About Me
Hi there
My name is Rhodene Leydekkers. I am a registered dietitian in Johannesburg who is passionate about people, wellness and food. I am also a true foodie and adventurer. I believe that life is too short to eat a boring meal and too beautiful to deprive yourself.
I encourage my clients to focus on being mindful with every meal. I also help them to build a healthy relationship with food and with themselves. I love empowering them to understand nutrition so that they can make informed decisions regarding their diet.
I finished my BSc Dietetics degree at the University of Potchefstroom and gained experience working in the public sector at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academical Hospital, as well as in private practice. I've also worked in psychiatry, where I've experienced first hand the effect that our nutrition has on our mental health. Working in these different sectors I found a special interest in sports nutrition, weight management, the gut-brain connection, women’s health and any mental health conditions.
I'm also a proud member of the Association of Dietetics in South Africa (ADSA) and enjoy educating the public by contributing to media content.
Services
Online consultations
If you are looking for a dietitian that can help you in the comfort of your own home, I am here and ready to assist. Everybody is unique and different, therefore I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. During the initial consultation, I will collect all the information needed to design a custom plan according to your needs and invite you into the process. I will help you to formulate some goals, and brainstorm doable steps to help you achieve them! I will meet you where you are at now, and go at a pace that feels comfortable to you!
After 3-5 Working days from your initial appointment, we will schedule your second appointment where we will go through your plan and then we can discuss the plan going forward.
I can't wait to work with you!
