A Holistic Approach
My approach to Nutritional Therapy is shaped by my background in Neuroscience and Personalised Nutrition, my certification in NLP coaching, and over 500 hours of yoga teacher training.
This holistic perspective on health was key to overcoming my own 20+ year struggle with chronic eczema. It’s also why I’m passionate about an integrated approach that emphasises the mind-body connection because true, lasting results come from addressing the whole person.
My goal is to empower people to take charge of their health with confidence and commitment, knowing they have the tools to create lasting change
My Story
THE JOURNEY THAT LED ME HERE
For over 20 years, I lived with chronic eczema, a condition that deeply impacted every part of my life and took a significant toll on my mental health.
​​
I tried everything to manage my symptoms including topical steroid creams, antihistamines, acupuncture, elimination diets, and Traditional Chinese herbal remedies. While some of these provided temporary relief, none offered a sustainable, long-term solution.
After years of frustration and exhaustion from trying countless treatments without lasting success and never feeling like I was addressing the root cause, my acupuncturist recommended I explore nutritional therapy.
The results were nothing short of life-changing. By following a personalised plan that combined diet, lifestyle adjustments, and supplements, I saw remarkable improvements in my skin. This holistic and evidence-based approach didn’t just treat the symptoms; it transformed my overall well-being by addressing the root cause of my eczema.​
At the time, I was working full-time as the Executive Director of a thriving social enterprise in Guatemala. Despite my busy schedule, I felt compelled to deepen my understanding of this approach, so I began studying Personalised Nutrition online.
Through my studies and personal experiences with psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other energetic healing modalities, I also realised how much my emotional blocks and negative thought patterns were holding me back from true healing and change.​
This insight inspired me to complete a coaching certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). By combining this training with nutrition education, I am able to offer my clients practical lifestyle tools alongside personalised nutrition guidance.
