Welcome to my table

A non-diet path back to health and peace with food.

Gerda Bruwer Profile Photo

Gerda Bruwer has spent her career helping women untangle their relationship with food, moving away from diets and willpower towards real, lasting change. Her own path through overeating and emotional eating shaped an approach that is warm, practical, and rooted in curiosity rather than judgement.

Today she works with women, in 1:1 sessions and small workshops, helping them understand the root causes behind cravings and binges, so they can finally feel at ease around food again.

No diets. No willpower. Just a gentle, honest look at what’s really driving the overeating, and what it takes to feel healthy and safe again. Weight is not the problem – Overeating is.

What it is
  • A non-diet approach to solve
    food and weight issues for good.
  • Regaining Body Trust.
  • Understand the root causes of
    overeating so you are free to
    be healthy and slim for life.
What it is not
  • It is not positive psychology
    or endless reframing of
    thoughts or beliefs.
  • It is not another food
    freedom program.
  • It is not about fixing your
    psychology.

Ways to work together

1:1 Sessions

Private, personalised support that starts with an initial consultation to understand your history with food, followed by ongoing sessions at your own pace.

Workshops

Small group workshops held in person in the Western Cape or online. Offering a supportive space to explore the non-diet approach with other women on the same journey.

Testimonials

“For years my struggles pivoted in and out of the next diet, weight-loss fad, or magic potion. With a complete wardrobe that had sections ranging across about six sizes, I was falling in and out of love with different garments, changing fashions latest look to suit my shape.

Then deciding what could or would be the next solution were all too commonplace. Decision fatigue of what to wear and how to disguise those extra pounds became my constant companion, an exhausting one at that.
At any social gathering, food related decisions were awkward, often ending up with a disgusting meal because I needed to exhibit commitment to what would showcase dietary choices that matched my shape.
Looking back, it was all just absurd!

Gerda masterfully rehabilitated my food addiction and overeating habits! Happily, satiated, well nourished, and free to make quality decisions, life around food is now in a healthy balance. 

Her profound wisdom and understanding about mechanisms driving decisions and resulting behaviors when food is involved is unparalleled. Compel yourself, set up an appointment, meet the master, and acquire wisdom related to everything on your table.

“Working with Gerda Bruwer has been life changing for me. Before I was severely overweight, unfit and unhealthy, struggling with depression, morning nausea, emotional binge-eating and an inability to lose weight no matter which method or approach I took (from counting calories to Intermittent Fasting, etc).

Through Gerda’s personalized and in-depth guidance over a couple of months, I no longer suffer from weight-depression or appearance anxiety. My nutrition, food choices and overall health increased dramatically. I am not a slave to my cravings anymore. The weight started falling off slowly without me even realizing I was losing it.
My hair and skin became healthier without changing products, and I mentally and physically had much more energy. Gerda helped me understand the fundamental mechanics of health, and identified the root causes that prevented my healing and weight loss.

She creates such a safe, non-judgmental and calm space. She didn’t give me a weight loss diet plan or exercise schedule. She gave me the mental and psychological tools to build a better, healthier life for me and my family, free from the chemical chains of food cravings, destructive blood sugar spikes and money-making diets that do more harm than good. My lifestyle, happiness, and the enjoyable food that is now in my kitchen – none of it would be possible if it wasn’t for Gerda’s intervention and guidance.
