Joané van Oudtshoorn
Joané van Oudtshoorn graduated from Equine-Librium College in 2021 after completing the 4-year course in Veterinary Physiotherapy. She couldn’t wait to move to the beautiful Somerset West and start her career.
Animals have always been a major part of Joané’s life, as she grew up on a farm and knew that she would one day pursue a career in the veterinary rehabilitation field.
Joané enjoys working with an array of different animals, with a special interest in rehabilitation and conditioning of canine and equine athletes.
Joané is a very passionate, dedicated, and creative person.
In her free time, she enjoys horse riding, hiking, photography, and spending as much time with her fur-kids. Joané has also competed successfully in endurance and can’t wait to explore new beautiful routes.
Her hope is to positively impact the lives of every animal to help them reach their full potential!
Bianca Duthie
Growing up on a Karoo farm, Bianca developed a deep-rooted love for animals and their well-being. This passion led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Physiotherapy from Equine-Librium College, graduating in 2023. Bianca is eager to embark on a meaningful career as a veterinary physiotherapist.
Bianca takes a special interest in the rehabilitation, conditioning and performance of canine athletes and is particularly fascinated by the interplay between biomechanics, conditioning, and injury prevention. She enjoys participating in obedience, mantrailing, and detection sports with her dog, Summit.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Bianca enjoys exploring the outdoors. Hiking, running, camping, and horse-riding are among her favorite activities. Although her studies have taken priority in recent years, she actively competed in endurance and eventing.
