PRESERVING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY, convert your boxes of printed photograph memories into coffee table books.

I have been a photographer since 1998, and over the years I’ve come to understand that photographs are never just images.

They are emotional anchors.

They hold the quiet details of our lives the people we loved, the homes we lived in, the seasons we moved through.
Many of these moments live only in printed photographs tucked away in albums, boxes, or drawers. As time passes, paper fades, colours shift, and memories risk being forgotten.

Digitising these photographs is not about replacing the original;
it is about protecting it.
It is about ensuring that the stories captured decades ago are still accessible, still visible, and still alive.

Turning these digitised memories into a coffee table book transforms them into something meaningful and intentional. It creates a space where families can sit together, turn pages, and reconnect with their shared history.

A coffee table book is not stored away it is lived with, spoken about, and passed down.

As a photographer, I feel a deep responsibility to preserve these memories with care and respect.

Each photograph is a once-off moment that will never exist again in the same way. Looking after photographs is an act of love for those who came before us and for those who will come after.

When we preserve photographs, we preserve identity, belonging, and connection.

These images become gifts for future generations, reminding them where they come from and the lives that shaped theirs.

Various options available.

TRE® (Trauma & Tension Release Exercises) is a body-based practice that prioritises safety and choice.

In TRE® sessions, we sometimes use supportive tools like balls to take the place of touch interventions, allowing the nervous system to settle, regulate, and release at its own pace.

No forcing. No hands-on adjustment. Just respectful, contained support.

This approach is especially supportive for those who are touch-sensitive, highly stressed, or navigating trauma recovery.

Stress doesn’t just live in the mind — it settles in the body.

A stiff neck, tight shoulders, aching back are signs of stored tension.

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) gently activates natural shaking to release deep stress, restore mobility, and help your nervous system feel safe again.

Change Is the Only Constant

Walking through the centre of Cape Town’s CBD, I found myself pausing in front of an old building wrapped in scaffolding.
Dust in the air, walls stripped back to their bones, workers steadily chipping away at what once was.

It struck me how familiar that scene felt how closely it mirrored the quiet renovations happening within my own life.

Sometimes the structures we’ve relied on, the identities we’ve built to keep us safe, the routines that kept us comfortable reach a point where they no longer fit.

They become too small, too outdated, too heavy to carry forward. And life, in its persistent flow, gently or forcefully nudges us toward a revamp of our own.

What we rarely remember is that this process doesn’t pause the rest of the world. People still rush past on their way to meetings. Taxis hoot. Conversations float through the air.

Everyone is navigating their own internal construction site patching cracks, knocking out old walls, reinforcing foundations, or letting more light in where it’s been needed for years.
And just like any renovation, it’s messy. Sometimes frustrating.

Other times unexpectedly enlightening. But beneath all that dust is progress. Real progress.

The key is consistency. Discipline. Persistence. Showing up for your own becoming, even on the days when you feel like nothing is shifting, even on the days you realise that what you are busy changing and revamping has gone skew and you break it down just to start rebuilding again, nothing you do is in vain.

Every interaction fleeting or lasting adds a brick to your future structure.

Every door that closes reroutes you toward a new threshold. Every moment of discomfort is teaching you patience, kindness, compassion, grace.

All of it prepares you for something sturdier, truer, more aligned with who you’re becoming.

Change is uncomfortable, yes. But it is also sacred.

Because in the breaking down, the clearing out, the rebuilding… something softer yet stronger emerge. Something that has been waiting inside you for years, finally stepping forward.

6 Week TRE Program for Holiday Maintenance before 2026.
Discharging Fight-or-flight.

Why Your Body Must Release Before It Can Relax
Before you can take a truly deep, settling breath, your body often needs something more fundamental to discharge the survival energy driving your fight-or-flight response.

When adrenaline and cortisol surge, the nervous system shifts into protection mode. Muscles tense, breathing becomes shallow, and the brain prioritises safety over reflection. In this state, “just sit still and calm down” isn’t only unhelpful it’s biologically unrealistic.

When adrenaline is high, the prefrontal cortex (your rational, regulating brain) goes partly offline. Your body is wired to move, shake, and mobilise.

This is why trauma-release exercises and somatic practices can be so powerful: they help the body complete the stress cycle, releasing trapped energy instead of storing it.

Only after this discharge can the parasympathetic nervous system your rest-and-digest state begin to settle your breath and restore a sense of control.

Asking someone in a heightened state to concentrate, stay still, or “breathe deeply” often backfires. Stillness can feel threatening to a system primed to react.

Movement-based trauma release offers a safe pathway toward regulation by meeting the body where it is, rather than where we think it should be.

This is also why facilitated sessions matter, especially at the beginning. Working with a trained practitioner for around six guided sessions helps you understand your body’s signals, learn safe boundaries, and build confidence in the process.

Facilitation ensures you don’t push too hard, bypass sensations, or activate more than you can handle. Once your nervous system has learned the pattern of release and repair, practicing on your own becomes not only easier, but far more effective.

🎄 A Christmas Colouring Countdown With a Purpose 🎄
25 Days. 25 Christmas Trees. 25 Moments of Joy.

This December, I’m inviting you to join me in something simple… yet incredibly meaningful.

I’ve created a 25-day Christmas Tree Colouring Book — 25 gentle, simplistic tree designs to colour, one for each day from the 1st of December to Christmas.

But this isn’t just a colouring book.
It’s a kindness project.
A calm moment in a busy world.
A way to feel connected, even when family is far.

For R50 (or whatever you’re able to contribute), you’ll receive the printable colouring book — and together, we’ll create something beautiful.

Over Christmas, I’ll be visiting a local institution to spend time with people who may feel forgotten this time of year.
I’ll sit with them.
Colour with them.
Share small treats.
And hand out the Christmas Tree cards that we create.

✨ When you get this colouring book, you’re not just colouring.
You’re giving joy.
You’re giving presence.
You’re giving a moment of human connection to someone who needs it.

❤️ WHY THIS MATTERS

✨ It brings calm and mindfulness in a hectic season
✨ It sparks creativity and childlike joy
✨ It’s affordable and accessible for every family
✨ It becomes a yearly tradition of kindness
✨ It helps someone feel seen, valued, and remembered

📩 If you’d like to be part of this JOY project:

May this season remind us that the smallest acts of love often make the biggest difference.
