Neil & Helena live on a farm in Oudtshoorn, South Africa. They have always been entrepreneurial, striving to create their own wealth instead of working for a salary.

Neil: “I always had the dream to farm although I didn’t grow up on a farm and I was fortunate to make this dream come true”.

Helena studied a B.Econ degree at Stellenbosch University and then a diploma in Fashion Design. She started her own home enterprise in Jeffreys Bay, designing and making clothes for her own & other boutiques.

After they got married, Helena joined Neil with the farming business. They established the biggest ostrich hatchery in the world at the time (1994 – 2006), where they contract incubated and marketed chicks for 50 farmers.

Not wanting all their eggs in one basket, they expanded and diversified their farming enterprise to include a registered Jersey Dairy Herd, had their own flock of ostrich breeding birds, rearing of ostrich chicks and fodder production. They also ventured into a restaurant partnership and started a Plant Nursery on their farm.

At this busy time in their lives a friend came to introduce them to the Mannatech Opportunity. “My friend used terms like; time freedom, residual income, travelling, having fun and meeting nice people which sounded almost unreal, but at the same time appealing to us”, says Helena

Realizing that the conventional business model that they were using to create wealth was very high risk & time consuming, they started building their Mannatech business part time.

“Never did we imagine how much value it would add to our lives!”

“In Mannatech we found a vehicle that brought us Optimal Health, Passive Income and incredible Self-development! With the support of our upline leaders we’ve built a team of associates and developed leaders who are building their own successful teams.”

Neil & Helena have built up a residual income and enjoy travelling to many different destinations while bringing hope to others.

They say their Mission is; “to help more people to acquire Health, Wealth and the Freedom to Prosper to enjoy life to the fullest!”
