I’m a certified nutritionist with a background in nutrition and psychology, and I specialize in female health, including sustainable weight loss, menopause, and pre/post-natal nutrition.Being a mum of two, I know how challenging it can be to eat well while juggling a busy life—that’s why I’m passionate about making healthy eating simple, quick, and affordable. I believe food should nourish your body and bring you joy, and I love helping people build habits that last.
Lifestyle
My mornings start with coffee (yes, nutritionists drink coffee!) and a quick, nutrient-packed breakfast before school runs and client calls. I believe in balance, so you’ll find me meal-prepping one day and enjoying a slice of cake the next—because healthy eating isn’t about restrictions, it’s about sustainability!
Fun Fact
"Sustainability is key! Small, consistent changes lead to lifelong health—ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and focus on balance instead.”
