Genine Raats

Notes

Growing up I participated in school eisteddfods and obtained several A++ for singing. I then furthered my singing career and sang professionally at weddings, shows, and festivals, with bands and solo, and did a Gospel tour in Europe performing at various Churches. Through my teenage years and into my 20's I was a professional singer/performer at various events, and shows and won numerous awards in local and national competitions. I was also featured as a Field Reporter (Speaking featured lead role) on an ongoing TV commercial on SABC3 (South African Broadcasting Commission) for Russel's furniture stores presenting their offers to viewers. The production company was Libra Vision in Cape Town, South Africa, and appeared around 2000-2002. I represented South Africa in 1998 at the World Championships of the Performing Arts in Los Angeles, USA, and obtained a bronze medal for solo singing in the Contemporary music category. I had my son at age 28 and then worked full time in Corporate and climbed the corporate ladder into Leadership roles. I have over 20 years of experience in corporate sales and customer service roles from insurance to property, to car dealerships of which the last 9 years were in Nursing Recruitment Management roles leading teams of Nursing Recruitment Consultants in South Africa and more recently Australia when Medacs Healthcare offered me a Leadership role in Sydney. My partner, my son, and I immigrated to Sydney in 2017. I then started studying Hypnosis, Psychotherapy, and Neuro Linguistic Programming in my spare time (and on the train to work) and opened EcoMindz Clinical Hypnotherapy in 2021 where I have helped hundreds of people thus far to overcome challenges like anxiety, panic attacks, past trauma, fears & phobias, dependencies, and chronic pain, etc. I love walking in nature, camping with my family, and learning and reading about human potential, the brain, psychology, lucid dreaming, and spiritualism.
