Thank you for taking the time to look through the site. It’s my privilege to spend time with you and I look forward to helping you get further forward from wherever you are now to wherever you want to be.

I am a foodie based in South East London, who believes that good nutrition is the foundation for a healthy and happy life. Food should taste delicious and be a pleasure to eat, making you feel and look good.

As a Registered Nutritionist and Health Coach, I help women to look and feel amazing every day by transforming the way they eat and live in the most transformational phase, perimenopause, when things just don’t make sense anymore.

My journey to becoming a nutritionist started when I had a big crash in my mid-twenties just after I graduated from University, working in my dream job, in New York.

I was stressed, under tremendous pressure, lived on a very SAD diet (Standard American Diet), and in general, working and partying too hard. I pushed my body to its limits for way too long, thinking that I am young and invincible!

Oh well, you can guess how it ended!

IBS with deliberating pain, lack of energy, poor skin and poor health. It came to the point that I had no energy to get up from bed due to fatigue that made a normal daily routine impossible to achieve.

Not getting much help from the doctors I turned to natural medicine, I went to see a nutritionist and things started to be better. In 3 months I reduced the IBS symptoms by 90% and in 6 months I felt great again.

Through this process, I realised how nutrition is powerful, how it affects the way you feel, how you look, how you think and the quality of your life.

Gaining an understanding of how my body functions and what it requires for optimal balance, proved invaluable during fertility challenges, pregnancy, and the early years of motherhood.

However, as I approached 40, the strategies that had served me well for so long seemed to lose their effectiveness. It felt as though my body had unexpectedly turned against me—weight began accumulating around my belly, energy levels plummeted, and my moods became unbearable, particularly for my husband. Months of depression and despair followed, catching me off guard as I was unexpectedly hit by the ‘perimenopause bus’.

This experience made me realise that so many women silently endure similar struggles without comprehending the changes occurring within them, and more importantly, without the support they need. Adapting became crucial, necessitating adjustments to my diet, exercise routine, rest and the pace of my hectic lifestyle to align with the demands of my fluctuating hormones.

I now understand that it’s possible to regain a sense of normalcy, confidence, and energy, enabling a more fulfilling experience during this phase of life. Equipped with a clear roadmap and adequate support, women can navigate these challenges successfully. I am committed to empowering women, offering guidance to help them get the control of their health and bodies back throughout this demanding period. I firmly believe that this transformation is not only possible but also within reach for everyone with the right support system.

I studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, I am a full member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

Additionally, I trained with the co-founder of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dr Richard Bandler and am an NLP practitioner trained in offering motivational coaching and support.

My last addition to my coaching skills was a certificate in Food Addiction Coaching with Dr Bunmi Aboaba.

Over the last 10 years, I gained a wealth of experience working with women to transform their diets, their health and their waistlines. Prior to re-training, I spent 5 years teaching yoga, and also in a variety of sales and marketing roles in different industries. Now I am a mum and an entrepreneur so I understand the challenges of combining a healthy lifestyle with a busy family life and stressful job on top of it.
