Leanne Naude is Roots Therapy

Roots Therapy was born out of a desire to help individuals and couples heal.

The words “divorce”, “broken home”, “alcohol abuse” and “loss” were a running theme throughout my childhood into late teens when I fell pregnant. 

My daughter was born with a heart defect - “Tetralogy of Fallot” and at the age of 9 months went through an agonising 5 hour operation to correct it as much as possible. After a 2 week stay at the hospital I emerged much older. The relationship between myself and her father disintegrated and I took stock of what being a mother truly meant.

Willing to conquer the world as a single mom I met my now husband. We went on to have a daughter together, we got married (in that order) and finalised his application to adopt my eldest daughter so that we could be a true family unit. My eldest daughter still had contact with her biological father - something that was incredibly important to all of us.

For a few years we were happy, however being alien to these feelings of closeness and security I fell into unhealthy patterns which caused strain on my marriage and my family… My husband and I made the decision to seek outside counsel - and this was such a saving grace! We fought for our marriage and due to this we did not become another statistic. Looking back I understand why he came into my life, it was not to complete me but to complement me!

I then went on a path of true individual healing… I went back to my spiritual roots of my grandparents and studied Reiki, became a volunteer at Open Door Crises Centre and completed my degree in Psychology. These past 10 years have been one of growing within myself and coming to a place of wanting to help individuals or couples who too have been through unhealthy cycles that are being repeated in their relationships with others!

Roots Therapy aims to get to the root of your problem! Finding a way to heal, aiding you to discover peace and harmony.I have melded the practice of Reiki and Couples Counselling, in this way past emotional trauma's can be dealt with, not only with talk therapy but also with the aid of alternative healing. So in light of the above Roots Therapy accommodates couples or the individual!

Couples may come solely for counselling which is based on the Prepare/Enrich assessment program, or combine therapy with individual Reiki which allows emotional blockages to be released.

Individuals are encouraged to come for Reiki sessions to assist with stress, healing, energy & chakra alignment as well as many other benefits associated with general wellbeing...
