However you have found me, I look forward to our unique and enlightening journey together towards optimal health and wellness. Be prepared to take one step further to create a long-lasting and authentic relationship.
I genuinely care about the overall well-being of my patients and the underlying and deep-seated causes that manifest as disease.
Often, consultations with me involve more than just chatting about what’s going on in your mouth – I dig deeper to find out more about what makes you, you. I am profoundly aware of the mind-body and mouth-body connections and consider that at all times.
My passion for airway health has become a focal area of my approach. I connect the dots between mouth breathing and dysfunctional breathing patterns with poor midface and jaw development, TMJ dysfunction, chronic fatigue, bruxism, chronic sinus and respiratory illness, behavioural and cognitive issues, problems with breastfeeding, speech impediments, poor dental alignment, sleep-disordered breathing – the list goes on!
Paediatrics has always been at the core of my practice. I am truly grateful to be able to empower families to make informed choices for their dental and overall health based on recent scientific findings, blended with my own practical experience, being a mother myself. My offerings are an integration of traditional dental care with natural and alternative approaches.
I firmly believe that the paradigm around dental care, especially in children, needs to shift. The focus on early intervention, whole-body wellness and creating a safe and happy environment for children is paramount in cultivating true and lifelong relationships with my patients.
Based in Rondebosch, Cape Town, I qualified from the University of the Western Cape with my BChD (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degree in 2015. I completed my community service in Kimberley and have since been working in private practice.
I completed my postgraduate diploma in dentistry (PDD) specialising in paediatrics in 2018. I am currently in the process of becoming an Advanced Breathwork Practitioner through Breathwork Africa.
I pride myself and providing my patients with high-quality dentistry and customising treatment plans to each individual’s needs, affordability and profile. I encourage all patients to be involved in the decision-making regarding their dental treatment and strongly believe that all patients should be respected, empowered and responsible for their own health. I always ensure that I take the time out to explain all the different options, and the pros and cons of each.
My love for children and paediatrics has deepened since having my own little girl in 2023. I feel I am able to relate to my patients and their parents on a much deeper level since becoming a mom, and I’m even more determined to create happy and positive experiences in my rooms.
We’re a small team, but a powerful one. We’re here to answer all your questions, go the extra mile to make you feel at home and make your experience with us as seamless and comfortable as possible. We look forward to meeting you!
As a fellow parent, we all want our children to bloom into their most authentic and resilient selves. Holistic child care goes far beyond just treating the symptoms. We consider a child’s emotional, spiritual, mental and physical well-being, and when needed, adopt a multi-discpliinary approach to ensure that they receive the care they truly need. That is why I am so privileged to be apart of an amazing network that does just that – Sprout Children’s Practice. To find out more information, please click below.
I’ve made it my mission to create an inclusive space where people can feel free to express their health concerns without judgement and that spreads awareness about how impactful your airway health can be on your overall well being.
