About Annette de Bruin
Why I Do What I Do?
Two Distinct Services, One Committed Professional
I’ve been where you are. Whether you’re facing family conflict, navigating major life transitions, or feeling stuck in your personal journey, I understand the emotional complexity you’re experiencing.
My own path through blended family challenges, career changes, and personal struggles led me to discover something powerful: the right support and tools can transform your toughest moments into stepping stones toward the life you truly want.
During my 12 years in senior corporate management, I witnessed something that changed everything – I could see greatness in people that they couldn’t see in themselves. That’s when I knew my calling wasn’t just managing people; it was helping them unlock their full potential and find resolution in their most challenging moments.

Mediation Services
When conflict feels overwhelming, I provide a structured path forward. As someone who’s navigated complex family dynamics firsthand, I won’t judge your situation or push solutions that don’t feel right. Instead, I’ll guide you through a process that puts you back in control – whether you’re dealing with family disputes, workplace conflicts, or co-parenting challenges.
My commitment: You’re getting more than a mediator – you’re getting someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
Forward Focused Life Coaching
When you’re ready to break through what’s holding you back, I help you see the incredible potential you already have inside you. Together, we’ll transform limiting beliefs into empowering truths, discover your authentic purpose, and create the fearless life you’ve always dreamed of using proven techniques.
My reward: Watching you break through barriers, transform pain into power, and live the life you truly deserve.
How I Work?
Available both in-person in Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth and remotely online – because your comfort and convenience matter. Whether you need conflict resolution or personal transformation (or both), I bring the same commitment: helping you find solutions that work for your real life, not just on paper.
