your biology + food wisdom

nutritionist bhsc. nutdmed

“A confessed research junkie and biochemistry nerd, I have relentless energy when it comes to ‘joining the dots’ and untangling complex concepts, translating this information in a way that is easy to understand.

I strive to provide clear insight and effective strategies that come from my thorough investigative work, getting to the root causes of the health issue you want to resolve.

I want you to feel heard and understood, to truly have agency over your well-being, and the confidence to apply health-supporting practices in a way that is meaningful and sustainable for you.

I will work with you at whatever stage you are at in your journey, committed to equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to restore balance and support long-term health.”
