Magda was born in the friendly city of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. She graduated at the University Stellenbosch as a Dietitian in 2001.
Her first job was to work as an assistant Catering Manager in Stellenbosch. Magda then decided to spread her wings and worked in the United Kingdom for the NHS (Nations Health Services) as a dietitian for three years. She then decided to return to her beautiful country, South Africa.
Magda started her own private practice in her home town in 2007. After 15 years as a private dietitian she is still passionate about what she does.
Magda has a heart for people to discover what healthy eating entails and in doing so, improving their health and quality of life. Magda has a special interest in helping families to achieve a healthy nutritional status. She also consults people who suffer from a variety of diseases or conditions that require special dietary interventions e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, overweight, irritable bowel disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, fussy eaters and ADHD/ADD.
In her own words: “It is rewarding to see how dietary intervention can improve someone’s quality of life.”
