All about Cape Lux Travels - Jean Wethmar

What are your passions? What makes your heart sing? Is it décor, or fashion?

Are you a foodie gourmand? A fitness guru?

I discovered my passions, travelling and decor, and food early in life. I've always had a keen eye for attention to detail.
 I'm a mum to gorgeous daughters, have a very special granddaughter, Willow, and my husband enjoys golf.
 I don't!  I enjoy travelling and meeting new friends. 

Discovering Vietnam three years ago 
totally filled my heart with an unexplained completion! 
I had arrived! I had found my ‘eureka’! 
Those French colonial buildings, the soft white beach sand, the five star resorts, 
and people who ooze a certain charm.
Not to mention the food.. mmm! 

I formed an association with Luxury Travel Vietnam,
 Tour Operators based in Hanoi, fully registered, and privately owned. 
Together, we put the ‘Timeless charm’ into Vietnam.  
We are the only Tour Operator in Vietnam, Cambodia 
who offer fully escorted concierge services.

‘‘Recover, Renew, Reflect, Regain, Regrow, Reconnect, Relax’’

About Elsabe De Wet

Health and wellness is available to everyone if you commit to achieve it. I always use to think that I was a health conscious individual, but it was not until my mum suddenly died two years ago of cancer, that it became my war cry!

 In 2009 at the prime age of almost 50, I pursued to develop my career as a personal trainer. I had an amazing foundation at ‘My Fitness Studio’ a boutique studio where I received support, mentoring and ongoing training in multiple areas. This is where I developed a keen interest in the amazing benefits of practicing Pilates.

To gain experience I completed my Matwork One training and led sessions at ‘My Fitness Studio’ as well as catering to predominantly male clients at ‘Tattersall Gym’ in the CBD. In a fast paced world where time is of the essence,

I always stride to provide my clients with the most effective workout in the time frame they allocate. To do this I completed the QPEC Bosu Training, Advanced Matwork and small apparatus training which has assisted me with providing multi-facet training focusing on postural, core and strength training as well as a Course In Pathologies and Injuries.

 I am excited to announce that I have opened my own studio and provide specialized, personalized training from home, where my passion is to help women (and men) empower themselves mentally and physically in order to overcome life’s challenges.

“The future is bright and I will continually focus on developing my skills”
