Although I was an extremely healthy and active teenager, I made some unhealthy decisions that led me into adulthood. I smoked. A lot. I relied heavily on sugar and processed foods to give me enough energy to get through my day, and I even stopped exercising.

All in all, I was a textbook example of poor health and lifestyle choices, and over time, those choices created complications that well… kind of changed me.

I found myself burnt out, lacking energy, bloated and experiencing problematic periods that I intuitively knew were just not right.

This wasn’t the way that I was supposed to feel. And it certainly wasn’t the way that I wanted to live.

 But I wasn’t sure what to do about it… yet. After numerous visits to different health professionals who were unable to help me feel much better, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I WANTED to feel good again.

I knew there was a way, and it was time for me to find it. I quit smoking (which was incredibly hard), and I began to research the impacts food and nutrition could have on my body.

Based on what I learned, I decided I needed to change my life to incorporate a healthier and more focused approach to nutrition. This, alongside my rediscovery of movement, meant that I was finally able to take control of my energy, my periods and my happiness.

The changes I needed to make were so simple, and I felt better than I had in such a long time after making them. Better than I had dared to hope I could.

I felt energised again. I felt happy. I felt like me. From there, I completed an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine as well as Certificates in Personal Training, Group Fitness and as a Pilates Instructor.

Finally I felt like I was armed with knowledge that would really make a difference as a Melbourne Nutritionist.

I knew that I needed to share this knowledge with other women feeling stuck and unheard like I had felt.

 Women who are sick of feeling like an exhausted shadow of their former selves. Women who know that there is a better way to live.

Women just like you.

Issues with digestion such as reflux, abdominal cramping and bloating, changes to stools and excessive gas can all be related back to the balance of our gut.

I use investigative tools such as blood tests, saliva testing and stool testing to help us understand exactly what’s going on in order to direct our treatment strategy.

Once we know the issues, I use nutrition advice, targeted nutritional supplementation (if required) and lifestyle interventions to bring your health back.

I’m so passionate about changing women’s lives through improving their health. When we feel great we come into our full potential for fulfilment in life.
