Holistic CoachWho am I?
Thank you for your interest. I am Johanna Botzkowski, `Flame Agency` and `Heart Core Manager`. Born in Germany and alive for many years in the cultural metropolis Berlin plus in Cape Town. I am a creative, holistic entrepreneur, following my inner voice & purpose with all my heart. While my mind went into sustainable tourism management studies (Master of Arts), my soul and body expanded into the competency fields of the creative arts, dance and therapeutic movement research. This lead me to various educations and qualifications, which now form – grounding on long years experience – my today`s work in holistic massage & body therapy, integrative life & health, inspiring transformation coaching and empowering training. Thats when my life journey only really started.
My personality and passion are multisided. And so is my field of competency and profession. Friends call me a peaceful warrior oft he heart. Indeed, my passion is to share the wonderful spark of life, motivate, inspire, shine, treat, connect and support people, make them move, follow their heart and soul purpose and radiate in various ways into core success. Everything I achieved, I created through my inner voice and guidance power.
So I spread my skills through the fields of creative projects, holistic health and wellness and integrative support/ coaching and training. I enjoy directing my studied business knowledge like management and marketing into fields of work, which forms the other side of my profession: leadership facilitation, structional and organisational support for medium scale business and institutions, mentoring and softskills training for transitions and change processes.
Watch an interview with me in the city of Cape Town:
I provide…
Theoretical knowledge socio economic master studies, various creative coaching, dance, training and body therapy educations
Experimental scenes as a movement and life researcher for holistic healing and authentic growth
I have been living and working in various teams on different sides of the earth, including Asia, South Africa, Southern Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I love intercultural, healthy, sportive, integrative, social intelligent, fair, efficient and inspiring work and living. Nature`s power, horses as well as authentic and alive beings are my life recharging battery. That desire brought me to my second home base Cape Town. South Africa is the most alive and heart-filled place I so far experienced.
Thank you for your trust… Join the Journey now!
