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!

The past few weeks have been such a rollercoaster — setting up my new office and welcoming new clients. My heart feels so full, but my body is gently reminding me to pause 🌸✨

I’m taking a few days to slow down, refill my cup, and get ready for the next exciting chapter — I’ll share more about that soon 🌿💛

And maybe this is a little reminder for you too… as the year winds down and the tiredness sets in, it’s okay to step back, rest, and give yourself the care you need. 🌸

I know a lot of women live for shopping...but for me? It's a glamorous form of suffering. If I could outsource it to a shopping fairy, I totally would.

That said, I'm working on something super exciting behind the scenes. Details coming soon - but first I've got to grab a few things to bring the vision to life.

Cue me, sitting on the floor of a retail store, surrounded by options, questioning every life decision.🫣 Too many choices, not enough coffee.

Let's do this 👊🏻 🛍️🛒🎁

So, this Women’s Day, let’s commit to:
💃 Moving in ways that make us feel amazing
🥗 Choosing foods that fuel us
