My name is Kandi Rigney, I am an attorney by profession as well as a certified yoga instructor, but first and foremost I am a mother. After the birth of my daughter, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of helping people and communities at large. I am currently completing my master’s degree in Community Psychology specialising in the promotion of Community Mental Health and I am a certified Life Skills coach. My vision is to empower the powerless and help people take back control of their lives regardless of their circumstances. We all need help at some point, and I hope to help as many individuals and communities as my time here allows.

With years of experience in hospitality and training, I have developed  a passion for people and firmly believe everyone has what it takes to achieve anything they want and aspire to become.  It is never a lack of resources holding you back but a lack of resourcefulness!

As a Certified Life Skills Coach, I will help you maximize your full potential and reach your desired results by teaching you the essential skills to become a better version of yourself.

Start discovering the tools and tactics to get you lasting results in the areas of your life that matter most – personal growth, business,  health, finances, or personal relationships.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in grade two and began a course of prescribed ADHD medication that got me through high school. I found that I had an established pattern; I did well in the classes that interested me and struggled with those I did not. After matric I took a gap year to consider my future and my career options. During this time I stopped taking my medication because I had been advised that I would grow out of my ADHD and wouldn’t need the medication as an adult.

When I did my undergraduate degree in architecture, I found that I repeated my pattern of doing well with subjects that engaged me and struggled with those that didn’t. Although I achieved the degree without medication it took me two years longer than it should have. It was only as I was working on my honors and masters I realised that,
even though I was working extremely long hours and understood the material, I was missing deadlines and falling behind my classmates. In seeking help I found Dr Jeeva and with his advice I was able to resume medication and achieve the academic results that my hard work merited.

Dr Jeeva educated me on the differences between adult and child ADHD and not only worked with me to find the right medication regimen for me, but also referred me to The School of Life to help me gain the life skills I needed to graduate with my masters degree in Architecture, specialising in the design of educational spaces for children with ADHD and autism (ASD). In my professional life I have discovered that while I still love all aspects of design, my true passion is in education and helping people (with and without ADHD) to find practical solutions to navigate the modern work environment, whether that be at home, in school or in the office. I believe that with the right tools and motivation everyone has the power to excel.

I am an Advocate by profession. I hold an LLB degree, a postgraduate diploma in Labour Law and a partially completed LLM degree.

I am an Autistic individual, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and an array of co-morbidities.

I am Mom to two Autistic kids diagnosed with ADHD (and then some).

I spent the majority of my life on a journey to find out more about my neurodiversity. A journey which highlighted the huge gap in people’s knowledge of neurodiverse conditions.

A journey riddled with obstacles ranging from ‘a lack of support’; ‘a lack of acknowledgement’; ‘a lack of acceptance’ (to name a few).

A journey which saw my legal practice burst into flames… ‘not because I was incompetent’; ‘not because I lacked intellectual skills’; ‘not because I lacked enthusiasm’ … BUT…’because of a lack of support’; ‘because of a lack of acknowledgement’; ‘because of a lack of acceptance’.

A journey which saw me claw my way out of the ashes Authentically Autistic and Unapologetically Neurodiverse… ‘not because I was less neurodiverse’; ‘not because I had less co-morbidities’; ‘not because I had less challenges’… BUT… ‘because I have developed a voracious appetite for knowledge of everything neurodiverse’; ‘because I learnt how to communicate my needs’; and most of all ‘because I became a part of like-minded individual.

Khensane is a Wits University Marketing Honours graduate and works in the field of market research and consumer insights. After being diagnosed with ADHD in 2018, she embarked on her life coaching journey not only to improve her own self-awareness, but to also be able to equip others to do the same. Khensane also has experience in Education and hopes to use her coaching qualification and experience to assist children and teenagers with ADHD and other behavioral issues to be the best versions of themselves.

Words to live by: “Everything is resolvable.”

I am an Engineering Graduate with over 10 years of working experience in the Building Construction industry, Water and sanitation, and 3 years of working experience in mining. I started my own Construction Company in 2016, not only for my personal growth but to make a difference and create job opportunities for people and helping them provide for their families. I’m also a founder of Kokeletso Moiloa Foundation and The Women Legacy, specializing in Cancer Awareness, Women empowerment, and few other initiatives that help to empower people in different communities, especially in rural villages. Helping people and my passion for making a difference is always been the driving force in my life, influenced by my childhood traumas and surviving Breast Cancer. Through Life Skills Coaching I am able to tell stories that affected the human spirit, stories that people can see themselves in, to teach people especially women, that they are not their circumstances and there is light after the darkness.

My biggest dream is to see women standing up for themselves, to have the resources and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
