She resides in the beautiful town of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape, where she has been practicing as a dietitian since 2012. She is married to Andre Swanepoel and is the proud mother of two little miracles, a pigeon pair - a double blessing after immense pain and sorrow. In September 2020 she published her debut book 'Ek sal weer 'n Loflied sing', her life story of unimaginable loss, pain and anguish, but also a story of abundant grace and blessing, hopeful expectation and beauty for ashes. She is currently enrolled in a Pastoral Counseling course and wants to specialize in Grief & Bereavement counseling to guide and support others through their grief journey.view less
