Therapists involved in the WaterShed

extensive support for the experience of a lifetime

Watershed Health grew out of the success of Klear Lifestyle Management which was established in Knysna in 2003 by Kate Forbes. When Klear Lifestyle Management outgrew its location, the wellness centre was relocated from busy downtown Knysna to the scenic Thesen Island and renamed Watershed Health. By locating Watershed Health in the Boatshed on the tranquil Thesen Island, the centre is able to offer a fully comprehensive residential programme in partnership with the four star Lofts Boutique Hotel.

Today Watershed Health boasts an extensive range of medical practioners and naturapaths, thus offering a complete and holistic approach to health and lifestyle management.
