Hi, I am Jo-Ann!
Im a Registered Dietitian in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town, offering specialized nutrition counselling and treatment for adults.
I qualified as a Registered Dietitian at the University of Stellenbosch in 2006, and after 10 years of gaining valuable experience in the UK started my own practice in Durbanville in 2017.
I am a mother of two young children and a keen sports enthusiast, often cycling, running, or dappling into the world of triathlons. I fully understand the challenges to keep on top of day-to-day life and maintain a healthy work-life-sanity-balance.
​
I value each and every client, I listen to YOUR needs, I want to understand YOUR challenges, and I offer the best solution that will work for YOU. Your goals are my priority.
I want to help you eat well, hydrate well and live a full healthy life.
What I offer

I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA ), The Association of Dietetics in South Africa (ADSA) and the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF). I am bound to a code of ethics to provide up to date, medically and scientifically proven sound advice. Dietitians have medically supported clinical skills and scientific knowledge which are your guarantees of complete professionalism and expertise.

In early 2023, I had been struggling with my weight for over 8 years, had recently been diagnosed with histamine intolerance, and comfort ate. This left me feeling lost on how to move forward. It is thanks to the expertise of Jo-Ann Roets that I can proudly say that in the last year I have broken the 100kg milestone, a feat which I did not think possible a year ago. She has been caring in her approach and is always willing to learn more about my condition. She continually finds ways to improve my healthy eating habits, teach me more about histamine, and her guidance has improved my relationship with food. I would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to make a positive change to their lifestyle. It will just take courage to make the first appointment and Jo-Ann will help you the rest of the way

October 2023 I decided after dieting for 30 years without success, to see a specialist that understands good nutrition.
Best idea I ever made. I lost 17kg and still going, I am healthier and happier than what I’ve been in years. I’m feeling fantastic thanks to Jo-Ann

Toe ek by Jo-Ann Roets aan kom was my gewig 131 kg's. My suiker lesing was 14.7 en bloeddruk was hoog. Nadat sy my geleer het hoe om reg te eet weeg ek nou 13 kg's minder. Voel gesonder en suiker lesing het gedaal en bloeddruk ook laer. My dokter was baie tevrede met my laaste ondersoek. Sien uit na die volgende kg's verlies.

Jo-Ann is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to losing weight in a controlled and healthy manner. Her expertise in balancing nutritional intake coupled with portion control has resulted in a weight loss of 1kg per week over the last 12 weeks. My health and activity levels have improved and food cravings are 100% under control. Thank you Jo-Ann!

I am 57 years old and weighted 125 kg in April 2023. I knew that I had to do something about my general health and specially my weight. So I joined a CrossFit Box and went in search of a Dietitian with whom I felt comfortable. I met Jo-Ann and was immediately impressed with her knowledge, the way in which she approached me and taught me how food works. I have since lost 20kgs and am looking forward to lose another 10kgs by December 2024.
Thank you Jo-Ann for giving me the necessary hope and inspiration to continue this sometimes lonely journey!
