More About Natascha Olivier

I am a registered dietitian, certified lactation consultant, wife, and mother of 2 beautiful girls. 

​

I am passionate about evidence-based, practical nutrition in infancy, childhood, pregnancy and maternal health, and the family setting. My special interest is in breastfeeding, childhood nutrition, and family nutrition.

​

My aim is to help, to equip and to empower you to reach YOUR goals, ensuring a healthy life for YOU and YOUR family. Each client is individually evaluated and provided with a well-researched, comprehensive, practical and doable plan they can follow.

​

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Pretoria in 2010. I then spent 5 years working in a tertiary hospital in the government sector. During this time I completed my Masters degree at the University of Pretoria. In 2015 my husband and I welcomed our first daughter, but breastfeeding wasn't all natural and easy for me, and I spent a lot of time researching and learning more about this vast topic. My passion for breastfeeding was ignited, and in 2016 I enrolled to become a South African Certified Lactation Consultant. In 2017 we welcomed our second daughter. Since 2016 I have been supporting moms and families on their journey from pregnancy, to breastfeeding, and into the amazing adventure of introducing their little ones to family foods. 

​

I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, and am a member of the Association for Dietetics in South Africa. I have shared my knowledge, experience and passion in workshops, presentations, radio interviews, as a lecturer in the Department of Human Nutrition at the University of Pretoria, at a speaker at national conference, and more. I have a strong academic background, and love combining this with my practical know-how as a wife and mom of two.

​

I have a wealth of evidence-based and practical knowledge that I'd love to share with you! Whether you’re looking for nutritious recipes, or you need professional guidance in order to address a specific health issue, I am ready to help you and your family reach your breastfeeding and nutrition goals today.
