About Lerato

A calling from the ancestors, answered with purpose

Lerato is a traditionally trained and initiated sangoma practising in Bloemfontein, Free State. Called through ukuthwasa — the sacred initiation — she trained under Gogo Noxhanti, a respected elder healer in the Free State.

With eight years of practice, she combines deep ancestral wisdom with a calm, compassionate approach. Every consultation rests on the belief that true wellness is physical, spiritual and emotional at once.

"The ancestors do not call without reason. When they choose you, it is to bridge two worlds — the seen and the unseen — for the healing of your community."

She welcomes clients from every background — those seeking guidance through divination, relief through herbal medicine, protection through cleansing, or simply peace in reconnecting with their ancestors.

A recognised, accountable practice

Traditional healing is legally recognised in South Africa under the Traditional Health Practitioners Act 22 of 2007 — you are consulting a registered practitioner, not an unregulated operator.

The Act — key provisions

  • Statutory Council — the Interim Traditional Health Practitioners Council regulates practice nationwide.
  • Mandatory registration — practising healers must be registered to work legally.
  • Defined scope — divination, herbal medicine and spiritual healing are formally recognised.
  • Code of conduct — governing confidentiality, informed consent, hygiene and ethics.
  • Accountability — the Council investigates complaints and enforces standards.

What it means for you

  • A verified practitioner recognised under South African law.
  • Ethical standards protecting your rights, privacy and dignity.
  • Your right to consent, confidentiality, and to verify registration with the Council.
  • Complementary, not competitive — the Act encourages traditional and conventional care to work together.
✓ Registered with the Interim Traditional Health Practitioners Council of South Africa

Traditional healing is a complementary practice. Always consult a medical doctor for serious health conditions — traditional and conventional medicine can work together for your wellbeing.

Stories from people Lerato has walked with

Personal accounts shared with permission. Every journey is different — these are experiences, not guarantees.

"

She threw the bones and spoke of a great-grandfather our family had buried in silence. I performed the small ritual she described, and a peace I hadn't felt in years finally settled over me. One session — generations of healing.

"

I came carrying grief I couldn't name. Lerato was calm, dignified, and never once made a promise she couldn't keep. She guided me gently, alongside my own doctor, and I slowly came back to myself.

The dreams had kept me awake for months. She listened, interpreted what my ancestors were showing me, and gave me a way to honour them. For the first time in a long time, I slept.

I was raised in a very different tradition and arrived nervous. Lerato did not judge me or preach. She met me with respect and helped my whole family find our footing again.

"

She came to our new home, walked every room, and did a thorough cleansing. The house felt lighter afterwards, and our children settled. It simply became home.

I felt the calling for years and fought it. Lerato guided me through ukuthwasa with patience and honesty. It was the hardest, most grounding year of my life. I came through whole.
