SO THIS IS HOW IT STARTED...
Let me introduce myself!
I’m a Functional Nutritional Therapist specialising in Gut Health, now based in vibrant London. My journey began in Brussels where I spent the first 25 years of my life , then led me to an exhilarating career in Dublin with tech giants like LinkedIn and Oracle, and took me across the globe. The excitement of international travel and working with brilliant minds was unforgettable, but deep down, I knew that the world of SaaS wasn’t my true calling.
Today, I’ve found my true purpose here in London, where I’m dedicated to helping hundreds of men and women live symptom-free and embrace a healthier meaningful life. This work isn’t just a career for me—it’s a calling that fills me with immense joy and fulfilment every day. And that, my friends, is where my heart truly belongs.
I first discovered the world of nutrition at the age of 12, after being diagnosed with asthma. I started on daily medication, but rather than getting better, my condition seemed to worsen. It became clear to me that merely increasing my medication wasn’t going to tackle the root cause of my asthma. This is a reality we still face today—while medication undoubtedly has its place and can be life-saving, overlooking the crucial role of nutrition and lifestyle can be profoundly detrimental.
The day that changed everything for me was the day I watched Crazy Sexy Cancer, a documentary that follows Kris Carr, a young actress diagnosed with advanced cancer, as she travels across America searching for a miracle. What struck me wasn’t just her fight for survival but how she found true healing and peace through whole foods and mindfulness. Seeing her story unfold, knowing she’s still thriving today, was a turning point for me. That film wasn’t just inspirational—it lit the path for my own journey to health, guiding me towards a life I’m incredibly passionate about.
In addition to asthma, I faced a series of chronic conditions—adrenal fatigue, candida overgrowth, hyperhidrosis, and panic attacks. My appendix was even removed. Driven by a mix of frustration and curiosity, I did my own research and looking for more ''alternative'' solutions that conventional medicine. I discovered that chronic inflammation is the main driver of all modern dis-eases, not a deficiency in antacids or statins.
This marked the beginning of a transformative journey towards optimal health. I learned to listen to my body’s signals, embrace my symptoms (you cannot heal a body you hate), and take a root-cause approach to address and restore balance in my system. Today, I am free from chronic symptoms, thanks to a holistic approach that includes nutrition, lifestyle changes, supplements, and trauma healing.
On this journey, I discovered just how vital gut health is to overall well-being. Our gut plays a central role in absorbing all the nutrients we consume, which then travel to our thyroid, liver, skin, and other organs. It's home to 70% of our immune system and is responsible for producing about 80% of our body's serotonin, which influences our mood. Furthermore, gut bacteria are crucial for regulating glucose metabolism and can impact our weight. Even our sex hormones are partly processed in the gut. This understanding is why my approach prioritises gut health. My practice is grounded in data and precision—testing rather than guessing.
