The love of gardening and having fun being creative with flowers became my existence. Growing up on a Karoo farm, having the freedom of a huge garden had been my childhood.

Living on a farm in Malmesbury with two farm gardens, planted with all the foliage that the climate could nurture, had to develop into a love and passion for flowers and foliage. My favourite tree being the Londen Plane tree, with the most beautiful leaves, dressing up each spring in a beautiful lime green coat for summer. Gardening developed into an industry doing the local weddings and functions of friends and clients.

Moving to Melkbosstrand on the West coast, made me realise how privileged my life on the farm had been. But with what the sea climate allows green fingers, I am still having fun with flowers, sharing my experience through floristry, wedding and corporate flowers.

Every day sharing flowers with everyone who enjoys flowers through their homes. Wedding flowers is my passion, to see a plan and creative ideas coming together for a memory of a life time, is so fulfilling and exciting. Creative brides are the ultimate, together we present an original ambience and atmosphere.

 SPA MENU

The [W]holistic Co . Spa was founded during lock down level 4 of the corona virus by Jana Louw when all top spas had to close and the wellness industry were unable to function under normal conditions. The company started off as a mobile concept in collaboration with other professionals within the spa and beauty trade to support each other through the world pandemic. It was created to promote job creation and unity.

About the Founder and Director

Jana is a well known internationally qualified aesthetician that has been working within the spa, wellness and beauty industry for approximately 19 years. She has obtained her Itec, Cibtac and Cidesco qualifications. During her foundation period of building experience she worked onboard Disney Magic Cruise liners and at a few other top spas while free-lancing as a stylist and make-up artist on both local and international film and still productions and completed catalogue work for top fashion labels. She wanted to build up knowledge and experience within the aesthetic medical field and worked alongside world renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeons within the new Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital where she worked with laser, fat freezing and radio frequency devices and tested the efficacy and results. During this time she also treated patients with a radio frequency face and body micro-needling device called The Profound (as seen on Dr OZ) in and out of theater. She worked at Dr Maresky’s (double American Board Certified) practice and treated his patients prior to and post operations to tighten and strengthen the skin with a combination of medical grade micro-needling and ZO Skin Health chemical peels and soon after she became the South African master trainer for [Comfort Zone], /Skin Regimen/ and Decleor Paris, providing world class training to award winning top spa’s through out South Africa. When lock down happened The [W]holistic Co. was founded as an opportunity to use her knowledge and expertise to uplift the industry, to promote job creation and to treat clients with the main treatment focus on destressing, detoxification and ant-aging. This started as a mobile concept that has grown into a spa concept.

“My passion for science-based formulas drives me. I only select and partner with wellness partners and brands that share the same philosophy and vision. I love botanical extracts, pure ingredients and amazing delivery systems. It is important that clinical trials has been done and that it can be backed up. I want to see results! With so many different professional skincare brands and false advertising on the market it is difficult to choose. I do a lot of research before I choose professional brands to partner with. Science and Technology is what truly makes a brand phenomenal and we appreciate the expertise and dedication that is behind the development of each product. We use only the best quality products available while also being conscious about the environment. We do things differently at our spa, our concept is unique as we focus on slowing down aging ” Jana Louw (Founder and Director)

Our [W]holistic Approach

We believe that by considering the WHOLE [Mind, Body and Soul] combined with our expert treatment plans and homecare, one can successfully slow down the signs and effects of ageing. We combine medical grade products with world class treatments and a home care treatment plan to reach your ultimate skincare and wellness goals. Taking great care of your skin, mind, body and soul is important to us. 

We try to support local as much as possible and keep our pricing competitive. We strive to be the best we can to create a positive change [and hopefully a ripple effect] in all the lives that we touch.

Zahn Rust was born in Cape Town and completed her studies at Stellenbosch University in 2012 , graduating with a masters degree in Fine Art. She spent 6 years working with Okasie in Stellenbosch where she fell in love with flowers.

Bringing me immense peace and joy as I work to create the perfect floral arrangement for your special occasion. I hope to share my heart, creativity and truth with every person I encounter on this journey.” – Zahn Rust, founder of Bulb

The farm Contreberg was established in the early 1800’s to support passing ships of the then Dutch East Indian Company producing fresh crops and grazing for animals. The farm remained in the Pretorius Versfeld family over the last few decades before the now 352 ha was subdivided and entrusted to the Pretorius family in 2016.

Hoogeland Wedding and Function venue, on top of the picturesque town, Paarl, with breathtaking views from the wooden decks and the calming sound of cascading water.  A little piece of heaven waiting for you to visit.

This magnificent venue features some options for you to plan your dream wedding or celebration. There is a covered deck available with beautiful mountain views and a covered romantic chapel steps away from the reception area.

There are several seat pocket areas on a lush lawn surrounded with nature, views over Paarl, nature sounds, trees, scrubs, and fynbos, making this a photographer's dream with endless backdrops of the mountains and the waterfall in the main venue area. This leads you to a surprise, a dreamy forest. Endless backdrops for the photographer enabling them to be creative.

What makes this even more attractive and cost-effective is the accommodation offered on this sanctuary. A romantic and stylish honeymoon suite in the main building where you wake up in the morning with endless uninterrupted views of the picturesque town Paarl and surrounding areas. There is a little wooden cabin (very suitable for the guys getting ready) also in the venue and nature area available for optional accommodation.

With several romantic walkways surrounded with nature leading you to the main venue, where you enter this area and it takes your breath away.  A cascading waterfall inviting you to forget about everything and you can just absorb this beauty and sounds of the calming waterfall. 

This is the venue you would love to book for your wedding. You can even be hosting your next celebration in nature, a sanctuary where you can linger for hours with only nature surrounding you. We were honoured to share these moments with a couple on a recent intimate wedding.
