About
My desire is to share my passion for health and wellbeing by guiding you to your place of balance. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition in my late teens and feeling frustrated by my apparent lack of control over this, I started on a journey searching for elements which I could control, which I could change and which I could benefit from. I experienced first-hand the fundamental role which nutrition plays in promoting health and this ignited a true passion in me.
Since I was young I have always loved to travel and am fascinated by different cultures, ways of life, traditions, cuisines etc. I like to immerse myself in the local culture and get a true experience of the the local life. This often highlighted to me the differences between my culture and theirs and raised a lot of questions about the factors that impact human health. When I come across individuals or groups who are thriving in all areas; thriving in their health, relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, I love to observe and enquire why this might be. Truly nourishing food always plays a major role in this and this fuels my enthusiasm for the healing properties of food. I combine traditional wisdom with the latest scientific research to offer you effective support.
My long term passion for healthy living led me to study Naturopathic Nutrition with the College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2015. My studies coincided with my first pregnancy and this opened a whole new area of interest for me. Studying optimum nutrition for fertility, pregnancy and the postpartum period whilst experiencing it personally, was invaluable for me and showed me just how critical a role nutrition plays during this incredibly important time.
Whether you are planning for a baby, looking for guidance on optimum nutrition for mum and baby throughout pregnancy, postpartum nourishment or assistance with childhood nutrition then I can help. If you are yet to have a baby or had your babies many years ago, holistic nutritional therapy can assist you with your health goals. To put it simply, I am incredibly passionate about women’s health and look forward to working with you on your journey to optimum health.
