Shake Media Hub · Our Story
Why Shake
exists.
It started as a question. It became a platform. It is now a purpose — to shine a light on what we have been sold, and offer something genuinely better in its place.
“We are not separate from nature. We are not above animals. We are not disconnected from source energy. When we choose with awareness — we remember who we are.”
Shake exists to change the way we choose. Not through fear. Not through shame. Not through the kind of overwhelming wellness noise that leaves you more confused than when you started.
Through awareness. Through education. Through the kind of honest, independent research that asks the questions most platforms — sponsored, commercialised, and incentivised — have stopped asking.
In a world driven by speed, convenience, and consumption, we pause — to question, to feel, and to choose consciously. Because every choice carries impact. On our bodies. On animals. On Gaia. On our frequency.
Why Shake Exists
We are all connected.
Every choice reflects that.
We Stand For Human Health
We know the human body is intelligent and responsive when supported, not overwhelmed. What we eat, wear, apply, and surround ourselves with matters — daily, cumulatively, profoundly. Our nervous system reacts. Our hormones respond to our environment. Our skin absorbs what we put on it. The body keeps score — and it keeps asking for better.
We stand for choices that support:
- Long-term wellbeing over short-term convenience
- Nourishment and balance over synthetic substitution
- Clarity over confusion — real information, plainly shared
- Full transparency about what’s inside the products we use daily
We Honour Animals
Animals are not commodities. They are sentient beings — with nervous systems, emotional lives, and an equal right to dignity. We honour animal-derived materials only when they are sourced with transparency, respect, and care. No suffering for convenience. No cruelty for style. This is a non-negotiable absolute at Shake — across every category, every brand, every recommendation.
- Cruelty-free practices, always
- Ethical treatment at every point of the supply chain
- Responsible and humane sourcing — verified, not assumed
We Honour Gaia
The planet is not a resource to be depleted. She is a living system — breathing, responding, remembering. The African bush taught me that long before any textbook did. The relationship between what we take and what we give back is not abstract — it is urgent, tangible, and personal. We look for brands that understand this relationship rather than simply marketing their way around it.
- Natural, biodegradable materials wherever possible
- Ethical, human-centred production that doesn’t extract at the cost of communities
- Regeneration over depletion — brands building for the long term
- Longevity over disposability — quality that outlasts the trend cycle
We Believe in Frequency & Coherence
Everything carries energy. Materials hold memory. Processes leave an imprint. The body feels what the mind may not yet understand. We must pair modern research with ancient wisdom — and honour intuition alongside information. Alignment matters in what we choose and how we live. Some of the most important things about a product cannot be measured in a laboratory — but the body knows.
We honour the intelligence already inside you.
“Conscious choice over blind consumption. Not perfection — awareness.”

Founder’s Story
Why I created
Shake.
It started as a question. I began noticing what we consume — without really questioning it. What we put on our skin. What we use to brush our teeth. What we wear. What we bring into our homes. And I realised something simple, but powerful: everything we choose has an impact.
I grew up in South Africa — shaped by Ubuntu, by storytelling, by a deep love for the African bush and the animals who move through it without apology. From childhood, I understood that we are part of something larger than ourselves. That the land is alive. That connection is not optional — it is who we are.
In my twenties I moved to the USA — my second home and family. I began studying to become a chiropractor. Then the Twin Towers fell, and my student visa was revoked overnight. A dream, interrupted. A direction, changed. I gathered what I could — certificates in iridology, naturopathy, homeopathy, Pilates — and carried it all forward.
Back in South Africa, I built a business importing ethnic hair and moved into retail and eCommerce. Then I paused to have my daughter — the most important thing I have ever done. She is sixteen now. We make face oils and body butters together. She is the reason this platform exists.
For fifteen years I worked in corporate South Africa — Financial Technology, payments and switching, one of the most demanding fields imaginable. I added enormous value. I was also retrenched four times. During that journey, stress and the pace of a corporate life took a physical toll. I faced skin cancer more than once. My body was telling me something my schedule refused to hear.
And then — I paused. Properly. For the first time in years.
I could have gone back. My experience and knowledge have real value in the corporate world. But that was not where my heart was. It was never going to be where my heart was. I needed a voice. A platform. A way to make things right — or at least point towards right — in a world that has been selling us products designed to profit, not to serve.
Shake is for my daughter. For her children. For every person who has ever stood in a shop aisle holding a product and wondered — is this actually good for me? — and had no real way to know.
We deserve better answers. Shake is where I’m building them.

Shake is not about perfection.
It is about awareness.
We don’t shame. We don’t force. We don’t follow trends blindly. We are not here to make you feel guilty about every product under your sink or in your wardrobe. We are here to give you better information — and trust you to do something with it.
We Invite Curiosity
Every page on Shake starts with a question — what is this actually made of, and what is it doing? Curiosity is the beginning of every conscious choice.
We Encourage Discernment
Not every claim is equal. Not every certification means what it says. We research independently and share what we find — including what brands choose not to tell you.
We Empower Choice
Small, conscious decisions create powerful ripple effects — on your health, your home, the animals around you, and the planet beneath your feet. One better choice at a time.
We Build Community
Ubuntu — I am because we are. Shake is not a lone voice. It is a gathering point for people who are tired of being sold to, and ready to choose differently together.
The Shake Standard
Four pillars. Every brand.
No exceptions.
These are the lenses through which every brand on Shake is investigated. Not a checklist — a set of values. Every brand must show genuine, provable commitment to all four.
Pillar One
People
Ethical production, fair labour, and human health — for the people who made it and the people who use it. We look at ingredient safety, manufacturing conditions, and what brands choose not to disclose.
Pillar Two
Animals
Cruelty-free practices and respect for all living beings. No animal testing. No exploitation. Animal cruelty is a non-negotiable absolute at Shake — in every category, without exception.
Pillar Three
Gaia
Mother Earth is a living system, not a resource to be managed. We look at materials, sourcing, packaging, and what a brand leaves behind — beyond the marketing language.
Pillar Four
Frequency
Products aligned with natural living, energetic coherence, and holistic wellbeing. The body knows things science hasn’t fully caught up with yet. We honour both the research and the resonance.
Our Commitment
What Shake promises
to always be.
Filter the noise — independent research, no paid editorial, no sponsored recommendations
Question the labels — because what isn’t said is often more important than what is
Verify with integrity — brands pass our pillars before they ever appear on these pages
Be transparent about commercial relationships — when we earn a commission, you will know
Honour all living beings — people, animals, and the planet that holds us all
Not follow trends blindly — just trust, research, and the body’s own intelligence
For Brands
For brands choosing to do
things differently.
We work with brands that care deeply — about human health, animals, and the planet. No noise. No paid placements. Only alignment, integrity, and intention.
If the right conversation is coming, the right brands will find us.

Be the change.
Choose consciously.
For my daughter. For her children. For every person who has ever stood in a shop aisle and wondered — is this actually good for me? You deserve better answers. This is where we build them.
