About Human Element

Are we your humans?

Highest quality coaching

Our coaches are all proudly International Coaching Federation (ICF), ACC or PCC credential holders. Being ICF registered coaches means that we pursue and complete rigorous education and practice requirements that provide unquestioned legitimacy to our commitment to excellence in coaching.

We use the Integral Coaching methodology

We are Integral coaches, trained through UCT, Graduate School of Business, Center for coaching. Integral coaching considers multiple perspectives—physical, emotional, mental, somatic, relational, and spiritual—in the coaching process, delivering a long term impact aimed at creating deep, lasting change rather than quick fixes, helping clients evolve continuously.

We live what we coach

Coaching isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. Our commitment to continuous growth and personal development ensures that we bring the highest quality to every interaction. As coaches, we walk the talk, constantly doing the inner work needed to lead by example and inspire transformation in others.

Our work thrives when leaders are committed

Our coaching is most effective when we partner with leaders committed to personal growth. These individuals understand the value of a long-term investment in their development and are open to deep exploration. Together, we can create a powerful synergy that accelerates transformation.

Enneagram Level 1 & 2 Practitioner (IEQ9)

Advanced Diploma Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

With over 11 years of experience in physical and mental health transformation, Jaline combines her roots in Acupuncture with her coaching expertise, providing her with a deep understanding of every facet of human behaviour, wellness, and personal development. Known for her intuitive yet grounded approach, she empowers individuals and teams to uncover new perspectives, tackle core challenges, and connect with their purpose. Her calling is to empower and transform the hearts of as many leaders as possible, knowing that they will, in turn, inspire profound and lasting change in the lives of those they lead, helping humanity shift toward a brighter future.

What makes her human?

Jaline is grateful for her supportive husband, who keeps her grounded, and for her two teenage kids, whom she adores. When she’s not working, she daydreams about her next travel adventure: visiting monasteries in the Himalayas. She spent nine memorable years in Australia, where she enjoyed the freedom, attended regular meditation classes, and cherished the wildlife—especially the kookaburras and possums.

“Jaline is an outstanding leadership coach. She has an exceptional ability to help her coachees more fully understand themselves and how their behaviour is helping them or holding them back. She is also the best Enneagram coach I know. I personally have benefited from Jaline’s coaching, where in just a few coaching sessions she helped me uncover some crucial blind spots I needed to be aware of in order to grow as a leader.”

Why is our name

Human Element?

Our greatest passion and life’s calling is to ignite human growth and potential. To be human is to embody a complex blend of qualities that influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Our mission is to unlock and cultivate these five most profound qualities in humanity:

Consciousness

Consciousness is ever-changing, but shifting it to a higher gear requires a deliberate choice. Just like a phone’s operating system needs updates, humans must evolve their Inner Operating System to transform how they perceive and engage with the world.

Empathy

Empathy is our innate ability to connect and feel with others. However, difficult
experiences and the rush of life can harden our hearts, hindering empathy’s
natural flow. Deliberately cultivating empathy in the workplace fosters a more harmonious, productive, and supportive culture.

Creativity

Every human is uniquely creative, but our negative patterns can block our creative potential. Inner work helps us break free from these limitations, allowing new ideas and true creativity to emerge.

Resilience

Resilience is our inherent capacity to endure and overcome challenges. Reflecting on all we’ve conquered reveals just how strong and resilient we are, especially in times of change.

The pursuit of meaning and purpose

Happiness is temporary, but finding meaning and purpose gives deeper fulfilment. A clear sense of purpose helps us navigate challenges, offering strength and hope in difficult times.
