From CEO to Sacred Healer: Mamello Phomane's Journey of Leadership and Spiritual Awakening

For over two decades, Mamello Phomane thrived in the world of corporate leadership—navigating boardrooms, shaping strategy, and leading one of Lesotho’s most recognized insurance brands.
She was known for her keen strategic mind, resilience, and ability to steady the ship even in turbulent times. As the first female Managing Director of Metropolitan Lesotho, she not only broke barriers but redefined leadership itself.
Yet, beneath the surface of corporate success, another calling whispered. A deeper, more ancient wisdom stirred within her—a knowing that leadership was not just about business acumen and profitability but about energy, alignment, and purpose.
This is the story of how Mamello Phomane transitioned from corporate executive to holistic leadership guide, spiritual transformation coach, and the founder of Ke Ngoan’a Balimo Healing and Wellness. It is a journey of returning to her truest self, embracing her spiritual gifts, and redefining what it means to lead in today’s world.
A Leader Rooted in Wisdom and Curiosity
Mamello’s journey into leadership began long before she stepped into executive roles. As a young girl growing up in Botha-Bothe, she was deeply curious about the world.
Books were her first mentors—her father’s words “read, speak, and increase your knowledge,” became a guiding mantra that shaped her understanding of leadership and personal evolution.
Though she once dreamed of becoming a nurse, drawn to the emotional depth and human connection of caregiving, life had other plans. She entered the corporate world, where she honed her leadership skills, embraced strategic thinking, and led teams with both grace and tenacity. But the heart of her leadership was always more than just numbers and strategy—it was about people, their stories, and their transformation.
Even as she climbed the corporate ladder, Mamello was a seeker—an energy healer, a light-bringer, and a student of deeper truths. Her leadership philosophy was never just about driving business performance; it was about infusing light into every space she entered.
Bridging Two Worlds: Corporate Leadership and Spiritual Mastery
Leadership in the corporate world is often associated with logic, structure, and measurable outcomes. But Mamello saw another dimension—one that many leaders ignore: energy, presence, and self-awareness.
Her own journey through leadership was not without challenges. As a female leader in a male-dominated industry, she had to navigate skepticism, resistance, and rapid organizational shifts. Covid-19 struck just 5 months into her tenure as MD, forcing her to pivot and lead through unprecedented uncertainty.
She understood that leadership was not just about making the right decisions—it was about emotional intelligence, adaptability, and the ability to hold space for people in difficult times.
As she deepened her own spiritual practice, Mamello realized that the same principles that governed spiritual transformation also applied to leadership:
- Self-awareness is the foundation—a leader who knows themselves can lead wit authenticity.
- Energy influences outcomes—the unseen forces in a room often determine success more than strategy alone.
- Transformation begins within—leaders who do their inner work naturally elevate those around them.
She began weaving these principles into her leadership, teaching her teams to step back, reflect, and approach work with intention and presence. She encouraged them to see beyond immediate results and align with a greater purpose.
But eventually, she knew it was time to go deeper.
Answering the Call: The Birth of Ke Ngoan’a Balimo Healing and Wellness
For years, Mamello had balanced two worlds—corporate leadership and spiritual exploration. But her soul called for full alignment.
She founded Ke Ngoana Balimo Healing and Wellness, a space dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom, embrace holistic transformation, and lead with authenticity.
Here, she brings together her years of corporate leadership experience with ancient spiritual teachings, offering a unique approach to leadership that integrates logic with intuition, structure with flow, and power with grace.
Through this work, she teaches leaders, professionals, and seekers to:
- Develop spiritual intelligence alongside business intelligence.
- Navigate challenges with emotional and energetic mastery.
- Embrace personal transformation as the key to impactful leadership.
Mamello’s journey is a testament to the fact that leadership is no longer just about titles and strategies. It is about wholeness, balance, and leading from a place of deep self-awareness.
