Led by a Pioneer in Aesthetic Recovery: Dr Pertunia
Our founder, Dr Pertunia Mokoena—known as Dr Pert—is not just a qualified aesthetic doctor. She is a sculptor of dreams and confidence. With a legacy that stretches beyond clinical spaces into the hearts of women who’ve transformed their lives under her care, Dr Pert’s vision shapes every element of the recovery experience.
Her belief is clear: Recovery must be as intentional and elegant as the procedure itself. She has trained and mentored our team to embody this philosophy.
Meet Our Core Team Members
Post-Op Nurses
With professional qualifications in post-surgical and aesthetic recovery care, our nursing team administers medication, monitors vitals, manages drainage tubes, and performs wound dressing changes. More than just technical caregivers, they are also confidants and listeners who understand the vulnerable state patients may be in after surgery.
Wellness Coordinators
These experts ensure your mental and emotional state is prioritized. From offering guided meditations and journaling prompts to check-in chats and affirmation-building exercises, our wellness coordinators integrate self-care into your recovery journey.
Hospitality & Housekeeping Crew
It’s the little things that count—your favorite tea, fresh linen, clean surroundings, and meals that meet your dietary requirements. Our hospitality staff treats every guest as royalty, maintaining a five-star standard in an Afro-luxury setting.
Nutritionist & Chef Collaboration
Recovery is impossible without nourishment. Our chef collaborates closely with a registered nutritionist to design menus that support healing, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity.
Transportation & Security Staff
Our in-house drivers and security staff are trained in client confidentiality and comfort. Whether you’re being transported from a clinic or headed home, you’ll feel secure, dignified, and respected.
A Family That Heals Together
At Dr Pert Recovery House, we consider our team a family—and you become part of that family the moment you walk through our doors. The bonds we form with our guests don’t end when you check out; many of our clients stay in touch, recommend us to friends, and return for future treatments or stays.
This culture of compassion is deliberate. It stems from our belief that healing thrives in an environment of trust, love, and human connection.
Continuous Training & Development
We invest in our people through:
- Monthly workshops on new surgical techniques and recovery protocols
- Soft skills training (empathy, non-verbal communication, active listening)
- Partnerships with aesthetic doctors, clinics, and recovery specialists
- Certifications in CPR, infection control, patient rights, and aftercare ethics
Our staff is not only up-to-date with the latest medical guidelines but also in tune with how patients feel, what they fear, and what they need to heal fully.
Language, Culture & Afro-Centered Healing
Our team understands the nuances of African beauty standards, body pride, and cultural healing practices. That’s why you’ll find:
- Multilingual team members who can assist in English, isiZulu, Setswana, Sesotho, and more
- Indigenous teas, music, and scents to calm your soul
- A genuine respect for spiritual and cultural rituals in your recovery journey
We celebrate you in your fullness—not just as a patient but as a person with a rich story, heritage, and future.
