About

I'm a clinical registered dietitian eligible to practice in person in South Africa, the UK and Ireland, with extensive clinical, industry, and teaching experience, dedicated to transforming lives through integrative nutrition.  

I started BetterEat Nutrition more than 30 years ago as a way to move away from rigid diagnosis driven nutritional intervention and treatment and 'diet' handout based therapy. 

I use a blend of modalities,  including diagnostic assessment tools e.g  biochemical and nutrigenomic analysis and incorporate holistic health principles to first make a nutritional diagnosis before developing an individualised plan for each patient. 

This comprehensive protocol includes targeted nutrient therapy and expert prescription of bioactive food ingredients to promote healing, prevent or treat disease and optimise wellbeing.  

With over 30 years in practice, my journey started at the University of Stellenbosch and led to establishing a thriving multi-center practice in Cape Town with primary offices in Paarl. I became a recognized expert through media appearances, publications, and consulting work with major corporations like premium foods retailer Woolworths South Africa and leading private medical insurers.

After relocating to the UK in 2020 to support personal family circumstances, I worked in the NHS as a specialist diabetes and weight management dietitian. 

Since 2022, I work as Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, where I have been module lead and Course Director for the Improving Diabetes Care postgraduate program.  I continue to teach and work across Warwick Medical School. Despite the last few years of change, I've continued my international private practice working one-on-one with clients around the world.
