In my early twenties, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis - a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune condition. Navigating life with this diagnosis has been a journey filled with both challenges and learning opportunities. Along the way, I faced various hurdles, from medication side effects and fertility difficulties to navigating pregnancy, perimenopause/menopause, and managing weight gain.

​

Despite the many medical appointments, I was never offered any guidance around nutrition or diet. This gap sparked a deep curiosity and led me to explore the connection between food and health on my own. After my second pregnancy, I experienced a severe flare-up that resulted in several months off work. This was an incredibly difficult time - physically, emotionally, and mentally. I felt lost and uncertain about what the future might hold.

​

Out of desperation, I reached out to a Nutritional Therapist - and it turned out to be a life-changing decision. For the first time, I felt seen and supported. I began to understand how personalised nutrition, along with lifestyle factors like sleep and movement, could play a powerful role in managing my condition. That experience gave me back a sense of control and hope, and it marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

​

Helping others and finding solutions has always been a strong part of who I am. In 2021, I decided to leave behind a 20-year corporate career to follow my passion. I embarked on a four-year academic journey, completing a postgraduate degree in Personalised Nutrition and becoming a PSA-accredited Registered Nutritional Therapist.
