African Summer Spa is turning a new leaf and starting a new season, while still staying the same.

Biancé Janse van Vuuren is the new owner of this well-established Spa in Hoedspruit told Kruger2Canyon that she has always been inspired to help others, and this was the reason she pursued a career in skin and beauty therapy.

Biancé is a born and bred Hoedspruit-girl and she is thrilled to be back ‘home’ after completing her studies at ISA Carstens Somatology in Pretoria. Biancé has a love for the community of Hoedspruit and the fact that Hoedspruiters help one another and always stand together.

‘It is my passion to assist my clients with issues they may be having. When something is troubling them health or beauty-wise, to be able to provide them with a holistic solution is extremely satisfying,’ says Biancé with confidence.

Biancé also likes to give clients homecare advice so that they can further benefit from the focused spa treatment when they return home. She explained that ‘often, skin issues can be solved with diet and not only through the application of skin products because she rightly explains you are what you eat.’

The opportunity to purchase African Summer Spa was a ‘Godsend’ says Biancé. It was after a holiday job at the Spa that Biancé and Thelma Van Reenen Mathewson (the previous owner of African Summer Spa) agreed that Biancé’s work ethic made her the ideal person to take over the reins.

Biancé says it is a great honour for her to be entrusted with a spa of such a high calibre. She accepts that it will take tenacity, extremely hard work, and commitment, but she says she was raised to ‘work hard for what she wants to achieve and to always put others first.

‘My vision is always to help others to help themselves,’ she ends.
