Our Team:

She strongly believes that each individual has a responsiblity towards creating a healthy sustainable evironment. Lewis is currently owner of In-Sync Pilates studio in Amsterdam, Netherlands where she persues her newly found passion.
Through her talks and food workshops, Lewis shares her passion for "whole foods" by focusing on natural, whole ingredients that are good for you and your body. Lewis provides balanced, accessible, and engaging information on the most basic components of good health. Lewis works hands-on with individuals and groups as a health coach to guide them through their transition into a healthier lifestyle.
Lewis believes in everything in moderation. Never using the word "diet," she stands by the truth that “each of us has control over what we put into our mouths and these choices impact our bodies now and in the future.”
Marelie Winterbach lives in Pretoria, South Africa and is a qualified Diet and Nutritional Advisor. She founded NutriRoots, a family nutrition practice, at the beginning of 2011. Marelie consults in the form of cooking classes, talks and private consultations. Her passion lies in providing balanced tailor-made lifestyle programmes to suit individual needs.
Having been in the hospitality business for almost 15 years has cultivated in her heart a love for food and what it does for the human race. But often, with a hint of sadness she has also observed how original wholesome foods are over processed and reinvented into foods we cannot recognise and benefit from. They have been stripped of their original flavours, authenticity and sadly their life-giving, sustaining nutrients. Being a nutritional advisor has changed the way she approach food as a life giving substance. Her main focus with Nutriroots is quality and authenticity – enhancing the experience of food.
