Hello

My name is Lize Stander. I graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2013  with a BSc in Dietetics. In 2017 I was lucky enough to find passion in my work when I focussed my practice not just on clinical nutritional science but more on people's lived experience. I became curious about our relationship to food and body, trauma and identity and how these things impact our health and quality of life. I learned about diet culture, weight stigma, Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating and all of these have greatly shaped the way I practice. I also qualified as a certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. At it's core my aim is to be a safe space where you may encounter compassionate care.
