Kimberleigh has extensive Dietetics experience in both a clinical and private practice setting.

 

She completed her Community Service year in 2019, and has since worked in the temporary Covid-19 field hospital (Hospital of Hope), where she set up the Dietetics department and provided nutritional services to the Covid-19 patients. 

 

The latter part of 2020, she spent manning a private practice at Tokai Melomed where she gained invaluable clinical experience in all areas of nutrition, mainly in general and Covid ICUs. Kimberleigh also works part-time at Vincent Pallotti. She will continue to work as a clinical Dietitian, and looks forward to her new role as a Private Practice Dietitian alongside Dr Nicholas, in Sea Point.

 

Kim provides medical nutrition therapy for an array of clinical conditions but has a special interest in gut health, autoimmune conditions, particularly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), weight loss, diabetes and hypertension. Kim has been living with Ulcerative Colitis for 11 years and is therefore able to identify and empathise with patients on a more personal level.

 

Kim has an in-depth understanding of the condition and feels immensely passionate about improving the quality of life of people living with IBD. She adopts a holistic approach to treatment and believes in providing extensive support to her patients,
