I have been in the wellness and personal development world for over 16 years. The human race and why we do what we do has been a life-long fascination of mine. Ended up studying Marketing rather than psychology only to realise later that marketing is pure psychology.

I have tried a ton of healing modalities, eating plans, magic shakes, supplements, therapies & visited a sizable number of medical & alternative practitioners in a quest to find out why my body all of sudden had stopped working as well as it used to. It kept getting worse despite me eating ‘healthily’.

I did some heart healing for the trauma from my dad’s passing and really saw firsthand how our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies are so tightly interconnected. No woo-woo here, just pure physiology. I couldn’t bring him back, but I could change how I feel about it. Truly wish I hadn’t waited 5 years for that. Happiness was restored, but my body kept getting worse.

I quit my job in Marketing in 2013 as it wasn’t serving me anymore thinking I’d have a break and then find a new marketing position. Two weeks later it was obvious that my next step was to formally train (after all those years of self-taught holistic living) and become a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach so that I could turn my hobby into a living.

It’s funny how intuition and divine timing work, right? You take a scary leap into the unknown and only then the next obvious step on your journey is revealed.

I’ve since taken a deeper dive into the Functional Medicine model of care, and am certified as an Applied Functional Medicine Practitioner at the School of Applied Functional Medicine.

 For the last few years, I’ve also been deeply immersed in the unique teachings at The Academy of Functional Wellness, which intimate mastermind has rightly been described as “the finishing school of Functional Medicine”.

 Along the way, I have been involved in hundreds of trainings & teachings on a broad subject of topics – hormones, pregnancy, digestion & gut health, the science of behavioural change, skin health, anxiety & mental health, energy etc.

A big focus of mine has been learning as much as possible about the impact of environmental toxicity on our well-being with Lara Adler and others – an area, which is somewhat understood and yet to gain the proper attention it deserves. 

It is safe to say that I feel like “I’ve come home” & I cannot imagine doing anything else now. I still cannot believe how “lucky” I’ve been to “stumble upon” my absolute passion and to use my innate strengths to bring about positive change in the world.

All good, but how does the above relate to you?

I know where you are and where you come from because I’ve walked that very same road. We need courage to go down the path of change and I understand what it takes to make a change that lasts.

There are probably not many things that I haven’t seen, witnessed, studied, heard of, experienced or experimented with myself when it comes to health, wellness, food, diets, pills and shakes, moving our bodies, sleep, stress (remember that job in Marketing I quit? Should have done it earlier), accountability, change, habits and the list goes on.

Will you achieve what you want in 2 weeks? Probably not. However, clarity, consistency, commitment, guidance & support, as well as keeping an open mind will totally get you there much quicker than you think.

Throw in some patience & love into the mix too + give it a bit of time for it all to brew & infuse together = your perfect recipe for success is here.

I totally wish I had known all this when I started my wellbeing journey – it would have saved me so much hassle, time, money, energy and endless hours of pure frustration.

So, a very warm Welcome to my virtual world and let’s have fun together! Yes, fun is mandatory.
