Before Maxine Immelman could help others release inherited fear, scarcity, guilt and limitation, she first had to understand the roots beneath her own feet.

Born into four family lines—Immelman, le Roux, Jennings and van Vuuren—Maxine's childhood unfolded between a dentist's consulting rooms, a plant physiologist grandmother's abundant garden, seaside holidays, books, animals, complicated homes and losses that demanded she grow up far too quickly.

From the little girl creating fairy worlds among the irises to the woman who reclaimed her creativity, purpose and right to live fully, this deeply personal memoir explores inherited suffering, family silence, trauma, resilience and conscious choice.

Woven through the story are gentle reflections and self-care practices that invite readers to recognise inherited beliefs, release burdens that were never theirs to carry and return to the present moment.

The Roots Beneath My Feet is an invitation to stop postponing joy, reclaim your power and become fully ALIVE again.

You are not the repetition of your bloodline. You are the place where choice enters it.

Your dog is always communicating — through behaviour, posture, movement, expression, nervous-system responses, health changes and the energy shared between you.

Decoding the Language of Dogs helps guardians look beyond obedience and understand what their dog may truly be trying to express.

This compassionate and practical guide explores canine body language, stress and survival responses, emotional wellbeing, pain-related behaviour, co-regulation, energetic communication and the deeper human–dog bond.

Readers will learn to recognise subtle signals, respond with greater awareness and build a calmer, safer and more trusting relationship with the dog in front of them.

The interactive digital edition includes a clickable Table of Contents, chapter navigation, PDF bookmarks and active resource links.
