About Pippa
With a passion for health, wellness and food, I am dedicated to helping others to live a healthier life. I offer a holistic approach to nutrition, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes that promote long-term health and well-being.
My practice centres around the idea that nutrition doesn't have to be restrictive or overwhelming. Instead, I emphasise balance, helping clients develop healthy habits that fit into their everyday lives.
As a mother, I understand the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet in a busy household. I offer practical tips and strategies, from meal planning to navigating grocery shopping, making it easier for families to embrace a healthier lifestyle. My approach encourages families to enjoy wholesome, nutritious foods together, making mealtime a time for bonding rather than stress.
Whether you're looking to shed some kilos, improve your family's eating habits, or simply feel your best, you'll find a wealth of resources tailored to your needs. My personalised approach takes into account your unique lifestyle, preferences, and challenges, ensuring that we create a path to wellness that works for you.

What Our Cape Town Clients Say
After a diagnosis of pre-diabetes and at the recommendation of my GP, I contacted Pippa Manicom. After 6 months of guided dietary changes, I have not only lost 10kgs, but am no longer pre-diabetic and am on a course that will help me to continue to manage my diet and health for sustainable weight management. I am incredibly grateful to Pippa and her creative and personalized recommendations and recipes. I cannot recommend her guidance and support too strongly.
Pippa has a wonderfully relaxed manner and a very sensible approach which is very do-able! Her offices also set the perfect scene for comfort and focus in her sessions. I would highly recommend her nutrition services.
I have known Pippa for many years and she has helped me reach my goal. At times life gets difficult and we have our ups and downs. Pippa has helped me reach my goal twice.
