Our Story
Imagine Dietitians officially opened its door in 2016 in Stellenbosch.
Our main focus at the practice is to help you imagine all the possibilities in your life when food, body issues and dieting do not take up so much of your mental capacity. There are often strict meal plans and rigid exercise programmes involved with ‘a healthy lifestyle’, but Chantel, Bianca and Megan believe that a healthy lifestyle should be a sustainable one: a lifestyle where all food fits, where you exercise to celebrate your body and how much it can do (not because you have to punish yourself for what you ate) and where a healthy relationship with food is restored.
We work with various health professionals (from doctors to therapists, including occupational therapists, psychologists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, biokineticists and nurses to ensure your optimal well-being.
We currently offer various dietetic services, including (but not limited to) nutritional assessments and counselling for both in-hospital and outpatients.
In-hospital we provide nutritional support (in the form of nutrition support for people diagnosed with chronic diseases, ordering oral nutrition supplements for people with poor appetite and increase energy or protein needs due to illness or surgery, enteral- or parenteral nutrition when oral intake is not possible) and counselling to clients and their families (including both adults and children) diagnosed with various conditions.
At our outpatient practice, we provide counselling services for conditions similar to those listed above. Here, we also focus on intuitive eating (healing a person’s relationship with food and the body), sports nutrition, family and women’s health and student health. We are a weight-inclusive, non-diet practice.
Our tariffs are NOT based on medical aid fees. It is your responsibility to pay for the session and claim it back from the medical aid. It remains your responsibility to confirm if your medical aid will cover our sessions. If you are unsure about this, we can assist you in finding out.
