An Unexplored life, is a life not worth living. Socrates

Robyn-Anne Pollard is a woman of infinite variety, one who can run with the wolves and shop with the poodles.  Trained in Broadcasting as a Multi camera Television producer and director, she is a practical and efficient, hands-on person and can be relied on to take a common-sense approach to most matters. Her life is met with enthusiasm and idealism and is best viewed as a continual adventure with many exciting lessons.

In 1989 Robyn-Anne believed the time had come to make major changes in her life, she left a promising career in Television, studied and practiced Reflexology & Aromatherapy, learnt various Meditation techniques, and moved her home to Cape Town.  

The study of Death and Dying (Thanatology) has always resonated with Robyn-Anne. She became a Life Line and ATIC Counsellor and went on to attend a live in workshop with Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (leading Swiss Psychiatrist on Death and Dying).  In 1993 when it became obvious that AIDS would become a disease that would wreak havoc in the lives of many millions of people, Robyn-Anne volunteered her management and co-ordination skills to assist with the establishment of Wola Nani, an agency that provides assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS.  She became the founding Chairman and a director of this well-known agency.

Her continued study of Death and Dying led her to the Tibetan Buddhist Centre.  It was here that Robyn-Anne finally felt that most of her questions could be answered.  1996 was another turning point when HH Dalai Lama visited Cape Town, Robyn-Anne was honoured and privileged to be part of HH entourage.   

Motivated by meeting the Dalai Lama her research escalated, she attended numerous workshops on spirituality and understanding self, Human Resources Management, Project and Time Management, Past Life Regressions, Aura Reading, The Art of Living (Breath work), Life after Life (Rob Nairn), Creative Visualisation and Kundalini to mention a few.
