About Me
I FIRST DISCOVERED THE POWER OF FOOD IN MY 20'S AFTER YEARS OF TESTS AND MEDICATION DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE DIGESTIVE PAIN I WAS IN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Diagnosed with IBS, my life was dictated by whether or not I was experiencing a flare of my symptoms. My persistent digestive episodes meant my mood was often low and my energy levels depleted. During any episode, which often happened weekly for a few days at a time, I felt miserable, uncomfortable and lacking in confidence.
​
​I stumbled across an article in a magazine about probiotics – this was before everyone consulted Dr Google - and my interest was peaked. After lots of research and some trial and error, I changed my diet, tweaked my lifestyle and eliminated my gut problems. It was life-changing to have freedom from the pain and constant worry about how close I was to a loo.
A FEW YEARS LATER...
A few years later I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) after experiencing fertility issues and persistent weight I didn’t need to be carrying. Using food, natural supplementation and lifestyle changes, I lost weight, reduced my symptoms, and fell pregnant. Our nutritional needs change over time. I'm now using natural support for perimenopause to help me navigate the seventy-billion changes I'm experiencing, which can run alongside HRT brilliantly if I choose to take it.
​
​After many ‘just for interest’ courses, I finally formalised my passion in a 3-year diploma with the College of Naturopathic Medicine, receiving a distinction and becoming a registered Nutritional Therapist. I am also a qualified Nutrigenomics Practitioner with Lifecode GX and an accredited 'Digestion with Confidence' Practitioner
