About me

 Since graduating from the University of Stellenbosch in 1985, I have spent four decades walking beside patients through the most vulnerable moments of their lives. My journey began in primary care, where I honed my skills in emergency medicine and geriatrics, learning the immeasurable value of listening and swift, empathetic action.

Driven by a passion for patient safety, I completed my Master’s in the field at the University of Cape Town in 2015—solidifying my belief that clinical excellence and kindness must walk hand-in-hand. This ethos guided my time at Mediclinic, where I worked alongside visionary teams to improve systems and elevate the patient experience. I discovered, on a global scale, what patients truly crave: to be seen, heard, and treated with empathy.

Now, I’ve come full circle—embracing the heart of my calling not just as a doctor, but as a partner in wellness. I bring with me decades of insight, systems thinking, and deep humanity to help individuals flourish on their health journeys. My mission is simple: empower people to take control of their wellbeing and remind them that healing begins with being heard.
