MY STORY
The most powerful fruit of my work is the alchemy weaved through all the facets of my life with my life being the living testament to the work I’ve done through my relationships, wealth creation, connection to the land. The foundation of my work and practice rests upon the mystery teachings and initiations that I have received; medicine; ceremonial and ritual magic; elemental healing; counselling; herbalism and plant medicine training, ceremony and teachings.
I currently live on a farm that I own on the edge of the forest along the Garden Route, with my husband and lover, Greg, two boys; Cas and Kojo and a huge tribe of much loved animals, tame and wild. I spend many hours alone in the forest deepening my rewilding practice and am a passionate custodian of the land here. I am an avid devotee of the Great Mystery and live life through the lens of Spirit.
I completed my Bachelor of Business Science at UCT on the Deans Merit list, with my honours in Marketing. Following on from this I paid off my student loan in my first year out of University teaching English in South Korea, before heading off to London where I worked as an Innovation Consultant in one of the worlds leading Innovation firms, specialising in building values based businesses and innovation culture. This work took me across the globe. I then returned to South Africa 3 years later and founded Faithful to Nature at the age of 26. Almost 2 decades on, Faithful to Nature has achieved monumental success in pioneering ethical retail in Africa and in shaping the natural and organic market in Southern Africa.
During this time, I spent 13 years working with a well respected shamanic guide whose work is too diverse to contain in one title. I spent 5 years in an intensive group healing course with her where I started to develop my gift to see into peoples stories and identify where the distortion was coming in. Following on from this, in the past 10 years I was initiated into a Mystery School where I threw myself with complete and utter dedication into a huge array of occult, healing and magical apprenticeships on offer. The most significant work done here was with Qabbala where I did 2 intensive year-long Tree of Life Ascensions. I am currently undergoing very high level training into the occult, medicine initiation (psilocybin specifically), feminine shamanic practices, the feminine oracle arts and much more.
I have during all the time devoted myself to learning many different types of meditation and chanting, having done the Vipassana 10 day silent meditation retreat and many more Bhuddist based meditation retreats. Interspersed with this have been more retreats and workshops than I can count as I passionately explored various types of healing that called out to me. I have also and continue to study with the Jungian Institute of South Africa.
I hold a natural affinity and gift for mirror work, it is a core tenant in my practice and I do guide my clients in this work when applicable. I have also worked with poisonous plants, which are the most masterful teachers of supporting self led shadow work.
I hold a breathwork training certification with the Celtic Breathwork school (registered with the IBF International Breathwork foundation), and incorporate breath into much of my personal and professional work. Breath truly is the unifying tool. Simple, elegant technology that asks for nothing in return. A tool that requires no co-dependency, no “look”, no dogma and no healers. The tool that returns one to their seat of sovereignty as their own healer and their own teacher.
Despite all the truly magnificent teachers I have had the privilege of working with, it must also be noted that integral to my work currently has been the self led initiations where I have taken myself off into the wild to Quest for hours or days on end.
My sons remain my strictest teachers no doubt. My youngest son Kojo is autistic and the healing required in myself to be able to support him on his journey has been profound.
My life has not been a fairy tale or a well scripted linear example of white picket fence living (it never is when one passionately follows their heart) but it has been rich, full, deeply seeped in integrity and saturated with joy! I have navigated loss; life-changing transitions and many levels of initiation. But above all - I have lived from my heart and am fiercely devoted to answering the call of the Great Mother. And it is exactly because of all these levels of initiation that I have experienced that I can stand in front of you deeply embodied in the courage and truth that I wish to impart to you.

“The beauty of the present moment has revealed its magic to me in an unprecedented way. I experienced this profound moment through breath work, guided by Robyn , an incredible teacher and facilitator. It's fascinating how, after years of pursuit without fully grasping it, the essence of being present unfolds naturally, without force or struggle. So, what exactly is this present moment? To me, it's an awakening to immense gratitude, a sensation so intense that it feels as though my heart might burst from my chest and I feel like I unite with everything with the whole universe. This overwhelming yet empowering feeling signifies being deeply immersed in the here and now, to the extent that there's nowhere else for me to go or be, where time just stops together with my thinking and the expansion of my being is beyond words. It embodies freedom yet anchors me firmly to the ground. Indeed, life is beautiful when experienced in such depth.”

“A powerful journey beyond the veil, a highly transformative experience. Working with Robyn has been a deeply instrumental leap forward in my spiritual journey. She has the capacity to guide you to places that you never once thought existed. To truly hold space in a light that has the capacity to show you who you truly are. For me, a single breathwork session turned into an expansive journey toward full embodiment of the divine feminine. In my early days of working with her, she guided me through the mother wound and watched me transition from maiden to mother. During this transition, I would often see her as the mother I never had, guiding me and supporting me, until I developed the tools to find the mother essence deep within self. Her wisdom is powerful and her heart is warm. The journey to the sacred feminine can only be achieved by passing through the deep dark oceans of self. It can be cold and at times a lonely place to be, but I found warmth with Robyn by my side. If you’re willing to put forth the work, you will be rewarded by discovering the gifts deep within yourself. I have no doubt her knowledge and tools will be of tremendous support in your healing journey. I do and always will see her as an incredible teacher and I’m so glad to have her walk beside me.”

“A great friend recommended Robyn to me after I was dealing with a very challenging work crisis. Not only did Robyn help me through the hardest time in my business with growth and expansion but she became a mentor and enabled me step up a level in my vision and confidence. She has an incredible ability to listen completely and really hear whilst accessing a higher, spiritual understanding of the situation and guide you. She combines a spiritual connection with a down to earth approach and deep empathy. It felt natural to reach out to Robyn 6 months after the crisis for more mentoring and this evolved into spiritual guidance beyond just the business. Yet again her same qualities helped me transform myself. She taps in and understands and guides in such an incredible way. I will always recommend Robyn and am so grateful to have found someone so well designed to offer support in the world we live in. She offers just the right guidance in just the right way.”
