Community Service
Gaby completed her year of community service in Johannesburg at Tambo Memorial Hospital in Boksburg. She gained practical experience in the nutritional management of Chronic Diseases of Lifestyle, HIV, surgical patients, pediatric patients, malnutrition, obesity, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Private Practice
Gaby is currently practicing privately. "The main aim for my private clients is to instill a sense of balance in their eating patterns, not stringent control. If I have created an awareness of what is healthy and what is unhealthy within my clients then I feel as if I have done my job. A Dietitian is not a magician, we can only give the client the tools to make informed decisions with regards to healthy eating but the rest is up to the client. I strive to make my plans culturally appropriate, budget friendly and as easy as possible to follow. I do my utmost to inspire my clients to become better and healthier versions of themselves".
Gaby is registered with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and is a branch committee member for the Association for Dietitians in South Africa (ADSA)
Practice Number: 0528005
