Frequently Asked Questions

What does a dietitian do?

A dietitian helps you improve your health through personalised nutrition counselling and goal setting—whether you're managing a condition or simply want to feel better every day.

Do I need a referral to see a dietitian?

No referral is needed—feel free to book an appointment today!

Can I claim from my medical aid?

Many medical aids offer benefits for dietitian sessions, but coverage depends on your specific plan.

I’ll provide you with an invoice—please confirm your benefits with your provider beforehand.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes! Online sessions are available for your convenience, no matter where you are—you’re welcome to book an appointment.

What can I expect at my first session?

We’ll review your journey and any recent diagnostic results (blood or urine tests no older than 3 months), assess your medical and health history, and complete a clinical evaluation along with an in-depth body composition analysis using our InBody120 scan.

From there, we’ll create a personalised plan tailored to your lifestyle. This plan will be reviewed in detail during your follow-up session, which is included in your initial fee.

Where can I find you?

You can find me at Virgin Active Sunningdale in Bloubergstrand.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals. Some clients check in monthly, others quarterly. Together, we’ll create a schedule that supports sustainable, long-term progress.

What is the InBody120 machine you use?

The InBody120 is a medical-grade device that analyses your body composition.
It goes beyond just weight and BMI, providing a detailed breakdown of your body fat percentage, muscle mass, water balance, and a health score out of 100.
This allows us to track your progress accurately and tailor your health plan to your body’s unique needs.

Do you help with specific health concerns like gut health, eating disorders or metabolic syndrome?

Absolutely. I offer personalised nutrition support for a wide range of health concerns, including gut health, eating disorders, metabolic syndrome, constipation, and more. Every plan is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
