About Yolandi Rossouw
Owner Garden Route
Yolandi Rossouw (née Ras) was born in Virginia in the Free State. She and her husband have been married for 21 years this year and has 1 daughter. She is passionate about self-empowerment and self-improvement. Her daughter attended the Girl-School course in Afrikaans with Anri van der Linde in 2019. This started her passion for girls and women.
Yolandi has worked for the Department of Education FS for almost twenty years and experienced first-hand industrial psychology at a higher level, before obtaining qualifications in cognitive therapy and advanced neurolinguistics programming at master’s level, as well as child psychology and the modern specialist area of mindfulness in children, which seeks to help children focus, and overcome anxiety. Further qualifications include courses in Empathy, Bullying, Child Counselling and Wellbeing Support, Mindfulness for Teenagers and Schools, and also NVC (Non-Violent Communication).
She combines established neurological research with the well-known impact that the body/mind connection has on our success in life, and she wants to make it her mission to teach every woman and child that they are made excellent and wonderful and have the ability to control and determine the direction of their lives and choose the outcome themselves.
She also uses her social media platforms to empower women and has interviewed several personalities to give women free access to the knowledge they would otherwise have to pay for. Some of her guests include Johanni Steenkamp, Nadine Blom, Lynette Beer, and Gretha Wiid to name but a few.
She is also a published writer for Carpe Diem Media and has co-written three books published by Carpe Diem Media and Finesse Voelgoed Tydskrif: Hoe jy Opstaan is wat Saak Maak; Is jy doof vir God? en Foute wat (selfs oulike) Ma’s Maak . She was also part of Finesse Voelgoed Tydskrif and Nadia Beukes’ Los-die-Ma-Skuldgevoel webinar, where she spoke as a speaker about how we should allow our children to make mistakes and that love should never be linked to performance.
She was also involved in the digital women’s magazine, Momtrepreneurs SA, where as a columnist, she shared her knowledge with readers about life questions.
Yolandi is also the creator and Director of Women In Faith Initiative (WIFI) which aims to empower women. She is also a qualified SA Image Academy image consultant and stylist and owns her own image consulting business – WIFI Image Consulting, and believes that this will also empower her to reach women and girls on a deeper level and to bring their inner beauty into the open.
As the proud owner of Girl-School Garden Route, she cannot wait to start teaching young girls to shine their sparkles and use their combined beauty to bring change into this world.
