You don't have to be miserable to reach a healthy weight.
​
Take it from me!
It wasn't until I stopped counting out my mini wheats, jumping from one fad diet to the next and relying on diet coke to keep the hunger pangs at bay, that I reached my healthy weight.​
Once I was able to heal my relationship with food, I realised that there doesn't need to be a good vs bad approach to eating.
Good nutrition isn't all about kale and the scales or eating less in general.
​
Healthy eating should be about choice, vitality, nourishment and pleasure.
​
My Story
I started dieting at age 14. So much of my self-worth was tied up with my weight.
Over the years that followed, I tried all the diet crazes and went through periods of eating very little.
This was always followed with periods of bingeing. Bingeing fuelled the self-loathing. I wasted so much time and energy staring into the mirror and hating what stared back at me.
As my weight continued to yo-yo with each diet, so did my mood.
I didn't handle stress well and was often sick with colds and infections. I slept poorly and suffered from frequent episodes of candida.
​
What I didn't realise was that by restricting foods to lose weight, I was not getting the nutrients my body needed. I was damaging my gut health, weakening my immune system and impacting my mental health.
What changed?
After a particularly bad relationship break up in my 20's, a friend took me along to a meditation class.
Connecting inwards for the first time felt strange but peaceful.
I kept at it. As my inner world expanded, so did my self-awareness and I found myself more in tune with what truly mattered to me and what gave my life purpose.
Slowly my relationship with food began to improve.
I started exercising consistently and choosing foods that made my body feel good. I devoured nutrition and self-help books and threw away my scales.
I slowly re-established the mind body connection that had been missing for so long.
Studying a Bachelor of Nutritional Medicine was the final piece of the puzzle.
Learning the science of health enabled me to understand the nutrients our body and mind needs to thrive.
I learnt about the negative impacts of dieting on our metabolism, digestion, immune system and mental health. Most importantly, I learnt how this can be corrected and how to bring the body back into balance.

Now, I'd love to help you do the same!
Fast forward to today..
​
These days you'll either find me juggling my Nutrition Practice with my writing career, smuggling veggies into the kids bolognese sauce while streaming Queer Eye or trying to find a quiet moment to meditate!
​
When I stopped focusing on the number on the scales and started focusing on my health, I found a way back to my happy self.
​
Now I'd love to support you with your goals!
