I met with Hennis after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I was quite worried at the time. I really wanted to avoid going on medication if possible, but at the same time I wanted to do what’s best for both my baby and myself.

Hennis took the time to understand how I normally eat and what foods I enjoy before working with me on a plan. What I appreciated most was that she didn't simply tell me to cut out foods I enjoyed. Pregnancy can already make food choices feel challenging and limited because of appetite changes and food aversions, so it was reassuring that she helped me find practical alternatives and creative strategies that actually felt manageable.

She also reviewed my supplements and micronutrient intake and helped make sure I was meeting my nutritional needs throughout pregnancy.

With her help, I was able to keep my blood sugar levels well controlled through diet and avoid medication. I'm due to deliver in the next couple of weeks and am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Hennis!
