Because Your Story was made for more
You matter, therefore your story matters.
Let’s walk together as you discover healing, purpose, and freedom in Christ.
Overcome. Align. thrive.
OVERWHELMED & DISTRACTED
Feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep your passion alive? Sometimes life feels chaotic, and it’s easy to lose focus or feel stuck in a rut. Coaching helps you gain clarity, refocus your energy, and ignite the passion God placed in your heart so you can walk confidently in purpose and joy.
EMOTIONAL STRUGGLES & PATTERNS
Struggling with sadness, fear, loneliness, or old patterns that hold you back? If emotional ups and downs or repeated patterns are keeping you from peace, it’s time for freedom. Through coaching, you’ll learn to manage your emotions, break unhealthy cycles, and experience the fullness of God’s healing and restoration in your life.
WALKING IN GOD'S GUIDANCE & FREEDOM
Wanting to live fully guided by God’s Word, overcome temptation, and step into abundance? It’s normal to feel guilt, shame, or confusion when facing temptation or uncertainty. Coaching helps you align your choices with God’s Word, walk in obedience, and cultivate a heart attuned to the Holy Spirit—so you can step boldly into the abundant life He has written for you.

Meet your Coach
My name is Marlise Van der Merwe, together with my husband, I co-lead Oasis Church in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
I have a strong desire to equip people to walk in the fullness of what God has for them—to be physically, spiritually, and emotionally whole, whether in their everyday life, marriage, family, or business.
I am the principal of our school, where we teach and equip children to be firmly established in who they are and who God has called them to be. I hold a diploma in counselling and am a certified Dream Mentors Coach. Over the past 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of counselling and leading our women’s ministry through camps, conferences, and training.
My favorite thing about people is that everyone has a story. Each story is unique, and when we allow God to lead our hearts toward wholeness, that story becomes a testimony of His abundant grace.
Grace in Every Chapter

The journey to healing and freedom looks different for everyone — but His grace is constant in them all.
