About Us
Hi, I am Abby
Founder of The Zen Collective.
​
My work is rooted in creating calm, supportive spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. Through yoga, Reiki, meditation, and gentle nervous system practices, I help people find steadiness during times of stress, change, or emotional overwhelm.
​
I have been working in the fitness and wellness industry since 2009, and over the years my path has evolved from high-energy training environments into a more mindful, restorative approach to movement and healing. I have been teaching yoga since 2017 and hold a 500-hour Yoga Teacher certification, along with qualifications as a Reiki Master, Hypnotherapist, and Bach Flower Remedy Practitioner. I have also trained in mindfulness, grief support, and nervous system regulation, and I am especially drawn to practices that help people feel safe, grounded, and at ease in themselves.
​
My work became much deeper after the passing of my youngest son, Tom. That experience changed the way I see life, healing, and what it means to truly support another human being. I no longer believe in quick fixes. I believe in presence, kindness, and giving the body and mind the space they need to find balance again.
​
The Zen Collective was created as a place where all of these approaches can come together — a calm, welcoming space for movement, rest, healing, and connection. Whether you come for a yoga class, a Reiki session, a workshop, or simply a moment to breathe, you are welcome exactly as you are.
​
I am based in Langebaan in the Western Cape, where I run The Zen Collective at Life’s Secret Garden, and I also work with small groups, private clients, and retreats.
