NOURISHING A HEALTHIER WORLD
ABOUT ME
ROOTED IN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
I’ve had to navigate complex health challenges of my own. For over a decade, I lived with unexplained symptoms, misdiagnoses, and worsening health—despite being under the care of experienced and reputable healthcare professionals. Most couldn’t see through the maze of test results, symptoms, and personal history to understand what was really going on. At my lowest point, when doctors couldn’t find the answers, I decided to seek them out myself. Eventually, I uncovered the root cause of my suffering—a discovery that not only led to my recovery but also helped to solve a health mystery that had plagued my mother for years.
Later, when my infant son faced a difficult-to-diagnose condition, and my husband experienced his own misdiagnosed event, I watched the same pattern unfold. Despite the involvement of skilled professionals, the full picture remained out of reach. What started out as a desperate search for answers on my part evolved into a deeper exploration of health and healing. With integrative, applied thinking came new clarity—ultimately guiding me toward becoming the very practitioner my family had been searching for all along.
Today, I bring together personal experience and professional expertise in my work as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing practitioner, writer, and researcher. With deep empathy and a sharp eye for overlooked patterns, I’m committed to helping clients connect the dots—crafting personalised, effective plans to untangle complex health challenges and reclaim their vitality.
A PERSON-CENTRED APPROACH TO HEALTH CONCERNS
My work in Functional Nutritional Therapy and Metabolic Balance is centred on an approach that values the healing power of nutrition and the body’s innate wisdom, supported by evidence-based knowledge tailored to the individual. I enjoy working across a broad range of health concerns. I bring particular insight to cases involving nutrient deficiencies, metabolic dysregulation, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions—including Hashimoto's and Coeliac disease—as well as food allergies such as FPIES and allergy-induced pseudo-seizures. I take a "food first" approach, always starting with a diet and lifestyle assessment, afterwards moving to deeper investigation—including DNA polymorphisms, biochemical pathways, or targeted testing, along with supplementation—when warranted.
BEYOND NUTRITION: HEALING THROUGH MEANINGFUL LIVING
In addition to nutritional therapy, I draw on principles inspired by Japanese approaches to living meaningfully, as well as other healing arts modalities that have supported my own journey. Whether you're living with chronic illness, facing a new diagnosis, or navigating a life transition, I offer a space that honours the connection between mind, body, and spirit—and the restorative power of nature and creative expression—inviting you to live well.
