About Me

People are my passion, and it is absolutely my privilege to take part in your journey to discover the new exciting you!

You are unique and special with individualised needs.

I believe to consult a dietitian provides benefits beyond nutrition education. I practice dietetics based on scientific principles and current information; and continually strive to increase and apply professional knowledge and skills to our practice. Continuing professional education helps me to stay up to date on the latest nutrition evidence. The aim is to locate, interpret and deliver scientifically-sound research to you in an understandable way. To provide accurate information about nutrients, calories, serving sizes, food groups, labels, marketing tactics, food ingredients, allergies, interactions and more.

It is all about Personalised Nutrition, because each person is a unique individual, there is not one nutrition plan that will work for everyone. Age, height, weight, and gender are just a few factors that determine your nutrient needs. Other personal aspects such as physical activity, special needs, family health history and present health conditions require further specialisation. All these factors will be taken in consideration to create a personalised plan that aligns with your specific health needs and goals. The aim would be to help you to find a solution to problems that might have been a roadblock to your health.

Besides giving nutrition information and advice, we provide motivation, support, and accountability to our clients. Often healthy eating requires behaviour change; it’s helpful to have a trusted and resourceful health professional to talk with that will help you during your journey to achieving your health and fitness goals.

Nutrition, Health, and Wellness is the moto to help you to reach your full potential.

Meet Sarlene

I am a Registered Dietitian with a BSc Degree in Dietetics and have been providing nutritional counselling in the private sector from 2002.

My passion is to help people reach their ultimate potential in health and wellness, by providing tips and tools to make informed, confident decisions that would lead to a more energised positive client with a reduced risk of chronic diseases.

My field of special interest is Sports Nutrition. I have an immense passion for nutrition and how food affects our bodies, minds, and emotions.

Nutrition information is always changing, making it confusing and difficult to make confident, positive decisions about your health and wellness. By keeping a pulse on the ever-changing landscape of the dietary world, I work with my clients to fit this information into their individual lifestyle.

Working together we co-create a journey to transform your dietary thoughts and habits into a successful, healthy future.

I am a team player and love a holistic approach. With a multi-disciplinary health team on board including myself, Physiotherapist, Biokinetics and Medical Doctor, we help you to reach your full potential.I am married to an amazing husband with 2 beautiful daughters and one son in law that is my inspiration for life.

Testimonials

As an athlete, Sarlene has taught me the importance of making good food choices and managing portion sizes while enjoying my meals and not feeling hungry all the time. My power to weight ratio has improved so much and that led to better performance and speedy recovery.

As women, we are often scared to eat food as we believe we will gain weight.

Sarlene has taught me the importance of eating enough of the good food choices, managing my portion sizes, while enjoying a variety of food that has improved my energy levels.

I went to Sarlene with a need to shed a few extra kilograms. The journey of losing weight was exciting and not difficult at all. With the weight loss there was a few extra benefits, I ran my first half marathon and I have been keeping my goal weight without any trouble because I learned how to eat right. I am turning 50 in a few months’ time, and I am feeling better than ever!!!

Weight loss is not less eating: It is how to make the best quality choices for revived energy and a feeling of awesomeness. Thank you Sarlene for a winning recipe!!!

But most importantly, thank you for the education on labels – this has changed my world.
