Dietitian & Lactation Consultant

Hi, I'm Roxanne! Your Boob Whisperer

A registered dietitian and certified lactation consultant with a deep love for breastfeeding, maternal wellness, and helping families thrive. I offer practical, science-backed nutrition advice alongside compassionate lactation support—whether you're preparing for birth, navigating breastfeeding, introducing solids, or just wanting to feel your best. With experience in hospital and community settings, I’m all about real guidance that fits real life. I am originally born and raised in Johannesburg and now based in Cape Town, I consult part-time with food industry clients but also enjoy working privately with individuals and families. I’m a proud runner, wine enthusiast, and never far from a good book. Let’s work together to help you feed your best you.

My Story

Like many of you, my breastfeeding journey didn't start as smoothly as I'd hoped. With my first baby, I struggled with latch issues, supply concerns, and felt completely overwhelmed. I remember thinking, "This is supposed to be natural, so why is it so hard?"

That experience sparked my passion for helping other families. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) because I believe every parent deserves compassionate, evidence-based support without judgment or pressure.

Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of supporting over 500 families through their breastfeeding journeys. From first-time parents to seasoned pros facing new challenges, I've learned that every story is unique and every family deserves personalized care.

When I'm not helping families with their feeding goals, you'll find me chasing my three kids around, perfecting my sourdough recipe (still working on that!), and probably drinking way too much coffee.
