Meet the Team
Cally
Cally was born in South Africa and spent many family holidays visiting and enjoying the magic and splendour of the African bush. The bush ranks as her top soulful life experience. Combining her passions of travel, adventure, the bush, and personal growth she created the Indlovu Coaching Retreat.
Cally is a Certified Master Life Coach with Martha Beck, and a Certified Professional Coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF). She is a student of Byron Katie’s work.
Cally spent two decades working for organisations on the ‘people’ side of transformational change programs. She is inspired by human potential and the art of transformation. She now runs her own private coaching business and supports her clients to create and navigate big changes and live with more meaning, joy, freedom, impact, and ease.
When not working in her business she enjoys being with family and friends in nature, travelling, good coffee, campfires and great conversation. Her greatest joy comes from being a mom and watching her two young adult children forge their own paths in the world.
Cally has travelled and worked around the world having lived in South Africa, Canada, USA, Europe, and the UK.
