Deena Rachel Shaulov

I’ve always had an innate interest in the human body—how everything works on a deeper, cellular level. This curiosity spouted my passion for health, nutrition, and fitness. Combined with my natural pull toward working closely with people, it felt organic to pursue a career in dietetics.

I completed my BSc degree in Dietetics at Stellenbosch University in 2022, followed by a community service year in the Free State.
Through my own health challenges and growing disillusionment with the conventional healthcare system, I was led to explore a more holistic path. This inspired me to continue my studies in Integrative and Functional Nutrition through IFNA. With this training, I was able to integrate everything I had learned—bringing conventional dietetics together with a root-cause approach to care. This has shaped how I work: by addressing the source of health concerns, not just the symptoms.

I bring this approach into my practice based in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as virtually online.
