Food has always been an important part of my life. In my 20s, I left my desk job to retrain as a chef, before packing my bags to work in kitchens all over the world. And over the years, I’ve gathered recipes, culinary tips and a broad understanding of ingredients. I really do love to cook, and cooking is how I share my love. Raising my own family, there was a need to modify my cooking for differing tastes and expectations, particularly for tempting fussy kids.As I reached my own middle age, I began noticing how my patterns of eating had significant (negative) affects on my digestion, energy levels, and even my mood. But it was a health crisis for my son, seemingly unsolvable within conventional medicine, that introduced me to nutritional therapy. My eyes were opened to the absolute influence and impact on our health, of what and how we eat.After months of medicines and specialist appointments, it was some targeted supplements and simple dietary changes that helped him bounce back to good health. I was hooked. With growing passion for an understanding of nutrition, I began my four-year diploma in functional medicine at the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London, graduating with distinction. I am delighted and excited to share my knowledge and passion for nutritional therapy and the power of food.I now blend my culinary skills with my nutritional knowledge in one-to-one clinics as well as at group workshops and classrooms, to help people get back on track with their health, wellness, and confidence.
