Janine has a Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree from the University of Natal, Durban, and the University of South Africa, majoring in English, Psychology and Political Science. She co-wrote a best-selling book in South Africa on the important topic of the right approach to health, fitness and motivation – as well as editing numerous self-help and motivation books. Janine is in the process of writing a Life Lessons ebook series as well as developing various resources that will support people’s personal development.

While working in the personal development field, Janine also branched out into business lecturing, coaching and mentoring, and designing learning material, and has worked for many large organisations in South Africa and New Zealand as a consultant and adviser. Janine is sought after by organisations for advice on leadership and strategy, and delivers customised workshops that receive glowing reviews. She co-founded and managed a very successful training company in South Africa for many years, called Reach Workshops, which provided the foundation for her Integro business in New Zealand.

The Reach business specialised in corporate courses designed to suit the unique staff development needs of each company. Clients included the Playhouse Theatre Company, Teleboss, Spar, KPMG and many more.

Janine appeared in numerous articles in leading women’s magazines and local newspapers in South Africa. Due to her engaging and witty presentation style, she was eagerly sought after as a keynote speaker and guest presenter at prestigious functions around the country.

Eager to present herself with a new challenge, at the end of 2002 Janine immigrated to New Zealand to begin a splendid adventure, and the Integro concept was born.
