THIS IS KADESH
ABOUT KADESH
Kadesh Abundant Life Mission (KALM) is a movement which encourages persons to explore new ways of thinking and releasing limiting beliefs which negatively impact their future and that of generations to come. In the Bible, Kadesh was a crucial oasis and encampment in the wilderness during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, serving as their base for much of the 40 years of wandering. It was the place from which the spies were sent into Canaan to assess the land and its potential for their inhabitation. The mindset and perspectives of the majority of spies had grave consequences for them and their generations. Only Joshua and Caleb had a favourable report thereby guaranteeing them access to the Promised Land. All the spies had the same stimulus, but only Joshua and Caleb were able to perceive and focus on the beauty of the land and rested on the Lord's promises while the other spies focused only on the obstacles. Kadesh symbolizes a place of rest/renewal (being an oasis and campsite) and a pivotal place from which decisions are made which can shape destinies and the future of generations. KALM uses a holistic approach and seeks to educate, engage, equip and empower persons to recognize their God-given potential, shift negative and limiting mindsets, heal hurts and traumas and provide necessary tools at this threshold between slavery of any kind and the divine destiny of abundant life. Our mission is transformation through intentional and compassionate exploration, education, engagement and empowerment.
Shift your mindset. Shift your faith. Shift your approach. Shift your life.

The Journey
Shuana is a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser. She is a daughter of the Most High God who is learning and growing each day.
This initiative of Kadesh was first birthed in a vision about 25 years ago.
Having experienced many challenges along her journey including indecent assault, depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, infertility and dysfunctional and emotionally taxing relationships, Shuana now uses her platform and various skillsets to help others own their story and heal and flourish in each stage of life.
Through structured therapy, the support of her “village" and the grace of God, she is here today as a testimony that your challenges do not dictate your destiny and that our story forms part of our individual journey which can enhance rather than hinder the unique light we are called to shine.
ABOUT
Her Superpower
Shuana is a multi-talented light in the legal, psychotherapeutic, religious, media and entertainment industries. Her superpower is being able to connect and engage effectively with a variety of audiences through her witty, articulate and authentic communication style and her effortless navigation between the polished English language and our colourful vernacular as required.
She allows each person to feel seen, heard and understood as she identifies their beauty and intrinsic value while challenging them to grow and evolve into the best version of themselves. Her calm confidence, eye for detail and spirit of excellence are beautifully complemented by her effervescent personality, gracious candor and her own willingness to grow and evolve while serving others. For Shuana, her platform is a privilege which she does not take for granted and she considers each engagement a sacred opportunity to bring grace, light, clarity and joy into the lives of others.
It's time to release limiting beliefs and recognize your God-given potential through abundant life development, holistic education and compassionate mentorship.
