ABOUT ME

My purpose is to help you tap into the power of health and wellness. It is my hope for you to experience the boundless potential of a holistic, healthy and happy abundant life. My promise is to be there for you, helping you every step of the way. My goal is to empower you to eat foods that nourish your heart, mind and soul while also providing support and accountability.

Are you simply struggling with knowing you want to eat ‘healthier’ but simply not knowing what that involves? I hear you. I’ve been there. Like you, I struggled as a newly diagnosed cancer patient, 6 years ago.

I was fatigued, had low energy, and was chronically low in minerals. I struggled daily with digestive issues and I was completely almost ready to give up….and then I took a deep breath, a step back, and then decided to take control.

And now I’m ready to help you take control of yours……And so my question to you is: Are you ready to take action and to make life-lasting changes and a commitment to CHANGE YOUR LIFE. This is 100% essential because if you are then you must know that I am here to help guide you in this endeavour…

I became interested in using food as medicine when I was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid cancer back in 2014. I had made the inter-continental move from California to fulfill my once-in-a-lifetime dream of moving to London and when I got the news, my whole world collapsed. While I was growing up, I had been diagnosed with IBS with years of struggling with pain and bloating after every meal. I also struggled with depression which is greatly tied in with IBS, however, I had never suspected those issues could be due to a faulty thyroid. After diagnosis, all those prior issues began to make sense. It was as if a lightbulb had gone off, in fact and I’ve been on a healing journey ever since. Throughout my journey, I’ve tackled head-on issues of negativity/depression, gut trouble as well as dealing with post-surgery recovery, and also hypocalcemia from hypoparathyroidism (as I no longer have my thyroid).

As previously mentioned, I am particularly fascinated by the power of food to transform our health and to affect healing; so ‘food as medicine’ along with medicine from ‘nature’s pharmacy’ has become an absolute obsession.  You can read more here about why I’ve adopted a plant based lifestyle. I then enrolled on a holistic nutrition coaching course and became certified as a holistic health practitioner in 2019.

Throughout my studies, I have become especially intrigued and fascinated by adaptogens like medicinal mushrooms, Superfoods, and Chinese herbs with their incredible power to heal and have personally felt a gazillion times better because of incorporating their healing properties into my daily routine. Along with daily meditation and my yoga practice, changing to a Whole-Food-Plant-Based way of eating has made a 100% difference in my well-being. I truly attribute this lifestyle change to feeling as energetic as I do.

Food has been positively therapeutic for me, not only because I am intrigued by the mind/body connection, but also because being in the kitchen has become such an enjoyable creative process and one I greatly enjoy! You can check out see more of my healthy food pix here. Also, because of this, I am currently starting on my course to certify as a naturopathic nutritionist at the Nutritional Healing Foundation.
