Rooted Natural is the brainchild of Kirby van Rooyen and Nadia Jansen van Rensburg - two South African women with a passion for food and nutrition, who have realised how important it is to establish a healthy relationship with food from the first introduction.
Through their knowledge and expertise as a professional chef and registered dietitian, they recognise the need for locally-produced, organic baby and toddler food. Food that is affordable and includes a wider variety of tastes and textures that is also earth-friendly.
Kirby is a mother to her first born and has worked as both a professional chef in the fine dining world for the likes of Test Kitchen, as well as a private chef for notable personalities globally.
Nadia is a mother of three with more than ten years of experience as a clinical dietitian under belt that included being a Chief Dietitian at Groote Schuur Hospital, a Masters in Human Nutrition and a special interest in paediatric nutrition.
