About Essie

My name is Essie N. Sibanda. I am a Senior Specialist Occupational Health Advisor, Author, Writing Coach, Christian Counsellor, and Life Coach. I founded Barahope Social Relationships to offer life coaching based on "the Barahope intentional awakening framework." My mission is to support individuals in navigating loss, grief, relationships, and the depth of their unique experiences, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and fulfilment. For the working population and companies my vision is to help them use their past pain to improve work and social relationships thus, improve their productivity at work and live out their purpose in life with love and passion.
 

I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe by an adventurous wise Malawian immigrant father and an intelligent resourceful local mother. I am a general nurse, midwife and a public health specialist practitioner currently working in occupational health. I have always had this big dream which has nothing to do with nursing. The vision within me is bigger than where I am at. It marries into what I am doing as a writer and a published author. The dream shall come to pass at an appointed time.
