Petro BeauvaisMedical Technologist Congratulations to Petro Beauvais from Port Elizabeth, the Eastern Cape for being Nominated as a Top 100 SA Difference Maker. Petro Beauvais says in her own words: “I am overwhelmed by this compliment. Like so many people out there I help people without expecting any form of recognition. I love what I do, this is my passion. When looking at the magnificent Change Makers already being nominated on this platform, I would never have imagined to be nominated. It truly is an honour and this makes me think that through this platform I can reach more people with the passion I have to change lives making a difference”. “My name is Dalene Richter. I have nominated Petro Beauvais as a Top 100 SA Difference maker because of the huge impact she had made in my life. I met Petro in Cape Town in 2005 at a workshop; Petro is a qualified Medical Technologist and is helping people through healthy lifestyle changes, as well as natural medicine to survive and win the disease, such as cancer. In 2008 I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. I contacted Petro and she gave me the greatest advice on how to incorporate a healthy lifestyle as well as implementing a new lifestyle with the Annique Rooibos tea selection, Shake’s & supplements. She guided me to make lifestyle changes with the treatment I get; and also provided a health treatment plan. What I love about Petro is that she did not only guided and helped me with this, she made sure on a daily basis through this journey that I was motivated and looked after. The results were amazing”. I am a retired Medical Technologist. During the last two years in the laboratory, I investigated the golden rule that “prevention is better than cure”; and then realised that 80% of what I was confronted with during the 37 years in the laboratory, was part of lifestyle diseases. I also joined Annique as a consultant because their products, philosophy as well as their network and ethos, complimented what I had in mind – namely better health for everybody at affordable prices. Their system also gave me the |
opportunity to develop presentation skills (something which I totally lacked because of the isolation of my working conditions!!)
The day I closed the lab door behind me, I opened the door to my new business. At heart I will always be a Medical Technologist but with a different vision and mission: To:-
1. Use my knowledge and insight to make integrated health care an accepted norm in South Africa.
2. Share information in an understandable manner, prevent disease as far as possible and know when to turn to conventional medicine.
