Nutritional Therapist & Yoga Teacher

As someone who has been working for many years alongside medical professionals and scientists, I have always been fascinated by the human body and the way it works. As part of my yoga training, I studied anatomy and physiology and at the time, I was lucky enough to be able to observe a real dissection at a course I organised for work (I am an event organiser by trade). That was an eye opening experience that made me want to learn more about the mechanics of the body, both empirically and by studying it.

At the same time, primarily through many visits to India, I came across a number of Eastern philosophies that profess the link between body and mind, as well as the use of food as medicine. I had experienced that connection and felt the many benefits offered by nutritious food, intelligent movement, breath control and stillness. I was determined not to lose it but I felt out of my depth when it came to articulating it to others.

To complement my love for food with my need of understanding the science behind it, I decided to embark into a naturopathic nutrition qualification to equip me with a sound knowledge of the chemical processes that happen in the body when we eat. Nutritional science is a fascinating topic, ever evolving.

What I offer is simple: some guidance to help you become a better version of yourself. Take what you need.
