It’s nice to meet you! I’m a mother, Nutritionist, chef, yogi and beach lover, living in Shellharbour, NSW. I am on a mission to help and inspire others to make their health a priority in their lives.

I have been a practicing degree qualified nutritionist since 2017, and witnessed hundreds of lives changed across the country from adapting healthier eating and lifestyle habits. I understand the power of food and nutrients in the ability to heal our bodies – we are what we eat after all, and what we eat has an impact on every single cell in the body, what we choose to eat can make the difference between feeling “ok” and “amazing”. 

A healthy diet helps to maintain a healthy body weight, playing a fundamental role in the prevention and treatment of many common health conditions such as, diabetes, heart disease, cancers, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, and improve overall vitality and the ability to recover well after injury.

A little more about me:

• I am a chef with over 20 years experience. My love for food and cooking stemmed from early childhood – watching my mother and grandmothers in the kitchen. However, after many years in the food industry, I found myself to be burnt out, highly stressed and constantly exhausted. I turned to Nutritional Medicine, and I discovered how important the link between food, health and wellbeing really is.
• I am a proud member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association.
• I have a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional & Dietetic Medicine, a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming, and Certified Metabolic Balance Coach.
• I have a special interest in women’s health and supporting maternal wellbeing, and take great care to listen to my clients story and craft a strategy that will support them without overwhelming them.
• Each evidence based treatment plan is tailored specifically to your own unique needs – there is no one size fits all approach. I understand what it is like to be busy, exhausted, stressed and time poor – my practical advice aims is to make life that little bit easier – I truly want you to feel well, vibrant and energised to help make your life the best it can be!
• My favourite foods are Mexican, avocado, mango and chocolate. I hate Brussels sprouts.
• I love coffee and a good glass of red wine – because life is all about balance!
• You will find me at the beach, outside in the sunshine or generally outdoors, I am terrified of snakes and my favourite animals are elephants – they are such beautiful creatures!
