Evidence-Based Nutrition With A Personal Touch
I help people manage health concerns with a personalised, evidence-based approach to nutrition. From chronic conditions to performance goals, we look at food, sleep, stress, and more to support lasting change. I also collaborate with your GP and other allied health professionals where needed to keep things clear and connected.
My job isn’t to judge or lecture. It’s to give you practical, honest guidance and help you stay on track. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll build a clear treatment plan to get you moving forward.
It all started with my own health crisis…
In 2010, at the age of 29, I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour and told I had about 5 years to live.
At the time, I was told that because I was young and ‘healthy’ already, any change in diet or lifestyle wouldn’t make a difference to my lifespan. This was hard to accept. Surely diet and exercise could make some difference. So, I threw myself into research, reading and speaking with experts about brain cancer and alternative paths to healing.
I learned that lifestyle and diet can play an even bigger role in health than most people realise. So, I made changes to the way I ate. The way I exercised. The way I worked.
Over the next decade, I’ve continued to work with traditional medicine, undergoing 2 surgeries, a round of radiation and multiple rounds of chemo. But, I supported this with other evidence-based methods proven to boost health (and happiness).
Today, over 15 years later, I’ve tripled my initial expected lifespan. I’m happy, fit and my last few scans are showing no visible signs of tumour. Surgeons and oncologists significantly helped with that. So has my major shift in lifestyle.
During that time, I studied Integrative Nutrition, The Psychology of Eating and more to help others navigate their own wellness journey. It’s my mission to stay on this earth as long as I can, and get people like to where they want to be.
If you think I can point you in the right direction, and that you need a little accountability along the way, I’m here to chat.

Helping You Achieve A Healthy Balanced Life
A lot of people out there struggle with weight issues, ongoing chronic disease, or simply feel out of whack and aren’t sure what to do. If that sounds a little like you, I can help. Using nutrition as a foundation, I work to integrate positive changes in your relationship with food, exercise, career, and other key elements of your life.
You’re not in this alone. I keep you accountable and give you friendly nudges in the right direction when you need it. I also work with other practitioners like GPs, Psychologists, Osteopaths and more wherever specialist help is needed.
I know from personal experience that everyone is different and that it’s all about tailoring help to each specific person and their situation.
