Hi, I’m Marike, a proudly South African mother of three, living in a charming small town in the Free State province. As a nearly 44-year-old, I believe in the power of transformation and self-discovery, and my journey is a testament to that belief.
In 2019, I faced a life-altering mental breakdown—a moment that could have been the end of the road but instead became the beginning of an incredible transformation. In my quest to save myself, I stumbled upon life coaching, which ignited a passion within me I never knew existed.
Fueled by that passion, I earned over 35 coaching certifications and completed my doctorate in metaphysical sciences at the age of 40. In 2023, I proudly launched Boheems Academy, an online life coach training platform dedicated to empowering others to embark on their own healing and self-discovery journeys.
December 2023 marked another milestone: I became a published author with my book, From Sidekick to Superhero. Now, at the start of 2025, I’ve transitioned to my dream career as a full-time author, while continuing to offer services as a self-publishing and personality coaching.
Through my work, I aim to guide others in rewriting their own stories, whether that’s through discovering their unique personalities or sharing their voices with the world. My life is proof that no matter where you start or how broken you feel, transformation is always possible.
