READY TO STEP INTO YOUR BALANCED LIFE & BUSINESS?

I’m Kristy (otherwise known as J’anaki), and my passion is helping Wellness Practitioners find satisfaction in their work by revolutionizing how they do business.

I specialize in balancing Feminine Wellness with grounded business mentorship, allowing practitioners to thrive without stress.

Following my pregnancy in 2009, I moved beyond the corporate space and became a Pregnancy Yoga Specialist and so my passion for the womb began! I later became a Fertility Yoga Specialist, then a Lifeline Counsellor for women with Womb Trauma. In 2011 I completed Shamanic Studies to then serve the work energetically, emotionally (counselling), and physically (yoga).

After elevating the Red Tent movement within South Africa in 2015, I decided to launch the SHE Academy where I train Red Tent Facilitators and Women’s Wellness Practitioners on how to hold their own sacred wellness spaces. I have recently set up an NPO for The Global Womb and Wellbeing Collective so that we may offer the work to those in deep need, without the means to access the care they require to heal from Womb-based Trauma, Gender Based Violence and Period Poverty.

With 14 years of experience and expertise in running five Women’s Wellness businesses, I’ve helped countless practitioners step into or elevate their Professional Private Practice.

My portfolio spans running and selling a successful yoga studio, developing various programmes, and training thousands of women across various disciplines. I bring my diverse qualifications and global training experience to the SHE Academy, including the recent initiative—a Global Womb & Well-being NPO.

My motivation comes from valuing my freedom, spending quality time with my daughter, and prioritizing my personal transformation and wellness.

Let’s unlock your highest potential and help you to leave your mark within the wellness industry.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send you a message and thank you for the knowledge that you have impartedover the last three years, It’s what made today happen! I was petrified. But once we started talking, I had a massive responsibility to keep the girls safe and to not open doors that are not ready to be opened. But it was amazing. And when I left, the moms were like, “We need to get more – moms need you, more girls need you”. ~ Ashleigh Uys (having delivered her first Young Ladies Red Tent)

Thank you for being the best teacher. And mama. You really do take care and empower your students; I have had many teachers, but they have often been selfish in their execution – not you! ~ Danielle Singleton (200hr Yoga Teacher Trainee)

“J’anaki was able to support me through my pregnancy tailoring and amending our classes to exactly what I needed. Having never done yoga nidra I was surprised and also nourished by this style of yoga to relax and nurture the body and mind.

J’anaki has a soothing, relaxing and peaceful disposition that lends itself to a calming practice for the body and mind. No matter how stressful my day was, how anxious and tight my tummy would get, J’anaki was able to release and relax it.

Our yoga classes really did entail a wonderful journey and J’anaki supported me in so many ways other than yoga. She helped me unpack the process of a midwifery led natural birth, walked the path of choosing a midwife and the process that followed, birth preparation, meditations for the birth, breathing and relaxing exercises. The yoga changed throughout my pregnancy and no 2 classes were the same. We would unpack so much more than just yoga in our classes which led to a completely rich and full one-on-one training.

After our little star arrived It was thanks to J’anaki that we had his star charts read, which was such a memorable and cherished experience experience.

J’anaki always starts the yoga class by tuning in from a physical, emotional and energetic point of view which then affords her the ability to tailor the class to exactly what I need. She is an incredible listener.

Even though some of our classes have been disrupted now with a little being adapting to our ever changing world, J’anaki has been patient and accommodating throughout.

I’m very excited to start the next chapter of yoga with her as it evolves into something completely new. Including my little one has been very special and I hope to do more of it in future”. ~ Lauren Dunbar (Yoga Student)

RED TENT TRAINEES/ Womb Wellness Practitioners/ SHE Academy Facilitators:

Shayla:
It is an understatement to say J’anaki’s facilitator course has changed my life. From connecting to my body, to embodying a sense of my own truth and wisdom, this course has allowed me to move through life in a fully womb – centered awareness. Gaining the ability to hold space for woman to journey within their womb has changed how I connect to myself, Spirit and the world around me.

Mary-Anne:
This work guided me to a magical place of embodiment. I was able to heal deep wounds of postnatal depression which aligned my daughter and I. I awakened to the strength of sisterhood and deeply connected to my womb space. I rise as the oracle with the key of connection between earth and sky through my womb. The work of the Divine feminine is like no other and weaves magic every time.Janakis gift to hold space is nothing like I have ever experienced. Her commitment to share this work is a blessing to all of us. I see you sister! (Feel free to edit)

This course was one of the most empowering learning experiences. It’s more than just learning, it’s been an experience of sharing, caring, crying and laughing in a safe and supportive environment.

Anjana:
This journey (course) was so expanding. unfolding into the depths of me I didn’t know existed. A deep acceptance of the self and self-love which I found in the silence in the sisterhood this course provided. This course allowed a beautiful connection to my body. Reframing my belief about my body, sensuality and creativity. Through doing this course I experienced deep healing. Janaki is a fun, great facilitator. She knows how to tap into feminine energy. A ” crone” like me can also learn its never too late.

Lazola:
Words can’t express how much gratitude I feel towards J’anaki for the gift she has given to me by simply allowing space for me to expand, explore while staying true to myself. The knowledge I have acquired from the Womb Wisdom Training has opened me to deeper inner knowings that have been waiting to be SEEN and acknowledged. This experienced as taught me the importance of honoring once’s self. From this course I have been able to give birth to embodiment work I feel deeply called to do with womxn. All my love Lazola

An’Anasha (Toni):
A year I was so fragile and my life was falling apart. Through divine intervention I came across The Red Tent Facilitation Training on Facebook. Well – not only did I rediscover a huge part of who I am, I also rediscovered my true passion of teaching and listening. I met the the most amazing women friends healers and teacher. I wil forever be grateful for this time. An’Anasha

Janine:
My ongoing experience with the Red Tent Facilitator Training the past nine months has submerged me into the deepest parts of myself where as I dropped deeper, deeper, I came to know myself. Know thyself. A motto I have always carried in my heart and only came to learn that I would find the true meaning of this in the cave of wisdom- my womb. All the way down, trough every layer, I had J’anaki guiding me, like a warrioress, pointing forward in silence showing me where to look and how to greet my true self. She introduced me to the old woman sitting by the fire in my womb, casting ashes of my old self into the flames to be reborn. I didn’t know how much I needed to sit in circle with other women on the same journey until I came into circle with J’anaki and all the beautiful women who have spiraled into their own journeys and all came out more centred, more magical and all more wise. The Red Tent Facilitator Training was an initial treasure map that gifted me the meandering pathway to continue this journey with working in alignment with my womb and the power therein for the rest of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The Red Tent facilitation training Course connects womb-an together with Mother Earth and Father Sky. With the beautiful essence J’anaki brings and the insights she shares made me realise my inner beauty and capability to assist and
Revive red tent and woman circles to the indigenous Aboriginal woman of the land.

Vicky:
This 9 month journey with J’anaki has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. J’anaki has a depth of understanding of what it means to be a woman, and what it means to work with the feminine principle that has allowed me to tune deeply into my own wisdom. Her guidance has brought me in touch with my own womb and my cyclical nature in a way that has been life changing. I am so excited and honoured to be guiding and supporting my clients in connecting with their natural cycles and with their bodies, and I am already seeing deep transformation in them as well. Thank you J’anaki.

This 9 month sacred journey with J’anaki has deepened my understanding and connection with the Divine Feminine. I am immensely grateful for how and when it came into my life. I believe that each woman should do a training like this. These teachings are divinely needed for all, both the feminine and masculine. Thank you J’anaki for all that you are and for this powerful work you are sharing. With divine love, Jeanelle Satori.

Josie:
This course with J’anaki undoubtedly changed my life in so many ways and I am so grateful to her, and to have been able to do it at the beginning of the pandemic as it really gave me the skills to connect to my own inner strength & remain centred when the world around me felt like chaos. It allowed me to gain the courage to face my shadow & honor my dark feminine, while enhancing & deepening my divine connection to myself, my cycle awakened within me the powerful force of divine feminine leadership. J’anaki guided me so beautifully through these 9 months & really helped me embrace my inner wisdom & innate ability to be a healer, to myself & others. Because of her, and this course I was able to successfully launch my Feminine Empowerment brand SYNC-IN FLOW, and have been hosting small & intimate women’s circles to much success! My future goals are to start hosting regular 1-day retreats, as well as carry on with bi-monthly women’s circles.
