I founded Dietician Practice Renate de Schaap in 1994 with the motto: "The dietician is not as strict as you think!" This motto appeals to many people, because as a (children's) dietitian I want to emphasize what is possible with a diet. As a client you are central to me. What I find so interesting is that everyone is different and needs different guidance. Every day I find it a challenge to help you adjust your eating habits with motivational conversation techniques and all kinds of creative solutions.

• Home visits are no problem at all.

In 2002 I graduated as a dietitian. Since then I have gained a lot of experience at different organizations in various cities. The focus was and is always on guiding people as best as possible in achieving their goal(s). The motivation of that person plays a major role in this. Motivational conversation techniques and exercises that change your habits are skills that I use every day. Your request for help is always my starting point and your long-term health benefit is the most attainable.

• Home visits are no problem at all.

I’ve been a certified dietitian since June 2017. After my internship that I enjoyed here, I joined the team. I really enjoy working with clients. In addition, I’m involved in all kinds of food trends and social media (instagram, facebook). My biggest challenge is to be able to advise clients as well as possible, in which the wishes of the client are central. This approach fits perfectly within the vision of practice.

I have been a qualified dietician since 2019. I chose this study because I believe in the importance of a balanced lifestyle. Nutrition is part of a healthy lifestyle and plays an important role in the prevention of disease. In addition to nutrition, during our conversations I also ask you about
factors such as exercise and relaxation. In the past, I played many different sports. Volleyball was my great passion.

What I enjoy most about my work is working with you to achieve lasting change.

After my internship, I completed my thesis with a focus on type 2 diabetes. In this, I researched the effects of eHealth applications as a supplement to regular consultations. Since September I am part of the team, with a focus on personal contact. Together, we set achievable goals, and I provide nutritional advice tailored to your culture and situation. I am eager to use my knowledge to further integrate eHealth into dietetics. Nutrition plays a vital role in daily life, and I’m happy to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. Let’s get started together!
