Carina

Client

Shani is very professional and knowledgeable. She took time and effort to ensure I understand everything and she was open and honest about all my questions. Shani cares a lot about her patients and walks the extra mile. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Lusinda

Client

I would highly recommend Shani to any person who needs a dietician that listens and explains in detail what it means to diet. Shani is passionate, professional and knowledgeable in the field. My experience with Shani was exceptional, she puts a great deal of effort into a person's needs. I struggled to find a healthy balanced diet, the doctors gave me a list of foods I wasn't allowed to eat, but no meal plans were given or a list of foods you can eat. Shani helped me to explain the importance of certain foods and to follow a healthy and balanced diet without the foods I'm not allowed to eat, my meal plans were thoroughly discussed and she helped me to see things differently.

Marlene

Client

Jason van Heerden was recommended to me by another dietician mainly due to his specialization in sports nutrition. All my visits and interactions have been professional and insightful. He is extremely knowledgeable and is ever willing to share details with you so that you understand. He is always available and is ever willing to answer my myriad of questions with the same enthusiasm all the time. I will recommend Jason in a heart beat!

Annelize

Client

As a PCOS patient I’ve been battling for more than a year to lose a mere 3kg without success. A friend then recommended I meet with Jason to work out an easy-to-follow daily meal plan. It has now been 7 weeks since I visited Jason and have lost just over 4kg! He is an exceptional dietitian, and I would highly recommend him!
