At 55, I made a brave decision — to start over. After a deeply personal season and a struggle with depression, Frans and I packed up our life in Port Elizabeth and moved to Bloemfontein. I had been a lecturer at Nelson Mandela University, teaching Accounting. But something had to change.

It took a full year to gather the courage to begin again. And that is where JUSTBLiSS was born — not just as a business, but as a way to heal, simplify life, and return to what truly matters. Natural living, daily rituals, and caring for the whole self.

Today, JUSTBLiSS is a reflection of that journey — built on resilience, honesty, and the belief that it is never too late to start again.
