Hi, I’m Louise Niemann
A Mental Health and Personal Development Coach
I help men and women who are struggling with low self-esteem, childhood trauma, anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors (such as alcoholism, over-eating, gambling) and toxic relationship patterns.
My mission is to guide you through a process of breaking free from these limiting patterns and fast-track your journey toward lasting self-worth, mental and emotional stability, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships without spending any more years of failure and heartache in the process.
My approach to coaching is a balance between intuitive guidance and science-based psychological frameworks. My aim is that you become inspired and empowered to live a life that reflects and is aligned to your true authentic self…without judgement.
My coaching philosophy is based on the premise that sustainable change only happens when you change the way you see yourself.
It’s time to invest in yourself and step into the life you deserve—one marked by confidence, clarity, and genuine connection. Let’s work together to transform your struggles into strengths, and unlock the path to your most empowered and authentic life.

I know what it’s like to try and negotiate this world in constant survival mode.
Due to various traumas in childhood and adolescence I ended up navigating adulthood with the constant “you’re trash” voice in my head, attracting situations and relationships that confirmed this narrative. I was on my death-bed during child-birth in 2018 and shortly thereafter, became a widow at 38 years of age.
There was a time that I hated myself more than I loved my own children.
It is not really surprising that I was eventually diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), anxiety and depression.
But my story was never going to end there. As the master of my own fate, as the captain of my ship, I came to realize that what other people think of me…is none of my business.
I started to deepen the connection and quality of the relationship I had with myself. In doing this, I developed an incredible sense of self-value, self-respect and self-acceptance. I intuitively knew how to communicate my needs and establish healthy boundaries. My relationships with other people, food, money and alcohol eventually changed. For the better.
I became a Mrs South Africa semi-finalist in 2016 and I was crowned Mrs Africa Continental in 2017. I graduated cum laude with a BA in psychology in 2020, completing my honors degree in psychology the following year.
My story still isn’t over.
I dedicate my life to leading and inspiring others to achieve the same freedom, value and authenticity that I am blessed to live and experience in every moment.
Working with me is an investment in yourself. A simple act of self-value and self-respect.

I appreciate that you understand my problem and the fact that you know the emotional struggle I’m battling with. It’s so much easier for me to open to someone that understands that part. And the fact that I didn’t feel you think as a man I’m weak because of the fears I sit with every single day.
Understanding
We as staff work with broken people every day and because we all work at this clinic because of our passion to help people, your testimonial was an inspiration. You must know to keep a bunch of addicts plastered to their chairs without a smoke break for 2 hours is the biggest compliment for any speaker.
Biggest Compliment
Thank you Louise...A particular sentence struck a chord with me, "I decide to live a broken life". Thank you for that profound sentence it had a major impact on me.
Thank You Louise!
Louise has a very professional and kind approach in her coaching. Personally, Louise has helped me a lot professionally and personally, she has an outlined step-by-step strategy which resonated with me completely, as we have a very similar way of thinking. I can recommend her services to set up personal goals in a realistic and productive way.
Highly Recommend
