My Story
From chronically ill medical mystery, to healthy happy human -
I've been where you are now.​
Portrait by Sophie Davidson
Where it all started...
Just a few years ago, I was sick. Really, really sick. Fibromyalgia, brain fog, heavy painful periods, executive dysfunction, depression, agoraphobia, anxiety, ADD, chronic infections, rashes, dizziness & fainting fits, water retention, liver damage, gallstones, eczema, sciatica, indigestion, a struggling immune system, permanent fatigue, and searing pain throughout my whole body that never, ever left.
​
At my worst, I was completely housebound and often bedridden. I couldn't stand up long enough to prepare the simplest of meals, I couldn't lift up my arms to tie up my hair, showering was a herculean task, and every single day felt like hell emotionally as well as physically. I was so non-functional that I had to quit my promising career as a chef, and was forced to turn down my dream opportunity of running my own restaurant.
​
I was a wreck, spiralling hard, and nobody was able to help me. Endless trips to the hospital and to my GP were fruitless - "the experts" told me that I would be disabled for life, and just prescribed me pain meds, SSRIs, a cane, and a wheelchair.
The way out...
Luckily, I'm stubborn! I refused to accept that I would be this unwell forever, and so I started studying. I read books, blogs, scientific papers, articles.. anything and everything that I could get my hands on. And whatever I read, I applied in real life: I was my own guinea pig!
Some things worked, some things didn’t, but I persevered. I had no other choice. After thousands upon thousands of hours of research and continual self-experimentation, I did it - I started getting better. I figured it out, and the puzzle pieces began to fall into place.
​
Today, by challenging norms and conventions, I’m stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been in my life. My moods are stable, the pain has gone, and the constant fatigue is firmly in the past.

How I can be there for you...
Now I use my experience to help others - I was alone when I was at my lowest point, but you don’t have to be.
My approach is all about sustainable habits built over time. As much as we wish there were, there are no quick fixes or magic bullets when it comes to true health! Health isn’t a destination, it’s a continual journey, and my role is to support you on that journey in every way that I can.
You won’t find crash diets, grand promises of salvation, or snake oil here - just supportive, nourishing, real guidance that will build a strong foundation of health and happiness over time.
Because I've personally struggled with my own health in the past, I completely understand where you are now. Things feel hopeless, overwhelming, stressful, and too complex to tackle, right? It doesn't have to be that way!
I’ll guide you with simple ancestral principles, but also modern nutrition science, to ensure a balanced and carefully considered approach that works for the challenges and demands of the 21st century.
