ABOUT ME
My name is Inge Cronje and I am a qualified Dietitian. Although I originally hail from George in the Southern Cape, I currently reside in Durbanville with my husband and two Staffie dogs. My personal interests include long-distance running, interior decorating and spending time with family and friends. If I am not working you will find me either enjoying coffee and muesli cups at our local Vida Café or drinking cocktails at the beach. I hold a BSC(Dietetics) degree from the University of Stellenbosch and currently manage my own private dietetics practice in Bellville, Cape Town. To this extent, I am registered with the statutory body regulating the practice of health professions in South Africa, namely the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HSPCA) as well as the national professional association for dietitians, the Association for Dietetics of South Africa (ADSA).
