Hi, I'm Jess
I’m a registered dietitian with a passion for helping people live healthier, happier lives through food. I studied a Bachelor of Dietetics at the University of Pretoria and completed my community service year at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where I gained valuable experience in clinical nutrition. After that, I ran my own private practice for a few years and also worked with medical companies such as Discovery. I later spent some time in the corporate world to broaden my experience — but my heart has always been in dietetics.
As a wife and mom, I’ve loved using my knowledge during pregnancy and now in raising my little one. My special interests include women’s health, child health, and gut health — areas that I believe make a big difference in overall wellbeing.
Beyond the science, I’m passionate about making food enjoyable and practical. I love cooking, getting creative in the kitchen, discovering new foods, and finding those little coffee spots for a treat. For me, nutrition is about balance — nourishing your body while still enjoying life’s delicious moments.
