The Real You Revolution
In a Changing World, Step Into Your Peace, Power and Purpose
with Loraine Magda
Hello from Loraine!
My mission is to help people who are ready for a shift to step into the greatest version of themselves.
While I address all aspects of improving life and work performance e.g. stress management, rediscovering yourself, knowing what you want, developing new strengths etc, my unique offering is the power of balancing our masculine and feminine energies.​​​
My Story
I was born and raised in South Africa, although I've also lived, studied and worked in the US and UK.
Around the age of 5, I was struck by human suffering, especially through the lens of women including my grandmother and others. "There's got to be a better way", I thought. I felt that men and women were unnecessarily struggling with each other, and within themselves. Life could be simpler and better for everyone.
Another early, pivotal impression was a spiritually transformative experience. I can describe it as a spontaneous out-of-body experience that essentially showed me that we live in a conscious Universe.​
​
Looking back, my path has revealed itself as the intersection of these two areas: that we live in a conscious, purposeful universe, and the promise of a happier world.
​
I would like to share how individuals, couples, institutions and society can become happier, more harmonious, more effective by freeing ourselves from age-old imbalances and moving into our power and authenticity. It certainly transformed my own life from a sense of despair into a sense of freedom, magic and possibility.
​
Careers and Studies
I have had two careers, one in science and the other in human development. My studies formally include an MS in Geology, an MA in Consciousness Studies and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Business Administration.
​
My first career was as a hydrogeologist in consulting engineering. I had a pretty successful career but ended up leaning so deeply into my masculine energies - my go, go, go, do, do, do - that it eventually led to burn out.
While it was happening I learned a lot about myself, what I was capable of. I had no idea that I could cope with or succeed in the many challenges of the job. A stint with a relationship counselor showed me that I was totally out of touch with my feelings and even my body, as I'd been in a driven headspace for years.
​
All of this contributed to a decision to make a change.
I left my job, left an unhealthy relationship and sold my belongings in order go travel the world for a year! To find myself again. Ah, the joys! This in itself was balm for the soul and it led me to a course that changed my life.​
​
I did a 3-year MA degree in Consciousness Studies in then JFK University in California. What a coming home it was. I could not have imagined this if I hadn't experienced it. In short, it helped me to reconnect with that "other side of myself", my feminine side, which is for me very closely related to my deeper, spiritual side too. It was an experience of coming home to myself, to my feelings, to healing old wounds, opening to my intuition and dream life, and rediscovering the magic of life. This included the Law of Attraction, life's sacred mysteries and living a conscious life.
Returning to South Africa, I began to gravitate into coaching and corporate training, always with an emphasis on soft skills, stress management, team effectiveness, cross-cultural leadership and leadership effectiveness. I added a layer of "growth in consciousness" into everything that I did from then on. For example, later I added 'lecturer' to my portfolio as I created and taught a widely popular MBA leadership course "Introduction to Conscious Business" at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.
​
While traveling for the year, plus the next few years studying my MA degree, I began to spontaneously receive clear, concise information, concepts and even models of what balancing our masculine and feminine sides looks and feels like.
​
Eventually I felt guided to write a book, and focus my energies on inner balance. I have created a podcast as well as coaching and training offerings that center on Inner Balance and how to achieve it by following my 7-step process to Inner Balance. I have been offering workshops, coaching and public speaking on these subjects since 2008.
​
My preparation for this offering has been to balance myself and integrate both poles (my masculine and feminine sides) with no biases or preferences. Not an easy feat! But crucial for the integrity of my work, and crucial for really bringing out the best in individuals, couples, leaders and working teams. I want to share this with the world. You can benefit from this too.
Whether you're an individual, a couple or a team within a corporate, you have come to the right place. I tweak my offerings to suit the needs of my clients.
