As we count down the final few weeks of 2024 with you, the focus shifts to a season filled with many things to look forward to. And of course that long-awaited holiday. Mentally, you might already be there, but with a to-do list growing and growing, the end isn’t quite in sight.
Take a little break and let us share our latest news with you and then think about your own journey. What is it that we can help you with now that will boost your skin during the weeks and months to come?
After all, amazing holiday skin starts right now. Let’s get to it.
Our amazing nurse, Liana, celebrated her birthday recently with a special getaway. And what’s more happy and healing than a trip up the West Coast to see the annual spring flowers?
We are so proud to introduce Dr Carlien Neethling to the Century City branch. An outdoor enthusiast who finds joy in running and hiking, Dr Carlien is also a proud mommy of two adorable Schnauzers. She cherishes the simplicity of life and the happiness it brings. We love the ethos she lives by: “You only have two homes. Earth and your body. Look after both.”
Dr Carlien is deeply passionate about nutrition and gut health, advocating for a holistic approach to well-being. Her adventurous spirit, reflected in her love for nature and physical activities, is complemented by her creativity and passion for healthy living, as seen in her love for cooking and baking.
Dr Ross ran the Cape Town Marathon in October. It was his first marathon, and we are so proud of him and his achievement.
Speaking of energetic doctors, Dr Liz – always one to keep active – had the best time on holiday in the Kruger National Park recently with her partner Rory. Sadly, she suffered a small cycling accident and broke her collarbone. However, we’re thrilled to have her back at the branch and in one healthy piece.
Khanyi, our branch co-leader, recently celebrated the beautiful Xhosa tradition of Ulwamkelo Lwabayeni (Welcoming of the Groom).
This vibrant ceremony marks the formal introduction of the groom to his in-laws and community, filled with joy, music, and dancing. It's a meaningful celebration of love and family, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.
Later in December, Khanyi will also be celebrating her amaBhaso, a special Xhosa bridal shower, where her family will throw a party and gift her with essential items to help build her new home.
On Saturday, 23 November, the Cape Region gathered to celebrate another year filled with laughter, learning, success and meaningful connections.
The vibrant lunchtime affair was hosted at the elegant Leopards Leap in Franschhoek, where our Western Cape branches enjoyed a day of indulgence in a beautiful setting, reflecting on achievements and looking ahead to future opportunities.
It was a day that truly captured the spirit of the year and the strong bond within our community.
As the festive season approaches and Cape Town basks in the summer sunshine, it’s the perfect time to get your skin, body and health ready for the holidays. What’s on your to-do list before you head into holiday mode? Let us help turn those goals into reality.
