At Health with Heart, we believe true wellbeing is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s about nurturing the body, mind, and spirit in harmony — and it takes a team to do that.
That’s why we’re proud to share a space with a group of exceptional complementary health practitioners at Merchant Place. From nutrition and movement to pain relief and emotional support, these professionals bring a diverse and integrative approach to health and healing.
This Women’s Month, we’re taking a moment to honour their work and share a little more about the incredible people behind the practice.

With over two decades of experience in private practice, Tammy is a powerhouse in the world of nutrition.

She creates custom meal plans and nutrition strategies that are both practical and personalised — and always rooted in real life.
Tammy is also a consultant on the Executive Wellness programme at Lyra and a trusted voice in South African media on matters of health and diet. When she’s not seeing clients or lecturing on sports nutrition, she’s likely out hiking, running, boxing, or spending time with her three kids.
