Intimacy and connection are at the
heart
of who we are
It’s the story of how we all came to be. It has a lively and productive vitality.
Despite this, any knowledge or touch with this aspect of ourselves is frequently shrouded in fear, shame, or misunderstanding. However, this does not have to be the case.
We are all affected by a lack of prioritization of mental wellbeing and sexual health education. However, our wish for you is to live into a new narrative by purposefully working on reclamation and rediscovery with time, information and expert counselling, from the comfort of your own home.

Story
“We, as humans, have a great responsibility to cultivate healthy relationships for ourselves and those connected to us.”
– Mindful Connections
Jonathan and Lounette Els noticed a great indifference within the guidance and support systems through their studies in Psychology and Social Sciences. At the outset, this was apparent in academic mentorship, but they began to open their eyes to the strain of relationships and connection outside of their fields of study. It was through this that they awakened their soul purpose of helping others build sustainable human connections through communication, counselling and research.
Jonathan and Lounette launched Mindful Connections in 2018 with the goal of gradually breaking the stigma and guilt that frequently surrounds sexual wellbeing and mental health.
Mindful Connections functions on the ethos of taking accountability for a healthier mindset by practically applying what we have learned to nurture communication and education in a safe space, both within our clients’ lives and our own business.

Happy wife
Lounette really helped us in our relationship by elucidating and articulating the origins of deeply embedded patterns of negative and self-defeating thinking we both developed during Covid. She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and constructively challenging when she needs to be.
I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of our negative perceptions immensely helpful & forward-thinking. Thank you Lounette for getting us back on track. All we needed was a mindful connection.
Anonymous
Lounette has been a Blessing in my life, I am very grateful that I met her. Talking to her offloaded a lot from my shoulder and helped sheds a lot of light in my life. I can highly recommend her for her kindness and support. She is also very professional and she made me very comfortable which helped me to be able to unpack with ease without fear of being judged.
Anonymous Couple
We had the best couple session with Lounette Els who gave us so much insight which helped us understand each other better, both as a couple and individually. Much appreciated Lounette, we are slowly getting better every day.
Lounette creates a relaxed, non-judgmental space where one can explore their challenges and obstacles safely and comfortably. Her knowledge on the subject and her approach to dealing with her patient is a rare find – one feels genuinely as if one is in good hands. I’m grateful for the experience and would highly recommend her.
Happy Client
Lounette has been so kind understanding, always happy to help and approachable. she has really helped me work through some heartbreak and learn how to trust myself. she created a safe non-judgemental space where I can offload all my thoughts and helped me navigate and understand them and situations I get stuck on, I don’t feel uneasy or too much to express anything, she helps me see things from different perspectives and provides practical things I can do to help myself move forward and stay positive!… Also I can ask her the weirdest questions and share my views with zero judgment! , worth your money and effort to improve any tough situation.
Connected Client
In our household, we have a very proactive approach to therapy. Everyone should be doing therapy in my opinion. But when we were facing some issues regarding intimacy (intimacy is more than bedroom gymnastics btw) in our relationship, we started seeking out someone who could help us and this is when Lounette was recommended to us by our couple’s therapist. Lounette has a very well designed and thought out initial process that allowed us to speak about our issues freely and openly. She has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and key advice to help us tackle our issues. Communication is KEY in a relationship and I would highly recommend seeking out someone who can help you with this. We are only at the beginning of this process but I would highly recommend Lounette and her business.
