Why me?
Because I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to feel desperate for answers. To feel unheard and invalidated, all while your life and health continue to disintegrate.
Here’s my story…
From psoriasis and IBS since childhood to allergies, fatigue and an underactive thyroid (Hashimoto’s) in my 20s. Added to that, PMS, heavy and painful periods, damp and mouldy living conditions, and a high stress IT job that led to burnout… it’s safe to say I wasn’t in a great place.
My weekends were consumed by sleep just to muster the strength for another week of work. I was living in a constant cycle of survival.
I thought a pill from the doctor would cure everything – but, it didn’t (as anyone with a thyroid condition knows, it's rarely that simple.)
Feeling desperate, someone suggested I see a Nutritional Therapist. I was skeptical, I remember saying “I’m not really sure about this hippy stuff but I’ll give it a go.” Well, I’m so grateful they did because it changed everything.
The experience opened my eyes to the profound impact of diet and lifestyle on health. I had spent many years not understanding or listening to my body. I didn’t recognise the signs of dehydration, or realise that you could eat breakfast without needing to snack on a chocolate bar at 10am to keep going.
I dove into researching and experimenting with different approaches to nutrition and wellness. I also worked with a life coach who helped me uncover my true passion: helping others navigate their own paths to feeling empowered in their health and vitality.
So with all of this, I quit my job and embarked on a career change, dedicating four years to become a qualified Nutritional Therapist. Now I work with women to share everything I’ve learned, and pretty much everything I wish someone had told me when I was at my darkest moments of my health journey.
Your health truly is your wealth, and I want to help you make the most of it.
