Meet Me Thursday👋
Hi, I’m Yvette - owner of Anavah SHEQ Consultants.
My journey into Health & Safety didn’t start in an office… it started on a gym floor.
I began as a personal trainer at Virgin Active, where I needed to complete my First Aid certification. What started as a requirement quickly became something more - I found myself genuinely interested in what it takes to help people in critical moments.
That curiosity led me further.
I went on to qualify as a Basic Ambulance Assistant (BAA) and worked with Netcare, as well as an off-terrain rescue company. Through those experiences, I was exposed not only to emergency response, but also to the health and safety side of operations.
And that’s where everything shifted.
I realised I didn’t just want to treat injuries…
I wanted to understand how to prevent them.
From there, I pursued my NEBOSH International Certification and specialised in International Oil & Gas handling. Living in a smaller town at the time, I leaned into supporting local businesses - helping them understand compliance, improve safety, and navigate legislation in a practical, human way.
Eventually, I made the move to Ballito.
Not just for a change of scenery - but to build something meaningful. To serve a growing community, support local businesses, and grow into the person I always knew I could be.
That’s how Anavah was born.
I’m not the kind of consultant who arrives in a full corporate suit - I show up as a real person, working alongside you to make compliance simple, structured, and manageable.
And if you ever do spot me out and about…
it’ll probably be on the road, taking on the hills of Ballito. - Yvette
Your Local Health & Safety Consultant
