Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Are you standing at a crossroads, unsure which path to take? Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by choices, or ready to take on the world but don’t know where to start—I’m here to help.

Welcome to Acorn Consulting and coaching with me, Linda.

As a Crossroads Coach, I specialise in guiding you through life’s pivotal decisions—career shifts, personal growth, relationships, and beyond. Your growth is my passion, and together, we’ll unlock your potential, navigate transitions, and turn uncertainty into confidence.

Let’s embark on this journey to a more fulfilled, purposeful, and empowered you!

Welcome,

I’m Linda, and I’m a Coach.

My approach is refreshingly honest, grounded in empathy and real-life experience. I’ve led and managed corporate teams for decades, I’m a mom to teenagers (one of whom has special needs), and I’ve personally navigated burnout, cancer, and life’s unexpected turns. I get it.

Life is full of crossroads—those pivotal moments when you’re faced with big decisions about your career, personal growth, or relationships. As a Crossroads Coach, I specialize in guiding individuals through these transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

With qualifications as a University of Cape Town Executive & Management Coach, a certified Personal Development Coach, and an accredited Addiction Recovery Coach, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice—along with 20 years in leadership within Luxury Travel & Tourism.

Together, we’ll create a safe, 100% confidential space where you’ll feel nurtured, heard, and supported. Gentle yet effective, I balance warmth, humor, and clear guidance to help you move past ‘stuckness’ and step into a more fulfilled, empowered future—always with fun along the way.

Menopause
Mentorship

Thrust into medically-induced menopause following cervical cancer surgeries, I guide women through the emotional, physical, and lifestyle shifts of this profound transition with empathy and practical support.

Why choose me as your life coach?

I’ve walked a rich, varied path myself. From leadership and parenting to facing cancer, autism, mental health challenges, menopause, ADHD, and addiction, I’ve been through a lot. I offer a completely judgement-free zone—nothing shocks me, and everything is met with empathy.

Though the world may feel small, the trust we build together is immense. What we share is 100% confidential—you are safe with me, always.

Every coaching session with me is crafted just for you. I don’t rely on generic structures or one-size-fits-all formulas; everything is personalized to your unique needs and aspirations.

With my naturally encouraging and positive approach, you’ll feel safe to explore, play, and grow at your own pace, knowing I’m here to support you.

We’ll create a real, authentic connection. The relationships I build with clients go far beyond our sessions, and I’ll always have your back as your biggest cheerleader—now and forever.

Success Stories

I was... sceptical of the whole 'coaching thing’. But I wanted to improve a few segments of my life (dramatically) and had no idea how to do it on my own. But Linda didn't do it 'for' me, either. A tenet of her teaching is to let her clients find their own paths, and take their own steps, guided by her expertise and perspective. The result has been transformative. The life I have - the things I'm doing, the way I see the world and my place in it, and my ambitions' realisation - is very different from the one I had. I wouldn't say it's entirely thanks to her (but, that's not the point). But I will say I wouldn't have done it without her. She's a wonderful human being, a big-heart, a quick mind, a wealth of ideas, and a very welcome co-pilot down life's crazy highway.

I decided to work with Linda a few months ago, as I had found myself struggling after taking hit after hit after hit in a very nasty and malicious divorce. I am usually upbeat and a good problem solver, and didnt think I would ever need such coaching... but the hits kept coming, and I was sinking, struggling to stay afloat. I needed an anchor. I needed some steering. I needed to be able to see the shoreline. Linda was exactly that. Her calm, understanding and thought provoking sessions were not only helpful, but necessary. She helped me in such a profound way. I started believing in myself. I started systematically working through it all. I started gaining confidence in my decisions. I started healing, and finding ways to assert other healing in my life. I started trusting my gut again. She has an absolute calling for this work. Unshakeable. What a wonderful support she has been, I couldn't thank her enough.

I have tried different types of therapy and life coaching has been the most rewarding, by far. Linda provides the safest space to voice your inner thoughts, hopes and dreams. While safe, it was also the space where I set the boundaries of what I wanted to achieve. Linda helped me build the skills to feel confident in chasing the goals I was previously scared to. Compassion, openess, authenticity and wisdom all paired with a zero judgement space are what you will find. I am forever grateful to Linda, and can recommend her as a coach to anyone who needs support or wants to push themselves but maybe doesn't know where to begin
