Nutritional Counseling
First things first: I love to eat, and believe food is one of the great pleasures in life
As a South African I am used to life outdoors, I am also passionate about health, wellbeing and being able to fully enjoy all of life. That’s why after more than 12 years working in the financial industry in London and Zurich I have retrained as a Nutritional Therapist.
My training enables me to take a multidisciplinary approach and tailor it to your individual needs.
Areas of special interest include
Gut health, mental health, skin disorders and supporting a healthy metabolism. As well as this, I offer a wide range of nutritional intervention on all other areas of health. My goal is to improve your general wellbeing, or treat a specific issue long term, whilst enabling you to enjoy your food every day.
Additionally, I work with a number of international companies based in Switzerland on their Wellness at Work initiatives, holding workshops and giving presentations to employees on a range of nutrition and health related topics.

Body Composition Analysis
As part of my Practice, I use a body composition analyser, which details: Weight, BMI, BMR, Fat %, Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Visceral Fat, Total Body Water, Desirable Body Fat % Ranges, Metabolic Age. It is a useful tool to monitor changes that take place in the body. There is no obligation to use the analyser, however this is available to clients as part of the consultation at no extra cost.
