Hi! Lydia here

She obtained her medical degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1994. She has post-graduate certificates in Integrative Medicine and Mindfulness-Based Interventions from the University of Stellenbosch.
She is a professional member of Health Coaches Australia New Zealand Association, founding board member of the South African Lifestyle Medicine Association and a member of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
Lydia has always been an advocate for the prevention, treatment and reversal of chronic ill-health by addressing the root cause with evidence-based lifestyle changes. This includes diet and physical activity as well as other lifestyle-related determinants of disease like sleep, stress and mental and emotional health. However, she also appreciates that developing and sustaining healthy habits is challenging and as a result uses a coaching approach to encourage and support her clients to explore and adopt new ways of living with greater confidence and ease.
