My story…

Ten years ago, I suffered a number of complications to my digestive health which involved surgical interventions. These failed, leaving me with a perforated bowel and severe infection, digestive and hormonal dysregulation and heaps of stress. This on top of forging a career in marketing and communications and trying to live the life of a normal 20-something resulted in a complete burn out and a desire to regain control over my body.
I knew that I needed to find alternative solutions to support my health.

To feel that your body is working against you is a very upsetting and stressful situation. I turned to holistic therapies when regular healthcare said they had no further options for me (except for further surgeries, of which I was very reluctant to have given my previous experience). I knew that deep down they were not right for my body.

Listening to my body was the best thing I have ever done.

I have always been interested in the power of the food that we eat, and coming from Mediterranean heritage, the importance of whole fresh foods along with extra virgin olive oil and herbs for health and vitality was instilled in me from a young age.
So it felt natural to trust in the healing power of nature as I went looking for answers to regain my health and rebalance my body.

On my journey I discovered a number of holistic therapies and delved into nutrition and yoga. I taught myself how to prioritise self-care and nurture my body through food and complimentary therapies. I made my body and mind strong through Yoga & Meditation. Together these enabled me to heal and manage the changes to my body which had resulted from my previous surgeries. I am still managing the complications today, but I know that if I hadn’t found an alternative health path my outcome would have been very different to what it is now.

These natural interventions were so powerful for me that I decided I wanted to retrain so I could support others. I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist, qualified Yoga teacher and Colonic Hydrotherapist. I have spent years learning and studying many aspects of mind – body – soul healing and nourishment, and I still continue to add to my qualifications, from understanding new scientific nutritional research to the teachings of traditional eastern medicine.

I believe passionately that the body can heal and thrive given the right conditions, and that we hold the key to our health path.
Caring for the body on every level is important to me - how you move, think, breathe and eat should be in balance and work for the individual.
To be nourished on many levels enables us to truly thrive and live with radiance.

These beliefs drive my work and I use a multifaceted approach to support my clients navigate their health journey.

My aim is to help those who want to have lasting improvements to their health and wellbeing and live a truly radiant lifestyle.
What do I mean by radiant? To be balanced in mind, body and soul. To glow from inside and out. To feel great, full of energy and to make the best choices for your health every single day.

So, if your body is giving you signs things are not right, now is the time to listen.
You have the power within you to take control of your health.

Awaken to a new approach that puts you at the centre of your health path.
