It was at a time in my life when I was at a very low state, having a lot of questions about my life and its purpose, emotionally challenged. I was at my breaking point. I know that things needed to change. I was searching for a counsellor when an ad for becoming a Life coach popped up. Right there and then something happened, I knew instantly that this is the path I needed to take. Everything started to fall in place, and I was registered for the life coach program. The different aspects of the program brought home to me the reason I was so drawn when I first saw the ad. The passion for helping people, the resilience to push and find motivation even in stressful situations, the drive to help others achieve, came to life.
The name R4U came about when the initial name request was approved then rejected by the governing body. It was time to go back to the drawing board to find the right name. After several name tries which were all taken my daughter came up with the idea of R4U at first it did not sound right. Saying it many times, the idea connected, there are so many R that spread across helping one move forward in life so the “R” can be whichever you choose as an individual that resonates with you.
It could be Resilience, Resolve, Reframe, Renew, Regulate, Rewire, Resolute, Recreate, Regenerate, Relationships, Reason, Relinquish or Responsibility. At some point in our lives we come in contact with one of these that we have to make a decision. R4U creates the safe space for you as we collaborate together to get you from where you are to where you want to be.
