WELCOME!
Thanks for visiting our community network and local Cape Town directory of Health Practitioners.

A Community Network
We are a community network of conscious and connected healthcare professionals. We believe in collaboration and support each other in enhancing our individual health and wellbeing with the aim of leading from behind. We are dedicated to making a difference in people's lives through quality service delivery, personal growth and professional development. 

For any of your healthcare needs, our members can help you to set clear goals, implement innovative solutions and unlock your healthy potential. 

Founders

Cath Valentine
After working 10 years in the Public Service as an Occupational Therapist, Cath entered the Private Sector in 2017. Having worked as part of a multidisciplinary team for many years, she found it rather lonely and isolated trying to establish a healthcare business on her own.
​Lynne Hogan
Lynne has previously worked for Cape Mental Health, as a schools counsellor and recently finished her Clinical Social Work Masters. In 2017 she entered into practice as a therapist promoting mental health and mindfulness. She too felt a lack of connection and collaboration with other professionals in the community. 
Having previously worked together in the Public sector for a short  time, Cath and Lynne discussed creating a meeting place where professionals of different disciplines and backgrounds could come together to learn from and support one another.  A platform to build relationships between like-minded professionals working within the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
​
The Mindful Living Health Practitioners Network held its first meeting in June 2017. From that point the network has grown from strength to strength providing a nurturing space for health professionals to meet together with open minds. Together we explore our strengths as individuals in a non-threatening and non-competitive environment.

​Cath and Lynne are passionate about working together collaboratively in healthcare, recognising the unique strengths and contributions each member of a healthcare team or body have to offer in building a happy, healthy and functional society. ​

Meetings

Meetings for Health Practitioners take place approximately every 6 weeks at Melomed Tokai. 

We get together on a Friday morning from 8-9:30am, starting with introductions, sharing of our expertise, areas of interest and special skills. 

A topic of interest related to professional or personal development of the health practitioner is presented, followed by discussion and questions.

We end the morning by handing out our lucky prizes donated by practitioners from within the network. These prizes offer opportunities allow us to take care of ourselves (for a change) and experience the benefits of the various products or services other practitioners have to offer. 

This is a multi-disciplinary network which welcomes medical, alternative and complimentary practitioners. The aim is to build a culture of mutual understanding and a whole health approach into our individual practices. 

All practitioners working in the healthcare industry are welcome to our meetings. We would love to welcome you to our network.
