In the heart of Bloemfontein, a hidden gem has
emerged, offering a transformative experience that
transcends traditional health solutions. The Ozone
Clinic, nestled in Westdene, stands as a beacon of
holistic well-being, spearheaded by the dynamic duo
of Sharine Barnard and Iolanda Sameiro Laranja. As part
of their multi-disciplinary team, they are now joined by the
expertise of Dr Melissa Grabe, a qualified nurse and a boardcertified
psychologist. The clinic has evolved into a one-stop
destination for those seeking a blend of specialised medical
treatments and aesthetic enhancements/solutions.
Sharine and Iolanda’s journey dates back to their childhood,
their paths crossing in Jan Kempdorp where they grew up
before becoming fully-fledged Kovsies and before diverging
into distinct career trajectories. Fast-forward to a year ago, and
these lifelong friends reunited to steer The Ozone Clinic into
a medically specialised clinic addressing body, mind and soul
– as their goal remains to help people live healthy, beautiful
lives. The end-goal will always be focussing on ensuring
people achieve optimal quality of life (QoL), irrespective of
what their medical challenges or needs/goals are.
With a friendship spanning 33 years, these two women have
embarked on the journey to drive Ozone into the future. With
over eight years dedicated to shaping the clinic, Sharine’s
vision aligns seamlessly with Iolanda’s background in the
pharmaceutical industry, setting the stage for a pioneering
venture in women’s health and empowerment.
At the core of The Ozone Clinic’s offerings is its medicalgrade
ozone sauna therapy, a treatment that seamlessly fuses
hypothermia and ozone. This powerful therapy facilitates the
absorption of 100% oxygen through the skin, penetrating
blood, lymph, and fat. The result? A natural, non-invasive
process that aids the body in combating viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and other pathogens while enhancing cellular
oxygenation – a holistic rejuvenation from the inside
out.
The Ozone Clinic is not merely about ozone therapy;
it’s a fully-fledged specialised medical and aesthetic
practice with a dedicated multi-disciplinary team of
professionals. Sharine, Iolanda, Dr Melissa Grabe, a
seasoned general practitioner specialising in aesthetic
medicine with a special interest in Dermatology, a
board-certified psychologist and Nurse Bontle join
forces starting 1 April.
Their dedicated team will offer, as mentioned, all of
the above and also including nutritional consultations
and lab testing, ensuring a well-rounded approach to
patient care.
The clinic’s venture into medical aesthetics – including
botox and fillers – would include a facial profile
