Dr Shirley du Plessis

Dr Shirley Louise du Plessis completed her MBChB at the University of the Free State in 2018. After completing her government service, she began working as a general practitioner in a small town, where she developed a deeper interest in a more holistic approach to healthcare.

Believing that true health is not merely the absence of disease but the pursuit of vitality and balance, Dr du Plessis pursued training in Functional and Integrative Medicine. Her main areas of interest include root cause investigations and preventative medicine—whether hormonal, metabolic, or across other health systems. She is committed to asking how each patient can become the best version of themselves and supporting them in sustaining that wellness for as long as possible.

Driven by her faith and a genuine love for people, she embraces a patient-centred approach that considers the whole person—body, mind, and lifestyle. Outside of her medical practice, Dr du Plessis enjoys spending quality time with her family, listening to music, travelling, and exploring nature through hiking
