Claire McHugh is a dedicated health professional with over 20 years of experience as a Dietitian. Claire has worked in tertiary hospitals in the UK and then in private practice on the North Coast of KZN since 2009.

She furthered her studies whilst in the UK and is also a qualified lactation consultant.

She uses her calm, caring nature to build trusted relationships with her clients as she navigates their individual nutrition and health needs.

Although Claire has a love for children and their feeding, and has specialised in infant and paediatric nutrition, she works with many adult nutrition issues too.

‘I believe its about nourishing the whole family! A healthy parent can be a great role model and teach lifelong positive eating behaviours to their children’.

Claire loves educating and enlightening people on how simple changes can have a great impact on their health.  As a wife and mum she understands that her advice needs to be both practical and easy to implement and maintain in the home environment.

Since qualifying, Claire has gained extensive out patient and hospital experience in the areas of infant, child and pregnancy nutrition, gut complaints, allergies, eating disorders, tube feeding, and genetics.

She also prides herself in continued learning and development; engaging in ongoing training and learning activities to keep her advice up to date and relevant.

‘There is great joy in walking a rocky road, step-by-step with a patient and seeing them thrive and come out victorious on the other end. No road needs to be navigated alone’.
