Saturday's child works hard for a living goes the saying. 

The daughter of a minister, my family moved regularly in South Africa. Moving from Pretoria to Grahamstown and Pinetown before arriving back in the Southern Suburbs of Johannesburg where my parents grew up. 

Standard 1 - 5 (Grades 3-7) spent in local primary schools in and around Brackenhurst, Gauteng. 

Standard 6 - Matric (Grades 8-12) spent at the wonderful Johanesburg School of Art, Ballet, Drama and Music/National School of the Arts. I specialised in Drama and focused on backstage skills and stage management. 

Attending the University for Natal - Pietermaritzburg campus, I did a Bachelor Degree in Applied Language Studies and Psychology. I took up fencing as a sport, and remained involved in the theatre throughout my university years. 

On completing my third year of university I took off to go Au Pair in America. Living in Minnesota for 3 months, and then moving to Maryland. I lived outskirts of the Washington DC area, exploring the East Coast of the US during my time there. 

The travel bug had bitten and I moved to the UK. Working in various sales and service jobs in London and the Scottish Highlands. 

I returned to Durban, South Africa, and within months realised I needed to travel again. This time jetting off to teach English in Taiwan, followed my a few months in Sydney and then finally back to Durban. 

I joined Flight Centre as a travel consultant and worked my way up to store manager. I worked in the Kloof, Gateway and Musgrave branches. 

With an opportunity for me to return to the US, I spent three years around the Washington, DC area working as a nanny, and various other jobs. With more time to explore, I traveled extensively, including a trip to the West Coast

Home for my sister's first wedding, I re-joined Flight Centre and settled back down in Durban. Loving the ability to travel for work, train new staff and make people happy!

On 4/8/12 I married Brian in a lovely ceremony in the Natal Midlands. 

My first business was aimed at foodies. Creating custom gift hampers of recipe ingredients. Offering to source complicated ingredients on behalf of non-foodies for their foodie friends. It never really took off. I learned a lot!

After experiencing two unexplained losses in a row I took to blogging and found incredible support. I chose to pay that support forward by creating a Facebook Group to support mothers experiencing miscarriage. Rainbow Hope SA was born!

On 28 May 2014, Brian and Bianca welcomed a baby boy into the family. This was after a series of unexplained miscarriages. 

A complete switch in paths saw me working as a personal concierge with Leavit2me. Once again I was making people happy and allowing them to focus on the things they needed to. 

On 10 July 2017, Brian and Bianca welcomed a baby girl into the family. This followed a loss 18 month earlier - a girl with Turner's Syndrome - a missed miscarriage. 

A pregnant mind and pregnant body created a baby and a business. A few months after my daughter was born I launched WAHM WorkSpace with the intent of a coworking space for working moms. Within 6 months the business pivoted to a Virtual Assistance service, and has been growing ever since. 

My 8th pregnancy ended in a termination for medical reasons, after the baby, a boy we named Bryce, suffered from sever cystic hygroma and tested positive for T21. To deal with the trauma, I started The Baby Bryce Foundation to assist women experiencing pregnancy complications, and to educate the friends, family and care providers supporting these women. 

Amidst the chaos of the world in the 2020 Pandemic, I focused on growing my business interests and expanding my reach. The opportunity was there to provide support and services to many people whose businesses were transitioning. 

As my business grows and supports me, so I have the opportunity to pursue my passions of training, teaching and speaking. Empowering women is my absolutely core value and I hope to fulfil my deepest destiny by embracing my ability to do that.
