OUR STORY

Both of these suppliers pride themselves in supplying high quality, superior grade, non-gmo, allergen-free clean products.

These are fantastic quality supplements and Invest in Health is exhilarated to be able to supply them to the South African market!

Judy Smit is a qualified Industrial Engineer. She studied at the University of Pretoria and started working as an Engineer in 2009.

She lives in Pretoria East with her husband and 3 children (a boy born in 2012, and 2 girls born in 2014 and 2017.

Her first child was born in April 2012. Being pregnant and wanting the absolute best for your unborn baby, was what brought to life the gradual mind shift to an "awakened" state and being much more sensitive to diet, the environment and medication. A much healthier and natural way of living was born with this baby which included a healthy diet and quality natural homeopathic medication as well as medical care providers.

Judy is very passionate about anything natural, including birth, breastfeeding, cloth nappies, baby wearing, natural healing, alternative thinking etc. She is fascinated about the body’s amazing abilities to heal itself and believes in continuous learning. She is also still very excited about this venture and delighted to be working with her sister, which is also her only sibling and best friend!

Judy has since resigned from the professional field as engineer. She now homeschools her 3 children and has time to pursue her ultimate past-time activity, which is horse riding. She is actively competing in the showjumping field again and loving every second. She also has a newfound respect for life and tries to make a point of being more aware and living in the moment. Basically making sure every second counts, because nobody knows what tomorrow may bring…
