Dear Ulrike,
Thank you for changing my life:
Ulrike is the first dietitian I have ever been to. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done every diet there is, I’ve just never been to a dietician. What I thought was going to be a half hour consultation followed by a magic meal plan that would make me thin and acceptable, has turned into a life-changing journey of self-acceptance – I got so much more than I bargained for!
I have been on some sort of a diet my entire adult life. And while I have been able to lose weight successfully in the past (14kgs on Weight Watchers and 10kgs on low carb) , I have never managed to keep it off. Over the years, and after having children, it’s become harder to lose weight. I’m a full-time working mom of two young children – social media had me feeling like an absolute failure; I certainly didn’t have it all together (overweight, unfit and exhausted – not thin, running half marathons and bouncing around from one social engagement to the next).
When I made my fist appointment with Ulrike, I felt like I’d hit rock bottom – I needed professional help to get me thin. However, I left without any meal plan and a promise to stop weighing myself and my food – the goal had become bigger than thin. I cleaned up my social media so that I was no longer being bombarded by “thinsanity” and stopped all “thin” and “diet” talk with my girlfriends. I had begun my Intuitive Eating journey.
Ulrike is so down to earht and non-judgmental that you can’t help but feel at ease in her presence. She spoke to my soul that first day we met – I was so sick of hating my body and obsessing over food choices. She gave me hope that there was a way out of the vicious cycle. Intuitive Eating has changed my outlook on life. While it’s certainly not a quick fix, and there will be challenges along the way, the payoff of food freedom and body acceptance is so worth it.
I can confidently say that I will never go on another diet again. I have almost completely dropped every food rule I had adopted over the last 25 years and I no longer obsess over what I eat. I don’t count calories at all and I haven’t stepped on a scale since I met Ulrike – there’s so much more to life that my weight, and it certainly doesn’t define my worth in this world. My biggest win – my kids will never struggle with food like I have.
The books, podcasts and documentaries that Ulrike has suggested for me have really helped me in never feeling alone on this journey.
THANK YOU, Ulrike!!

I contacted Ulrike after almost a year of trauma, stress eating, binging and emotional havoc because of the weight I gained in this time.
Her soft approach and empathetic answers motivated me to journey through the Intuitive Eating Workbook with her. What I gained was life changing as I never realised how out of tune I was with my body. I have less fears around food, I have confidence in my meal choices and more kindness towards myself... The best weight I lost was other's opinions of me and my family's eating habits.
Before: Selfconcious, hating my body, afraid of food keeping me emprisoned in terms of overwhelming thoughts and consuming most of my day.
After: Weighing exactly the same, except for the opions and rules I shoved... Adapted to my first pair of mom jeans, started Pilates, hiked in the Drakensberg. Kinder to my body everyday. She is the only one I have. I want to care for and nourish this body as best I can.

Ulrike, you have been extremely helpful in making us understand the situation we are in i.e. Diabetes 2 and Fatty liver disored.
Your consultation was clear and positive - we came away with a feeling that we WILL be able to conquer this. Thank you also for all the wonderful meal ideas that you assisted us with. Greatly appreciated everything that you have done for both of us. It's just as difficult for the spouse dealing with these disorders and you have made it easy.

Liewe Ulrike, dankie vir die ongelooflike impak wat jy gemaak het op my gesondheid en algemene kwaliteit van lewe. Jou bystand, ondersteuning en kennis het die wereld se verskil gemaak. My eet gewoontes was baie sleg en gedisorganiseerd vir baie jare. Tot op die punt waar my lyf dit nie meer kon hanteer nie. Sonder om twee keer te dink het jy ingespring. En in slegs 3 maande is ek heeltemal genees van 90% van my kwale. Slegs deur jou leiding. Ek is jou innig dankbaar!
