Hello! My name is Catherine Barnhoorn – I am mom to Mila, the award-wining author of ‘Mila’s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics’ and a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and psychology and a diploma in marketing and visual communications.   I am an active member of The South African Society for Integrative Medicine (SASIM) and work as a health coach, online educator, consultant and speaker focusing on topics including Food as Medicine, Gut Health, Childhood Nutrition, ‘Free-From’ Feeding, Nutrient-dense Foods, Picky Eating and Primary Food.   I firmly believe that food can be the best form of medicine or the slowest form of poison and I have been on a mission to inspire, enable and empower parents to optimally nourish their children and themselves through my work at Mila’s Meals.
