About Me

My name is Janny, also known as Jam. I started this blog to stay focused on the joys in life. That’s where “Jam4Joy” comes from.

I love reading, writing, travelling, and being creative. 

I’ve worked as a medical doctor since 2008, mostly in primary health care. I’ve seen a lot of suffering but also witnessed a lot of strength. I’ve learnt a lot from my patients.

I enjoy playing the piano. Christmas carols are my favourite!

My family and I live in Ladybrand, a rural town in the Eastern Free State, South Africa.  We enjoy chilling, making food, and doing things to make ordinary life more fun. 

Through my experiences, travels, creative pursuits, and explorations in nutrition, nature, and various health modalities, I share thoughts and insights on how to reinfuse joy into everyday moments.

Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
