About the Dietitian

Nikki graduated with distinction in BSc Dietetics from North-West University and has an internationally recognized Diploma in Sports Nutrition. Her journey into dietetics was inspired both by her own struggles with food during high school and by a fascination with the medicinal benefits of nutrition.

She believes in a balanced, sustainable approach to healthy eating, focusing on making it simple and realistic for everyday life. Since she doesn’t enjoy cooking elaborate meals, she’s passionate about finding time-saving, practical ways to eat well without overcomplicating things.

Outside of her work, Nikki enjoys cycling, swimming and yoga. In early 2023, she spent a month in Rishikesh, India, completing her yoga teacher training. At home, life is kept busy by her Australian Shepherd puppy, who is in training to become her partner’s Type 1 diabetes assistance dog - a demanding but rewarding “second job.”
