Dr Ledivia Strauss
Dr Ledivia Strauss is a general practitioner with a special interest in aesthetic medicine. Growing up in Keimoes in the Northern Cape, her passion for health and urge to improve the quality of life of those in need lead to her obtaining her MBChB (Medical) degree at the University of Stellenbosch in 2004. She initially had an interest in anaesthesiology and after completing her post graduate diploma in anaesthesiology in 2007, her life took an unexpected turn when she moved to France with her husband who was a professional rugby player at the time.
After working in different health sectors in France and obtaining her two year post graduate diploma in Mesotherapy at the University of Bordeaux, she saw the ever-lasting need for women to become healthy from the inside out. Being a very unpretentious woman always focussing on simplicity, Dr Ledivia Strauss realised after attending an aesthetic seminar in Monaco, that there is a misperception regarding aesthetic medicine amongst women. The power it entails to have a positive influence on a woman’s life, health and self-esteem is undeniable.
They lived in France for 7 years where her daughter was born in 2011, her love for holistic women’s health grew with her love for the French culture and country side. In her free time, Dr Strauss leads a very balanced lifestyle. She loves French cooking, trail running and spending quality time with her beautiful family. Having dual citizenship, South African as well as French, Dr Strauss is fluent in French and ever grateful for the various opportunities France offered her.
Living abroad, Dr Ledivia Strauss attended numerous international congresses, workshops and trainings in aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine all over the world.
After recently completing her two year post graduate Advanced Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine, her studying continues as she strives to keep up to date with this ever-evolving field of medicine.
