The Founder's Authority & Journey
The Founder's Authority & Journey
Passion to Inspire began in the heart of our founder, Marylyn (Lynn) Ndlela, at the age of 15. This vision, initially a non-profit idea, has since evolved in the last five years into a faith based, trauma-informed Telehealth practice, rooted in professional expertise and profound lived experience.
The entire practice is deeply inspired by the mandate of Isaiah 61:1-3 which is to bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and comfort all who mourn.
Lynn is an Occupational Therapist and a Certified Trauma-Informed Life Coach, currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology.
The Ministry-Clinical Cross-Pollination
The Ministry-Clinical Cross-Pollination
Called into Practice: Lynn's Postgraduate Diploma of Arts in Theology and five years of leadership in youth ministry provide a foundation of faith, compassion, and spiritual discernment.
Clinical Authority: Her experience as a Junior Occupational Therapist at U-Turn Homeless Ministries; a place of social justice and spiritual renewal is the living testimony of this cross-pollination. She has had the privilege of working in a faith based organisation and use clinical practice with no limits on how spirituality affects client outcomes. This highlights her ability to successfully integrate clinical, evidence-based recovery strategies within a spiritually and socially driven setting.
