About Maggie Naidoo:

I am a 47yr old, widowed mum of 2 children. My son, Prenellan, and daughter Dharusha.

As a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-linguistics Programming), Time Line Therapy, Life Coach, Hypnotherapy, Trainer, Teacher, Speaker, Senior Professional Nurse of 29 years, in private practice. My career choices were steered in the total focus and direction of helping and healing.

Life was tough growing up. So many negative emotions, countless limiting beliefs circled my mind daily, constantly.

Feelings of depression, anxiety, sadness, guilt, and many more led to depression, isolation and anger.

There were days I did a lot of pretending. The ‘Fake it till you make it ‘rule applied. I had a fair amount friends, but more on the sports field. This is where I excelled the most. I envied the girls at school. They were the “elite” ones, cars, money, the handsome guys… they had it all. And here I was torn, rejected and afraid, never having confidence, always feeling not good enough and unworthy.

My story began at the tender age of around 4yrs old …. I was awakened by cold hands on me, pressing me to the bed. I remember trying to scream and there was not a squeak of sound came out of my throat, I couldn’t get up and I reached, and reached for my brother next to me, my little hands couldn’t stretched out anymore. There were other events that destroyed my peace of mind.

It is sad when our elders are too afraid to do the right thing to perpetrators for the fear of embarrassment, being stigmatized, “Loosing face “with family and colleagues.

There is a lot that transpired through my journey, too much to put on this letter, therefore will keep it brief.

Growing up not knowing what to do, how to overcome my feelings, etc. I decided that I need help, also for me to continue to help others, then I myself will need to change my mindset.

My story has created a burning passion within myself to assist others become better people, by giving them the tools to facilitate the services and connect with many more.

I pushed forward, despite the circumstances, to achieve all that I can be, do or have and build a life as a single mum for my kids.

I have forgiven those that hurt me. Along my path I had encountered many divinely special people that contributed towards my transformation.

 Am an achiever, I am strong, I am capable, I am more than worthy and good enough. I am limitless and life a life of purpose. I am an instrument of change for many

Own who you are, just be authentically you. You will be amazed what you can attract when you start believing in yourself and what you are doing.

I write this script with a larger than life smile, as I know that I am extremely proud about who I am, what I have achieved thus far, and I believe in my life’s purpose.

I always push forward, with my inner strength, I paved my own road and make my own happiness, as I am responsible for my own peace and joy.  I love God and He has stood by me, guiding me, counselled me, even reprimanded me, so I learnt not to make the mistake again.

I stand today, thanking every person in my life that played a part in the true and valuable lessons I have learnt, no matter how challenging and treacherous they were.

If God gave me the chance to go back and change anything in my life, I would decline, wholeheartedly. Those were the pivotal moments, the shaping moments, that molded me into the woman I am today.

My message to every woman out there is; “We need to stop seeing ourselves as vulnerable beings. We have limitless power within us, we can achieve so much if we try. We need to learn how to use and focus our energy correctly.”

I thank you for your time in reading a part of my life story.
