My mission is to help you to restore your health and live your best life!

I suffered for decades from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn, eczema, anxiety, food intolerance and hormone issues, which set me on the path to investigate how I could heal myself. I’ve tried almost everything, and understand the difficulties in managing digestive issues that impact all areas of your life. Getting the right help improved my health and made me want to help others.  Ended up with anxiety, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and ME/CFS in my 40's. I spent years seeing doctors and in hospitals getting test after test with no improvement. 

Over 6 years I found the pieces of the puzzle I needed for my healing. I trained as a nutritionist and health coach and started giving back. I also trained in iRest meditation along with neuroplasticity and somatics, which were the key to helping me fully recover. I’m also completing a Masters in Human Nutrition.

Now I work as a nutritional medicine practitioner in Melbourne and online. I have a special interest in histamine and other food intolerance, gut health, allergies, anxiety, MCAS, digestive issues, women’s health, fatigue, and chronic illness. I use meditation, brain retraining, and other nervous system tools to promote the body's natural healing processes.
