I’ve been praying for restoration, freedom, and healing to areas of my life that had been affected by childhood trauma, anger, and unhealthy patterns.

This ministry creates space for the Holy Spirit to reveal truth, bring healing, and bring freedom to areas of deep pain, helping you see situations from a completely different perspective and gently guiding you towards letting go of brokenness.

Going through this process has genuinely changed my life.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Hesta and the E.M.L.T. process to anyone seeking healing, restoration, and freedom.

With Hesta, I am in a safe space to be vulnerable to really allow myself to feel the emotion. I went for counseling, and it did help, but TPM is much more effective for me. Bringing God into every situation makes a massive difference. I stand in awe of how interested God is in my every thought.

I am hopeful. I am full of joy and peace that I cannot describe. That can only be found at the feet of Jesus. Thank you, Hesta, for taking on this role.

The process and facilitation by Hesta were both comforting and professional. It was a Spirit-led experience that provided the opportunity for restoration and healing, which can only be received through the blood of Jesus. It allowed me to bring trauma and hurt to Jesus, and for it to be replaced by His truth.

I had an accident at work, which caused me minor trauma. That was only the gateway for the trauma I didn’t know I had. At first, we talked about my accident at work, and as time went by, I started to trust Hesta with more. She is always reminding you to be honest with yourself, otherwise, you are wasting time. Overall, just talking to someone about your problems helps, but Hesta takes it a step further and brings you to the answer you need. It helps me a great deal because now I know my strengths and weaknesses better than ever, and I have a clear goal for my future. Hesta changed my life.

I am so thankful for seeing God’s beauty and goodness in our lives. My children and I went through a lot of trauma and loss, I was at a low in my life; tears, pain, and turmoil were my daily companions. I couldn’t see how and when things would ever get better, it was a long, stormy season. In all that time, I sought the Lord, held on to Him, and I also had the support of loving family and friends, yet I felt and knew I needed help on an emotional and spiritual level. The Lord answered my prayers, He is so faithful. I was at an all low, frustrated as I kept on struggling, and feelings of frustration, anger, deep sadness, overwhelm, and hopelessness were reigning in my life. One day, as I was fighting tears regarding our struggles, the Lord orchestrated a meeting between Hesta and me. We got talking, and I said maybe my kids need play therapy. She shared that she specialised in that, yet in a Holy Spirit-guided process.

It was an answered prayer. They have been to play therapy before, yet the process psychologists use doesn’t have great results. I felt excited, in awe of God’s amazing heart for us!I needed to have a session with her before my children did, to understand the process and share some information. As soon as my children started going to her, they couldn’t wait for their next session, they loved it. They do art and different forms of play and creativity that they choose, and love it. I am so thankful as they have a safe space to share, she coaches them, and prays through their hurts. She really has a gift for working with children. Even after just a few sessions, I noticed a change; they are more content, less stressed, and sleep better. I decided to start sessions myself, too, and I feel so safe and heard. We pray through painful memories, which cause triggers in our lives. I felt peace and confirmation from the Lord to continue sessions with her.

Since the four sessions I have had (a mixture of TPM and life coaching), I feel like the things I longed and prayed for so long are bearing fruit. I feel more peace and joy, even self-control, which confirms it’s through the power of the Holy Spirit, as these are the fruits of the Spirit! I experience more freedom in my thoughts, my reactions, and my whole being.

I believe God is restoring me and my children to His blueprint for us, He is also printing restoration in all of our relationships. For the first time in many years, I am a more playful, present, spontaneous Mom again, life and circumstances don’t just overwhelm me like it used to daily. I am making better decisions more easily, led by Him, and believe and know I hear His voice. All honor and glory to the Lord!

Before I met Hesta, I wasn’t in a good place mentally. I was constantly overthinking and breaking my own heart over things that had happened to me. Sitting with her and doing things I never believed would actually help… helped me more than anyone could have imagined.

Her guidance and support made everything feel lighter. Through her care, I found myself again. I used to believe I was never good enough, but she gently walked with me through the process of talking to Jesus and helped me discover my path.

Knowing I wasn’t being judged or made fun of, made it so much easier to speak from my heart. Honestly, if I hadn’t seen her, I don’t know where I’d be right now. I’m a new person. I still have many mountains to climb, but I now know that I have the Lord with me.

Through her sessions, I finally found my Father the Lord Jesus. I finally felt at home. At peace.

I never used to believe that talking about things could help. But after seeing her, my whole perspective changed. I always found peace in those sessions, just sitting with her and expressing how I felt.

She truly changed my life for the better. I’m so grateful for the guidance she gave me and the help she led me to.

For me, personally, it’s hard to imagine a more purposeful and God-honoring calling than being used by our Lord to bring Truth and life-giving Light to those who have neither. Equally amazing is to be given the opportunity to see for myself how the Lord does just that.

Communicating effectively with any teenager is a challenge in itself. When your own teenage daughter is a sensitive, extremely introverted person who carries deeply hidden fears – resulting in lack of sleep, increased feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, etc. (prior to 3 important matric exams!) – the communication bar is raised significantly. It was like trying to speak to a deaf person without knowing sign language. It also challenged our parent-skills, and especially our faith, as we were simply unable to bring her significant emotional/spiritual relief on our own – despite fervent prayers and many tears (from my daughter ánd myself).

The faith-part did however play a key role in taking the initial step to find someone special – with the right tools and gifts – to reach our daughter in a very guarded, vulnerable space, and help her navigate out of this dark maize of increased heaviness. Through God’s most amazing provision, he led us to Hesta. With her sensitivity for the Holy Spirit, and beautiful gift in working with young people, she was able to lead my daughter (one patient session at a time) to a place of complete safety and trust, where the Lord’s light eventually started flooding into her unhealed memories. Her distorted truths were replaced by HIS truth and complete peace. Even joy!

Despite the enemy’s efforts to destroy the Lord’s specific plans for my daughter’s matric year (and beyond), His purposes for her prevailed, and through His grace and power alone, she was able to go from sleeping pills to six distinctions! God alone can accomplish that.

So, thank you and bless you, Hesta, for being the Lord’s hands and feet and following His Spirit’s lead. You are truly a maize runner of a different kind.
