Hermanus Family Practice

Welcome Shani 🥰

Shani recently joined our team as second receptionist as Alicia is moving on to her behind the scenes magic she makes, so Misha and Shani will be our front of house girls.

Shani is also a poet and can in fact write poems on demand, follow her at

I asked a few questions for her, to share her favourite food, books, special quirks, and what she is afraid of:

My favourite food is definitely any Chinese/Asian-inspired dishes like egg fried rice or ramen 🙆‍♀️
My favourite books are The 40 Rules of Love by Elif Shafak and Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
I’m scared of fishing and fishing rods, and I don’t eat fish 😂
I have two left feet and can write poems in under 5 minutes 😇
I’m grossed out by spiders and any bugs — definitely not a farm girl 🥰

We already love having you with us! Keep an eye out for an invite for a poetry evening and clothing exchange 🫶🏼
