I am a registered dietitian 👩🏻‍🍳 with a Masters degree 👩🏻‍🎓 and15 years experience in private practice, as well as public and private hospitals 🏥. In addition, I am a South African Certified Lactation Consultant. I've lectured 👩🏻‍🏫 undergraduate dietitians for a few years, and am still involved in the supervision of postgraduate students. I've never stopped learning 📚, and as such have just started my PhD journey in feeding practices of young children 🤓.

I'm the wife of an amazing and supportive husband 🥰, and the mom of two beautiful and busy girls 💕. My girls love broccoli 🥦and sweets 🍭, and currently reject most meat 🥩 that we serve at home. I'm still learning from them on a daily basis, and know how important (and sometimes different!) practical guidance is from that in theory and books.

My passions are moms and children, and I have a special interest in the how and what we feed our babies, children, ourselves as moms, and our families!
I'd love to support you if you need help with:
🍒 Any aspect of feeding your baby (breastfeeding 🤱🏽, pumping or formula feeding 👩🏼‍🍼)
🍒 Introduction of complementary foods 🥑🍌🥩
🍒 Picky eaters 🫤
🍒 Lunchbox prep 🍱
🍒 Nourishing family meals 🍽
🍒 Gestational diabetes 🤰🏽
🍒 Pregnancy nutrition 🤰🏼
🍒 Nourishing your body for better health at any stage of your life 👶🏼👩🏾🧔🏼👩🏿‍🦳

If this sounds like something you could use, please contact me- I'd love to meet you ❤️!

A little more than one year ago, on 27 March I met with an accomplished professor from Stellenbosch University to discuss a wild dream 💞 I've had since first studying dietetics almost 20 years ago - doing a PhD degree 🎓. This was after months of researching topics in my field of interest, looking for potential universities and supervisors working in this field, and finally setting up this meeting on our last trip to Cape Town.
I immediately felt a connection, a passion💓 and a shared vision, and knew I'd found my supervisor (lucky for me she agreed!) - and I haven't regretted that choice once!
At the end of March I drove to Cape Town to attend a two-week pre-doctoral course 👩🏻‍🏫 at the University of Stellenbosch, interspersed with supervisor meetings 📚 and very late nights 🕯. Another two weeks later, and I've submitted my proposal for review - a mammoth task that I couldn't be prouder of!
It's been a super-intense month of mostly work 🤓 and very little play 🤯, and I'm incredibly grateful for the insight and time spent by my supervisors.
I'm grateful to my girls, whose past two weeks in Cape Town were a lot less holiday than initially anticipated - thank you for understanding and (mostly) going with the flow.
But most of all I'm grateful to my husband, who was the first to nudge me to pursue this dream, the one who encouraged me to spend time to find the right topic and supervisor, and over the past month the pillar that kept things going. For the first 2 weeks he did school runs, afternoon extra-curriculars, dinner, laundry and everything else that's needed to keep a family going, as well as all of his work. And for the past 2 weeks, he continued all of his work, lots of supporting a sometimes teary and tired wife 🥹, and helping to keep kids on holiday happy - I'm so grateful for you!
Here's to the next 3 years of "our" PhD - I wouldn't be able to do it without you 💕!

Dear mom, if you need to spend some time on yourself for a change, read on!

What a spoil to spend this morning with in a one-on-one personal make-up class, learning more about contouring, the many makeup brushes, where to start and why, how to correct if you go to dark or draw outside of the lines and so much more!
