Health without Compromise

I am a qualified Clinical Dietitian with 20 years of Private Practice experience. My story starts long before that though when at the age of 11 yrs old, I was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. From that day onwards, regular fingerpicking to test my blood sugar levels, multiple injections, a very strict diet and exercise routine and a fear of losing my life, became my daily reality. The diet that was prescribed to me, which included tedious weighing and measuring of portions and above all not being allowed most of the things a normal teenager would like (and want!) to eat. Soon I started experimenting with foods (… the wrong ones I must add) and the effect on my insulin dosages and glucose readings. I challenged the professionals on the status quo and decided to study further in the nutritional science field to see if there was a way around the restrictive and often “Not Allowed!” food labels that were associated with my condition. I was determined to find a way to incorporate my favourite foods into my diet as before, but without jeopardising my health.

In 2012 I founded Chocolate Nutrition – Health Without Compromise, at my practice in Cape Town, South Africa where I helped clients to achieve optimal health without restricting their lifestyle. This is something that I firmly believe in – that it is possible to be healthy and at your ideal weight by eating a balance diet of wholesome foods, but still allowing yourself a chocolate every now and then!

I now live and work in Cascais, Portugal. I specialise in diabetes, but also enjoy working with various health conditions, DNA mapping and sportspeople. I was a competitive swimmer and have also competed in various triathlons, so other than advice on nutrition, I can also help put you on the right path regarding your exercise regime.

I hold a BSC Med Honours degree from the University of Stellenbosch and is registered as a Clinical Dietitian at the medical and nutritional board in the UK, Portugal and South Africa.
