My back story:
Like many women, I grew up confused about the role food played in my life. I tried almost every fad diet—Atkins, paleo, low carb, sugar-free, fat-free, vegan, you name it. I was even scared of eating bananas (because, well…carbs). I also experienced gut issues around this time.
At this point I was finishing my degree in marketing. I realised just how deeply the media influences our relationship with food and our bodies. We’re constantly bombarded with contradictory messages: skinnier is better, natural is better, eat low fat, eat only fat...confusing people and damaging our self-worth.
After graduating, I quickly realised marketing was not for me. I needed to be in healthcare as I had a deep interest for how the body works and how food impacts our health. So I enrolled in a Nutrition and Dietetics degree - and never looked back!
While completing my studies, I was fortunate to volunteer at a children’s hospital in Bolivia, where I worked with children in the burn’s unit and assisted with nasogastric tubes for newborns in the neonatal ward. I have a love for travel, languages and meeting people from all walks of life.
Since graduating as an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I have spent the past few years working as a health coach, and in the private practice space doing home visits, in-clinic and telehealth appointments. I have worked with people with complex mental health conditions, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, suspected PCOS, those experiencing perimenopausal weight gain, and helping people living with a gastrostomy tube (PEG) - just to name a few!
I am also now a proud mum to my daughter, and have completed training in postpartum nutrition, introducing solids to babies and am currently completing my eating disorders certification.
Am I the right fit for you?
I strive to be compassionate and informative. I work with people to develop a realistic plan that is grounded in scientific evidence. There is no pressure, and I focus on meeting people where they are at in life - whether that is 100% motivated, or not quite sure if they are ready.
