My Background

I’ve always felt that food is more than just fuel. It plays such a big role in how we feel, how we move, and how we show up in our lives. It is a huge part of celebrations, culture and socialising, thus to reduce its role in our lives to something to be heavily restricted is simply not sustainable. 

​

My interest in nutrition stemmed from my own experience of how nourishing my body properly transformed my energy, strength, and overall wellbeing as I began strength training. This sparked a deep curiosity within me and I became invested in learning how food affects both our bodies and our minds.

​​

For a long time, especially in my younger years, my focus was mainly on how I looked rather than how I felt. I wasn’t eating enough, and I didn’t truly understand what the foods I was choosing were doing for — or against — my body. Watching friends and family struggle with their health was a turning point for me. It made me realise how important it was to look after my health early, not just for now, but for the future version of myself.

​

It felt important for me to build habits which would support my aim to have a long and healthy life, and to identify and eradicate practices which were not serving me. My main goal is to live well and feel strong, and capable, for as long as possible — and that mindset drives the choices I make today. Some days this means having a chicken stir fry with rice, other days this means enjoying a pizza or dessert. The aim here is not “perfection” it’s wellbeing, at the centre of which sits joy!

 

Restriction has never been the answer for me — it’s what leads to guilt, frustration, and the cycle of yo-yo dieting. Instead, I believe in balance, understanding, and making choices that support both health and happiness — the same approach I now guide my clients through, with a focus on long-term change.
