My Approach

I take an integrative and functional approach to health — a personalised, holistic method that focuses on finding the root causes of imbalance, restoring wellness, and preventing disease. It values the importance of feeling at peace in mind, body, and spirit.

This approach doesn’t look at conditions in isolation—it sees the body as a connected, dynamic system. When one part is out of balance, it often affects the rest. Together, we work to find your body’s natural rhythm and restore harmony, with nutrition as a core pillar of healing.

It embraces a wide range of healing modalities—traditional, conventional, complementary, and alternative—based on what best supports your individual health journey.

Personalisation

Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that works for you—one that supports your unique goals and allows you to feel like your most vibrant, energised self. Because health isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Attainable

Nutrition should be realistic, enjoyable, and aligned with your life. Often, small, sustainable changes can create a powerful impact. Health doesn’t have to come from massive overhauls—it can start with simple shifts that fit into your daily routine.

Supportive Care

I will support you, counsel and guide you through the whole process. I am here to help in every step of the way!

Nutrition Consultations

Every client receives a personalised plan tailored to their unique health history, lifestyle, and goals. In-person or online consultations are available. You can also choose to do these sessions together with your partner. 1) Initial Consultation (60 mins) In our first session, I’ll take a comprehensive medical and dietary history, along with any other relevant information that will help me understand your health picture. This forms the foundation for creating your personalised plan. 2) Second Consultation (40-60 mins) Here, we’ll review your customised health and meal plan together. I’ll explain the approach and answer any questions you may have so you feel confident and supported moving forward. 3) Follow-Up Consultations (20-30mins) These sessions serve as check-ins to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and provide continued support. They’re especially helpful in staying consistent and achieving lasting results.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing can help you better understand how your unique DNA influences your health, nutrition, and lifestyle needs. This cutting-edge tool provides insights into factors like nutrient metabolism, food sensitivities, hormonal balance, and detoxification pathways. By integrating your genetic profile with a holistic nutrition plan, we can create even more targeted, effective strategies to support your long-term well-being and prevent future health issues.

Body Composition Analysis

Body composition analysis gives you a deeper understanding of what’s happening beneath the surface of your weight. Using an InBody Scale, we can measure key markers like body fat percentage, muscle mass, and hydration levels — helping us track progress more accurately than a regular scale alone. With this information, we can tailor your nutrition and lifestyle plan to support healthy changes in body composition, boost energy, and improve overall wellness.

Supplement Session

Feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice about supplements? You're not alone. In this focused session, I’ll take a brief health and diet history, assess whether any blood tests are needed, and provide clear, personalised recommendations on the supplements that are right for you — no guesswork, just what your body truly needs.

Payment: We are a cash-based practice and not contracted into medical aid companies. You are therefore required to settle your account via EFT with us before your appointment or pay by cash/card on the day of appointment. On payment an invoice will be emailed which can be used to claim back the consultation fee from your Medical Aid Savings account should you wish to do so. Upfront payment is requested to confirm virtual consultations. Cancellation policy: Kindly note that any cancellations should be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the consultation. Failure to do so will result in the client being liable for the full consultation fee. Adjustments: Please note that if you are an existing client and would like adjustments to be made to your meal plan, or if you would like an updated plan (e.g. change in exercise program, new goals, pregnancy, breastfeeding, new medical diagnoses) you may be required to cover the cost for the time spent on preparing the revised/new plan.

I was so inspired by the holistic, scientific and warm consultation with Deena that I found it easy to follow the personalised, flexible diet plan that I was given .

After only two weeks I had lost weight, slept better and had so much more energy than before.

My diet plan offers so many different meal options that it is easy to integrate with family meal planning and even eating out.

Following this nutrition path also improved certain health issues I had, like bloatedness, reflux and stiff joints.

The other good news is that I am not suffering hunger pangs , neither am I deprived of  all delicatessen I like, as treats are allowed!
