Hanneke Truter

Hanneke Truter is a coach with a deep commitment to supporting women who struggle with, or wish to move beyond, feelings of unworthiness. She believes every woman can live with wholehearted self-acceptance, a clear sense of identity, and the ability to both give and receive love.

After a spiritual awakening in 1998, Hanneke began coaching and facilitating personal growth, with a focus on helping women move from guilt and shame into a stronger understanding of who they are. “I have discovered who I were created to be. I am at peace with myself and can appreciate and enjoy my uniqueness.”

Hanneke holds a Bachelor of Science degree in the Natural Sciences, with Statistics and Psychology as majors, and completed her Honours Degree in Statistics in 1988. She later earned her MSc in Statistics while working at the Institute of Biostatistics at the Medical Research Council.

Her professional background includes roles as Statistician at Framework Research, Lecturer in Statistics at UWC and Varsity College, Senior Scientist at CERSA (MRC), and Risk Analyst with Woolworths Financial Services. Since 2000, she has served at Beulah Retreat as a Wellness and Spiritual Care counsellor.

Her areas of expertise include psychological, clinical, biostatistical, and epidemiological research, and she has worked for several years with Women’s Health Forums. During her time in research, Hanneke authored and co-authored multiple publications and presented papers at SUGISA, SASSA, and AHSC & ESSA conferences. She also brings experience from the financial sector. Hanneke is currently a member of SIGNOPRO, supporting growth, trust, and ethical conduct in the services and skilled helping industries.
