My parents immigrated from Portugal to South Africa many years back, I was born in Johannesburg at the age of 12. My parents moved to the Kroonstad in the Free State where I still stay.

I am blessed with two sons that are married and a beautiful granddaughter.

I have been involved in business from a very early age, I have tried many different types of businesses as I have always loved the different challenges.

For about 30 plus years I was involved in the 3 Fashion branded clothing and shoes retail stores, during this period I also got involved in the property industry which I enjoy very much.

In this period my mom got extremely sick…  a friend of mine introduced me to Mannatech products and because I was so depressed to help my mom, I bought it for her, it did not take long for me to see major results.

During this period, my friend that told me about the Business Opportunity that Mannatech had to offer, which I turned her down for a whole year… I told her I loved the product but seriously did not have the time to do the business which I honestly did not have.

I literally felt like I was juggling a whole lot of balls and dropping many of them at times... It was crazy… I had gotten myself in this rat race and did not know how to get out of it I had a lot of commitments… I knew I had to slow down and smell the roses but really did not know how… I had to buy stock for the 3 stores, handle the staff and all their issues and stock theft as well as still run with the Properties and this also took a lot of my time.

My prayer and dream were that one day I will have a business that would not have staff, stock, etc… So I did try various network marketing business but with very little success… Now as much as I  dreamt one day to be free from this rat race, I also had a passion to empower ladies and to share life lessons that I had learnt through my challenges and life experiences which I badly want to share… as I believe that we all have a purpose on earth to fulfill.

After using the product for 1 year my friend together with her Upline invited me for coffee and once again invited me to join the business and this time telling that they were prepared to assist me with the business as I once again told them I really had no time. Their offer to assist me was the magic word and two thoughts came to mind… helping others that were in the same situation as my mom with their health and the second one was to make some extra income to buy more product for my mom and myself as I believe prevention is better than cure.

As I started this journey my business started to grow day by day… little did I know that this business would be the vehicle to achieving all my dreams… With added bonuses…

Two years later I could close all 3 stores… traveled to Mauritius, Maldives and Sicily on incentives all expenses paid… and have a massive team under me that I can mentor and empower them  to also make a difference in others… bringing hope to millions of people out there, may it be HEALTH WISE, FINANCIAL FREEDOM, TIME FREEDOM OR SELF-DEVELOPMENT… etc, etc.

I BELIEVE IN LOVE UNITY AND CARE… AND WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, IT CAN ACHIEVE!
