Daneka is the newest member of the Ingrained Nutrition team and brings a calm, thoughtful presence to her work. She cares deeply about creating a space where people feel genuinely listened to and supported, especially if their relationship with food or their body has felt complicated or frustrating in the past. Her goal is to help clients step away from guilt and rigid rules and build confidence, trust and clarity around eating.
Daneka holds a Bachelor of Dietetics (Honours) and combines strong clinical knowledge with practical, realistic strategies that fit into everyday life. She supports clients across a range of areas including diabetes, high cholesterol and general healthy eating, always tailoring her approach to the individual sitting in front of her. Living with anaphylaxis to multiple foods has played a significant role in shaping her path into dietetics. Navigating food allergies personally has given her a deeper understanding of the challenges, anxiety and planning that can come with eating, and it continues to influence the empathy and care she brings to her practice.
Having grown up dancing, movement has always been part of Daneka’s life. It shaped her appreciation for discipline, body awareness and balance, which continue to influence her approach today. Outside of work, you will likely find her enjoying Pilates, experimenting in the kitchen or indulging her love of fashion.
