Dr. Natanja Woltge grew up in Vaal and wanted to become a veterinarian, but she changed her mind after attending a university open day. She discovered her interest in forensic medicine and realized that studying medicine was the first step to follow her passion. During her studies, she developed a love for medicine and completed her degree at the University of Pretoria. After finishing her internship and community service, she returned to Vaal to work as a General Practitioner with a particular interest in treating patients of all ages and working in emergency medicine.

 

She is passionate about making a positive impact on patient's lives by providing medical care and emotional support to entire families. Besides being a busy doctor, Natanja has many hobbies. She loves reading fiction books, building puzzles, watching movies, and creating art projects with her partner and their six-year-old son. She grew up in an artistic family, where her mother taught pottery, painting, and crafting. She also enjoys gardening and has a large vegetable garden at her co-owned fishing resort.

Natanja's favourite holiday spot is Umdloti, the beach where she spent her school holidays. And if she had to choose between Coffee, Tea, or Water, she would definitely choose Coffee!
