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!

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. ☕

🌟 Things That Will Actually Change Your Life
Start small. Stay consistent. Feel the shift.

💧 Drink more water
Hydration fuels your energy, focus, and mood.

🙏 Practice gratitude daily
Notice one thing you’re thankful for each day.

😂 Laugh more
Find moments of joy—your body and mind will thank you.

🌿 Get outside
Fresh air and sunlight can transform your mood and energy.

❤️ Stay connected to loved ones
Meaningful connections are powerful for long-term wellbeing.

🧠 Pick one strength move
Squats, bicep curls, or lunges—2 sets of 8–12 reps. Simple. Strong. Done.

🥗 Add one anti-inflammatory food
Leafy greens, berries, or oily fish—your muscles and bones will love you for it.

🌙 Set a digital curfew
30 minutes before bed: screens off, lights low, gentle stretch. Sleep upgrade incoming.

🚶‍♀️ Move after your biggest meal
Just 10 minutes. A walk is perfect. Your metabolism will love it.

🪑 Quick self-check
Can you sit and stand from a chair—no hands?
✅ Yes? You’re strong.
🛠️ No? Make it your goal this week.

Have an amazing weekend—one small habit at a time. 🌟

Your gut and brain? They’re in constant conversation.
And it’s not small talk.

💬 About 90% of your serotonin — the stuff that fuels your mood, focus, and resilience — is made in the gut.

So… what are you feeding your brain?
🌱 When you nourish your microbiome, you’re not just helping digestion —
you’re supporting your mental health too

It’s so easy to fall into autopilot.

Wake up. Work. Scroll. Sleep. Repeat.

But Hailey? She hit pause.

She asked herself, “What actually makes me feel alive?”

Then she did more of that!

Hi, I’m Vasti 🌸

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting the same question:
“So… what do you actually do?”

I’m a Health and Wellbeing Consultant — just a regular person with a deep passion for helping others feel happy, healthy, and whole.

I support people who want to become the best version of themselves — physically, mentally, emotionally, and personally.

I work with professionals, parents, leaders, and anyone navigating change, challenge, or burnout.

Because we weren’t meant to just get through the week.
We’re meant to thrive — in our health, work, relationships, and in how we feel about life.

Right now, many of my clients are:
🌱 Trying to figure out what they truly want
💭 Feeling stuck or emotionally drained
🔥 Experiencing burnout — at work or at home
💔 Navigating loss, heartbreak, or personal change

If that sounds like you — you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to stay there.

Sometimes, you just need a coach — someone who listens without judgment, helps you reflect, and supports you in finding clarity and direction.

It’s not always about therapy.
Sometimes it’s simply about having space to think, feel supported, and take your next step.

If that resonates with you, I’d love to connect. ☕
Send me a WhatsApp or message me here to book a free 30-minute coffee chat — no pressure, just an honest conversation to see if I can support you on your journey.

I’d love to hear your story. 💚

Repetition rewires your brain — for better or worse.

Neuroplasticity doesn’t judge. It just builds whatever you practice most.

So if you constantly repeat stress, self-doubt, or distraction… your brain gets really good at it.

But if you repeat focus, gratitude, movement, learning — that becomes your default wiring.

Your habits are shaping your brain. Choose wisely.

Your muscles are more than strength — they’re a built-in pharmacy.

Every time you move, you release myokines — aka hope molecules — natural antidepressants that boost mood, focus, and resilience.

🧠 Movement grows your brain, especially in areas tied to memory and stress.

No gym needed:
✔️ Squats while the kettle boils
✔️ Calf raises while brushing teeth
✔️ Take the stairs
✔️ Sit less, move more

As Dr. Kelly McGonigal says:
"Your muscles are like a pharmacy — and movement is the key."

Every step builds mental strength.

Move your body. Heal your mind

Your brain LOVES a plot twist.

Every time you try something new, your neurons light up like fireworks—strengthening memory, boosting focus, and keeping your mind razor-sharp.

Challenge, curiosity, and learning? They're brain fertilizer.

But when life gets too predictable, those circuits snooze... and so does your mental edge.

So shake things up. Explore. Learn. Surprise your brain—it’ll thank you.

🌸 Happy Women’s Day! 🌸

This day is all about celebrating us—our strength, our hustle, and everything that makes us us! 🙌🏼

Let’s not forget: taking care of ourselves is one of the best ways to keep showing up strong. 🌱 It is all about the little things—like eating foods that nourish us, moving our bodies in ways that feel good, getting enough rest, and staying connected with those who lift us up. 💖

So, this Women’s Day, let’s commit to:
💃 Moving in ways that make us feel amazing
🥗 Choosing foods that fuel us
🧘🏽‍♀️ Taking time to relax and recharge
💬 Surrounding ourselves with good vibes and good people

Because when we take care of ourselves, we can show up for everyone else even better. 💪🏼
