After a career in PR, I spent 3 years studying Nutrition at the renowned College of Naturopathic Medicine. I have always had an interest in health and particularly nutrition, with the role that food has to play. Not only have I seen it improve health conditions dramatically, but it is also apparent how a poor diet can be the root cause of so many health conditions. In recent years, the ‘wellness’ movement has gathered pace, however there is a huge amount of conflicting advice out there which can lead to confusion. It was this difficulty in navigating the correct information that led me to study nutrition in detail. This involved a year of studying Biomedicine, followed by two years of nutrition, including clinic training. The course is based on science and taught the need for ongoing research and reading of relevant reports and trials.

Whilst gaining experience in student clinics, I witnessed the transformation of people’s lives through honest, targeted nutritional advice. In some cases, further investigation is required through clinical lab testing (eg. blood, stool, urine, etc) but often it is gentle tweaks to nutrition, sometimes with the aid of supplements, but ultimately with support from myself.

I have no interest in jumping on the bandwagon of the latest in-vogue diet. I cook for pleasure and health and need! My suggested recipes aren't over complicated, but are always full of flavour.

I believe a good diet to be the basis of a healthy lifestyle, but I also firmly believe in life’s indulgences and enjoying the abundance of food that some of us are so lucky to get.
