Hi, I’m Lydia!

I work at an unusual business in a not so unusual industry. I help people with solutions when they live too long, die too young or when they are unable to earn an income due to illness or injury. I'm a Financial Adviser at Thrive!

My clients come to me because I am interested in who you are, what blows your hair back and what you need to live your best possible life. I am passionate about giving peace of mind to the people that YOU love and care for.
 
I emigrated from South Africa in 2008 and appreciate the lifestyle and all the opportunities New Zealand offers. Through my own family experiences - losing my mum to cancer and my dad to a heart attack and stroke (both in their early 60's). I understand how unexpected events can impact your life - emotionally, physically and financially - and how the right advice and protection can change the outcome.
 
Having the right kind of financial advice can make all the difference to your financial success. I educate my clients, making sure that they are well informed and have options prior to any decision-making.

I specialise in:

• Taking care of your loved ones or your business when you can't.

• Helping you to maintain your lifestyle in retirement.

• Ensuring that when life throws you a curve ball, that you have choices.

• Quick, easy and stress-free claim experience when you need it.

• Giving you, and your loved ones certainty, control, cash flow and dignity when retirement, illness, injury or loss of life occurs.

 My 3 Golden Life Rules

• Always practice kindness and compassion.

• The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. It’s never too late!

• You are never too young, too old or too healthy. Live everyday with passion and purpose but also be prepared for all the ups and downs that comes with it.
