Zanthia Berkelmann is a Christian Coach, Mentor, Speaker, Trainer, and author. Born and raised in South Africa, she moved to Namibia at the age of 20, where she later met her husband, Walter. After spending 20 years in Namibia, they returned to South Africa to manage a business, living there for 8 years before emigrating to Germany in 2012. They currently reside in Aachen.
With over 35 years of faith shaping her purpose and achievements, Zanthia has a wealth of experience from both her spiritual journey and her career. She has devoted more than 15 years to church building, serving in various ministries in Cape Town, South Africa, and Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. Though she is no longer actively involved in church ministry, her time as an Elder and in other leadership roles has influenced her approach to life and guiding others.
Zanthia has also gained valuable insights from her more than 15 years in the business world, specifically related to the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs. These experiences have equipped her with important lessons and practical skills, which she now shares with others to help them grow, develop, and achieve their goals.
Her passion lies in helping women regain confidence after a failed business venture, career setback, or a difficult relationship. She also guides them in establishing a new point of focus for their lives, assisting them in creating a vision for where they want to be, even when clarity and direction seem out of reach. Her ultimate goal is to inspire women to live a life of abundance—body, soul, and spirit. With a marriage of 35 years, Zanthia is also a proud mother of three adult children and a grandmother to three grandchildren.
Her signature verse is:
"They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17:8
