ith her natural smile and
genuine interest in others,
Timera is one of those
people who radiates
authenticity. Although she
makes it look easy, her journey to selflove
has taken time and plenty of hard
work. She decided to pursue a career
in life coaching after realising that
her own belief system was holding
her back from personal growth.
“I recognised the need to explore
different modalities to heal my own
trauma and redefine my beliefs and
values,” she admits. “This journey of
self-discovery was essential for me to
live authentically and aligned with my
truth and purpose.”
Through life coaching, Timera found
ways to reinvent and rediscover
herself. Now, she’s dedicated to
helping others embark on similar
journeys of self-discovery and
empowerment, guiding them
towards living their most fulfilling
lives. She was drawn to the world
of wellness from a young age and
remembers always being fascinated
with health. “Even as a child, I loved
experimenting and creating my
own herbal remedies from plants
and flowers,” she says. “My passion
stemmed from a deep desire to see
others around me happy, healthy and
loved by themselves and others.”
Besides her work as a life coach,
Timera also teaches Pilates at Kico
Life in Ballito. It’s a practice she
describes as the perfect blend
of science and self-awareness.
“Through Pilates, I strengthen my
core and engage muscles that are
often overlooked, fostering a deep
connection with my body,” she says.
“This intentional workout leaves me
feeling empowered and energised.”
With a post-graduate degree in
psychology, and extensive training
in neuro-linguistic programming
(NLP), reiki and BASI Pilates, Timera is
passionate about holistic wellness and
is dedicated to getting to grips with
the intricate connections between
mind, body and spirit.
Her advice to others seeking balance
and health is to actively commit to
self-care. “It begins with a conscious
decision to choose a better quality of life
for yourself, “ she explains. “I recommend
carving out at least 10 minutes each
day to prioritise activities that make
you feel happier, more grounded and
healthier; and don’t be afraid to invest
in yourself in this respect.”
Movement, along with mindful eating,
is key. “Remember, prioritising self-care
isn't selfish - it's essential for your
well-being,” she says. “By taking care of
yourself first, you'll be better equipped
to give to others and contribute
positively to the world around you.”
Beyond the wellness space, Timera
has also joined forces with her
brothers Shren and Jiten to start
Shren Media, a niche content creation
agency. Together, the siblings work
with local businesses to tell stories
through social media. She’s also
releasing a book later this year and
has a few other exciting projects for
the year ahead.
Originally from La Mercy, Timera has
cherished memories of growing up
on the beaches of Umdloti and Ballito.
“My connection to nature remains
a source of joy and inspiration,” she
says. “Despite spending a decade
in Johannesburg, the pull of my
hometown was irresistible, ultimately
leading me back to the North Coast
- a place that holds a special place in
my heart.” She is currently based in
Umdloti and absolutely loves life in
the area. When she’s not working, she
enjoys spending time at the beach
and at coffee shops and can often be
seen out and about with her beautiful
border collie, Coco Bean. “Every
moment here feels like a breath of
tropical paradise!” she says. “Life on the
North Coast is a celebration of nature,
community and the simple pleasures.”
