An update on COVID-19 procedures for appointments – effective 23rd November 2021. With interstate borders open as of today & the risk of COVID-19 transmission increased, I have decided to provide appointments via telehealth only for at least the next 2 weeks. This is due to the high-risk clinical setting of the practice and requirements for N95 masks and face shields to be worn as per SA health guidelines. I believe this is the safest and most therapeutic option for myself and for my clients and will be reviewing this every two weeks, guided by SA health and vaccination rates moving closer towards 90%. Thank you for your understanding, I know this is a frustrating and uncomfortable time.

Mind-Full of Food Nutrition Counselling supports the development of internal awareness, allowing full engagement and presence in the richness of eating experiences. It is through this awareness that we can improve our relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviours relating to food, to best improve our health, wellbeing and connection with the body.

She holds a strong interest in mind-body health and as such, primarily sees individuals with food and nutrition concerns including: emotional eating, binge eating, body weight/shape/size pre-occupation & dissatisfaction and disordered eating, along with restrictive dieting tendencies. This approach is also applicable and useful in chronic disease management to improve blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol parameters and in increasing dietary variety.
