“Do no harm" would be my motto for your body. It is often much easier than you would think.

I , Dr Marike de Klerk, qualified at UJ in 1999 as a homeopath.
Perhaps you would like to hear that I chose this profession because I was passionate about homeopathy and natural medicine. In all honesty, I cannot. I walked in blindly, and even after qualifying, did not develop this passion until I started seeing patients at my first practice on the East Rand.

Every year I learned more about the body’s workings and how to assist patients onto a healthy healing path. After 20 years of studying health and how to achieve this, I am still in awe of the intricacies of the body and still learning every day. The feeling of absolute satisfaction when I can help guide a patient to good health is unsurpassed and has become my mission in life.
I believe every patient has the power to take their health into their own hands, and with my guidance, be able to have the best health outcomes. I don’t think longevity is the key.
The key is to live with quality for the time that we have.
Having a history of gastrointestinal problems has made me lean towards the treatment of these patients. I also have a soft spot for children and babies and the smile on a mother’s face when she makes her child’s health a priority and succeeds in making them better, is a highlight in my work day.
Autoimmune diseases as well as chronic fatigue is challenging but I enjoy taking the journey with my patient.

Chiropractor
AHPCSA No: A11157
PR No: 0461253

After completing my master’s degree in Chiropractic (Cum Laude) I joined Loftus medical in 2020 as a registered chiropractor with a keen interest in sports medicine. I completed my master’s degree in Homeopathy in 2011 after which I practiced as a registered Homeopath in Kimberly. In 2013 I moved back to Pretoria and joined the Naturopathic Health Care Centre shortly after.

As a homeopath I developed a special interest in autoimmune disorders. The conjunction of Chiropractic, Homeopathy and tailored nutritional and lifestyle medicine has allowed me to effectively treat my patients and improve their prognosis and over all quality of life to afford them pain free daily living.
I have a great passion for alternative sports medicine. Combining the two disciplines of Homeopathy and Chiropractic, it provides effective treatment and prevention of sports injuries which ultimately improves overall sporting performance and endurance.

I am a registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA) as a Homeopath and Chiropractor and hold membership to the Chiropractic Association of South Africa (CASA) and ChiroSport SA.

Even though I am passionate and dedicated to my work and the wellbeing of my patients, I am also a big family man. I have two beautiful boys,one gorgeous girl and a loving wife who supports me in everything I do.

DR MARETHE DE VOS

MHSc Chiropractic (UJ)
AHPCSA NUMBER: A12085
PRACTICE NUMBER: 1162705

From early on I have been in wonderment of the intricacies of the human body and throughout the years of studying and interacting with patients and other healthcare professionals, it has grown to the dedication and respect with which I approach every patient.

This has also led me to continue my studies with a Postgraduate Diploma in Acupuncture at the university of Johannesburg. I am very excited to expand my knowledge and serve patients through it.

I have a special interest in paediatric chiropractic and have attended courses to further my knowledge in this area, such as Weight Bearing in Infants and Toddlers with Dr Mike Marinus. I am also a member of Paediatric Chiropractic South Africa. Prenatal and postnatal care are also closely related areas of interest.

Another special interest is geriatric care, as supporting older patients as they age gracefully is very close to my heart.

In my spare time you will find me in the arena on horseback or next to it. I have competed in show jumping, dressage, mounted archery and western mounted games. This has given me unique insight to the challenges and expectations of equestrians.
