Like most nutrition and health professionals, my journey began with personal struggles. The week after my 21st birthday I became very unwell with a severe viral infection of my liver which resulted in a cascade of chronic illnesses, multiple hospital trips and spending the best part of a year completely bedbound. Turning to nutrition and lifestyle medicine, I made minor improvements but over the following five years I continued to baffle even the best natural medicine practitioners with stubborn symptoms and unforeseen challenges. This forced me to push the boundaries of health, leading me to view nutrition from a different perspective, even from other professionals in my field.

In clinic I combine my personal experience with three years’ in depth training from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Nutritional Therapy, as well as my previous Diploma in Culinary Medicine. As an ANP-registered Nutritional Therapist, I support a wide range of clients from those wanting simple health optimisation tools to others just like me with complex chronic health issues who feel like nothing is working. Symptoms are the body’s way of communicating with us and I’m here to listen in a way not many do.
