My Story
Before becoming a nutritionist, I worked in a highly stressful environment that was seriously affecting my health; both physical and mental. I had recurring colds, fatigue, insomnia and more. I had gotten very good at ignoring these signs and 'pushing through'. Once I woke up and realised that my body just can't take this anymore, I turned to nutrition science to begin my health journey.
​
I believe a lot of women use this state of stress to function (as I did for many years); and may be ignoring some of their body's early signs of calls for help.
​
I have a strong belief that stress is the underlying cause for a lot of today's health issues such as poor digestion, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, low appetite, cravings, poor sleep quality and more
As a clinical nutritionist I specialises in women’s health, specifically in the area of stress. Stress can be the cause of several health conditions and can lead to nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, mental health challenges and more.
​
Women tend to carry a large burden such as motherhood, work commitments, house management & unpaid labour, financial pressures, plus cooking, shopping, meal planning. With these life stresses, often women put their own health on the back burner.
