Let food be thy medicine, and thy body be thy guide

My journey into healing began over 20 years ago—not with credentials or theory, but with a direct call and my own need to heal. I started with Reiki, moved into Craniosacral Therapy, and navigated my own somatic journey of discovery and integration. As I deepened this work, I added certifications in Emotional Freedom Technique, herbal medicine & supplements, and nutritional support—learning not just from textbooks, but from thousands of hours of hands-on practice and the trust that emerges when someone feels truly seen and held.

For years, I worked intuitively with clients, building a wellness practice based on genuine relationships and the understanding that the body speaks—and that listening to it transforms lives. Then I purchased and ran a holistic weight-loss franchise, where I learned something crucial: people don't need another diet. They need permission to reconnect with themselves, their hunger, their boundaries, and their bodies' own wisdom. That franchise taught me how to weave multiple modalities together into coherent, sustainable protocols that actually create lasting change.

More recently, I pursued formal education in social work and health psychology—not to replace my intuition, but to deepen my understanding of trauma, systems, and how to hold space for people navigating complex emotional and physical landscapes. That degree became a bridge: bringing rigour, language, and accountability to work I'd been doing with heart for two decades.

Today, I bring it all together. My somatic training in Craniosacral Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique grounds my understanding of how the body holds and releases trauma and old patterns. My toolkit spans nutrition, herbs & supplements, breathwork, and reflective practice. My franchise experience taught me how to design protocols at scale. And my formal education gave me frameworks for working with complexity and systems.

I don't separate "holistic" from "practical." I walk with clients through both—helping them see their symptoms as meaningful signals, understand the patterns underneath them, and gently reshape their relationship with their bodies and their lives.

I believe healing happens when we stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them.

How We Work Together

A structured journey from understanding to integration.

01

The Deep Dive

We start with a comprehensive 60-minute consultation. We listen to your story, map your history, and identify the physical and emotional patterns underlying your symptoms.

02

The Map

You receive a personalised protocol—not just a diet sheet, but a tailored plan integrating food, herbs & supplements, and lifestyle shifts that respect your bio-individuality.

The Journey

Healing isn't linear. Through ongoing support (weekly or follow-up), we adjust your plan, hold space for what arises, and ensure the changes stick.

My Philosophy

A multidimensional approach to wellness.

Root Cause Resolution

We go beyond symptom suppression to identify and address the underlying imbalances driving your health issues.

Bio-Individuality

There is no one-size-fits-all diet or protocol. Your plan is tailored to your unique situation, lifestyle, and preferences.

Empowerment

My goal is to educate and support you so that you become the expert on your own body and health journey.
