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 had no choice but to apply my research skills and seek them out myself. Eventually, I uncovered the root cause of my suffering, which led me to the right care and my own recovery. Interestingly, this discovery also helped to solve a chronic 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 evolved into a deeper exploration of health and healing. With integrative, applied thinking came new clarity—ultimately guiding me to retrain and become the very functional medical practitioner my family had been searching for all along.
Today, with the newest tools and latest research, I bring together personal experience and professional expertise to my work as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing practitioner, writer, and researcher. With deep empathy and a sharp eye for overlooked patterns, I work alongside conventional medicine to untangle complex health challenges, and help clients connect the dots, crafting personalised, effective plans to reclaim health and 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 children, learning, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic dysregulation, gastrointestinal, 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.
