WELLNESS DAYS

Donnay is able to assist corporate clients with their wellness days, either on an individual basis or group sessions for employees. The impact of the workplace cannot be ignored when looking at the overall wellness of the population. People spend a considerable amount of time at work, which has a direct impact on their lifestyles and stress levels. Clinical research indicates a strong link between living an unhealthy lifestyle and the development of chronic disease, which can have a profound effect on any company. If a company knows how healthy its employees are, it will have a better understanding of its financial and human resources risks, and how to improve them.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Donnay believes in working with you to make a series of small changes over time, which are realistic and achievable, to help you reach your weight loss goals. She will work with you to set weekly weight, food and exercise targets that will help you achieve your long term weight loss goals. Donnay finds it important to ensure that these changes made are sustainable, and does not believe in fad diets or quick fixes. Her realistic weight management approach means less ‘yo-yo’ dieting and achieving better health while modifying your body composition.

Maternal & Infant Nutrition

Good nutrition during pregnancy and the early stages of your child’s life is essential in establishing healthy food habits that will last forever. Parents are given so much advice through various channels, some of which may be confusing and/or misleading. Let Donnay make it easier for you by combining the scientific literature with practical knowledge. As a mother of two with first-hand experience, she can offer advice on healthy eating during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and successful introduction of solids at an appropriate age.

TESTIMONIALS

BELOW IS SOME OF THE FEEDBACK I HAVE RECEIVED FROM MY CUSTOMERS, THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!
I didn't know I was in need of a dietician until my family staged an intervention and contacted Donnay to help get my sugar diabetes under control. Not only has Donnay succeeded in getting my sugar down and stable with changing my eating habits but I have also lost 14kgs. The encouragement and personal care I have received from consulting with a dietician has been life-changing! Thanks very much to my family and Donnay - from the heart!

Donnay has helped me a great deal to keep on track. It is difficult to eat sensibly on a regular basis, but knowing that I will get a check on my weight and waist-line once a month is a huge incentive to stay healthy! She comes to my home once a month and we go through how things have been going. One thing I must remember is to drink more water!

BARBARA JOHANNESSON

Client since March 2017
When I really wanted to lose a few kilograms to fit into my much loved jeans again, Donnay worked out a great eating plan for me. Not only was it easy to follow but most of my favourite foods were incorporated and I didn't starve to death. With loads of support and encouragement, Donnay helped me to fit into my jeans again and also equipped me with an eating plan that easily became a healthy lifestyle.
