Feminist Therapy with Beauty Boois
Imagine a whole world of therapy and counselling and theories created without YOU in mind. Imagine the full essence of your you-ness being excluded from a process that is supposed to be healing and helpful and transformative? That doesn’t make a grain of sense does it? That’s what I thought until I came across Feminist Therapy.
Love is Wellness – Beauty Boois
As human beings, we are social creatures and in most cases need the presence of positive relationships in our lives in order to thrive as love is one of the most important factors in predicting happiness and well-being. Love can be a tremendously wonderful buffer for stress and even increases immunity or resistance to certain illnesses. Love is a complex emotion and comes in many varieties, for example, the two-factor theory of love proposes Passionate Love which is an intense ongoing for a romantic partner, coupled with experiences of bliss and euphoria in the presence of a positive emotional union. Contrastingly, Compassionate Love is associated with affection, attention, friendship and long term commitment.
Cardio Myths Debunked

Rest, Relax, Reset, Refresh
New beginnings bring brightness more fierce than sunlight, awakenings more majestic than all the mountains surrounding Windhoek city and clarity, transcendent enough to move us into shapes, spaces and places that reflect and project our best and highest selves.
Stop Suicide!
Whether you’ve read about it in the papers or have lost someone close to you or even struggled with suicide ideation yourself, one thing’s for sure, suicide is serious and should not be swept under the rug. We need to enlighten ourselves and those around us about what suicide is, how it’s preventable and openly discuss warning signs as well as inform each other on the help that is available for those suffering from thoughts of and intentions to commit suicide. The more openly and honestly we share, the more closely we can connect to and understand each other and ultimately, prevent deaths by suicide, because awareness is always the first step towards healing.
Workplace Wellness
We truly underestimate the power of work, duty and routine far too often. Psychologically speaking, having a fulfilling career brings about a sense of meaning in life because you are aware that your clients, patients or employers are relying on you.
Your Workspace- Healthier
We need to make changes if we want to have huge impacts on our personal wellness and to stay sane especially for those who work from home. If you started going to the gym, kudos to you. Started making healthier meal choices , *thumbs up. For those who joined a zumba, yoga, twerk or any body building club, we commend you.
It just does not end there. Your work space can also help you continue adding value to your personal wellness.
