (colour = nutrients!)
🥑 Healthy fats are in – olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocados
🌾 Whole grains move to a supporting role (quality over quantity)
🚫 Ultra-processed foods & added sugar? Less applause, please

✨ The takeaway: Eat real, whole, nutrient-dense foods most of the time.

Your body will thank you 💚

As we prepare to close out another year and step into a season of rest, connection, and celebration, I want to take a moment to acknowledge you — your resilience, your effort, and every small step you’ve taken to care for your health and wellbeing.

This time of year can be both beautiful and overwhelming. If you’re feeling stressed, exhausted, or simply doing your best to keep everything together, please know you’re not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and science-based support.

My mission remains the same:
to equip you with the tools, structure, and confidence you need to thrive — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Whether you’re rebuilding energy, improving nutrition or sleep, or seeking support and accountability through life’s challenges, I’m here to help you reconnect with your wellbeing — one step, one choice, one moment at a time.

As we move into a new year, I truly look forward to continuing this journey together. Let’s slow down, breathe deeply, and honour this season for what it is — a chance to reset, reflect, and reignite hope.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas, a restorative break, and a new year filled with clarity, purpose, and possibility.

And when you’re ready, let’s grab that coffee and take the first step toward better health and wellbeing — together. 🤍☕️

Wrapped up the year with some much-needed pampering and great company! 💆‍♀️✨ René Fourie and I celebrated our year-end function with a relaxing spa day — the perfect blend of team bonding, reflection, and recharging for the year ahead. Grateful for the work, the growth, and the people who make the journey meaningful.

Feeling like your “battery low” warning’s been flashing for weeks? 🔋

Between work, family, and just trying to keep up, it’s no wonder you’re running on fumes.

Here’s your reminder: it’s okay to pause.
Pop in for a chat — or just a quiet cuppa. Kick off your shoes, sink into the comfiest couch (yes, it’s that comfy 😌), and take a moment to just breathe.

No judgment. Just good vibes, honest conversation, and space to reset.

Together, we’ll untangle the stress, refill your cup, and help you find that spark again. ✨

You don’t have to do it all alone — sometimes, a little support makes all the difference. 🌿

Drop a 🌿 in the comments if you're ready to refill your cup - or DM me to book a chat! I'll pop the kettle on in the meantime. ☕
