Find Your True North in Medicine.

In the demanding world of medicine, where expectations are high and the pressures relentless, it’s easy to lose sight of your authentic self.

I’m here to help you reclaim your purpose, align your career with your values, and build the resilience needed to thrive - not just survive.

Imagine the relief and empowerment that comes from living and working authentically, aligned with your true values.

In Lienka, I found a peaceful listening partner who would echo and bring your focus to unconscious, recurring themes. It is very meaningful that she herself is also a medical practitioner as she shares the unique perspective of the medical community. With her help, you can work together toward meaningful reflection, clarity, and lasting change.

Welcome

Meet Dr Lienka Botha, MBChB, ICF (ACC) — Your Partner in Transformation

I’m Dr Lienka Botha, a practising medical doctor and certified Integral Coach (ICF-ACC).

With years of experience at the bedside and in coaching, I understand the unique challenges young female doctors face today, such as balancing work and personal life, dealing with imposter syndrome, and navigating the male-dominated medical field.

My approach is holistic and deeply personalised, integrating mind, body, and spirit to help you navigate these complexities with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

My Mission

At the core of my work is a commitment to empowering young female doctors to live and work authentically. I believe in a medical profession that honours not just the skills and knowledge of its practitioners but also their well-being and humanity.

My Approach

My coaching is grounded in the integral framework, which recognises that true transformation comes from addressing the whole person - mind, body, heart, and spirit.

This means we don't just focus on your career goals but also on your physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual fulfilment. Through this approach, I guide my clients to navigate their careers with a sense of purpose, clarity, and resilience.
