About me

I graduated as a fully qualified, registered Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in 2016. Since then, I've had the privilege of working as a Senior Gut Health Expert for the UK’s leading probiotic company, and I founded The Happy Nutrition Co. Ltd. to share my passion for a holistic approach to health that strengthens the vital link between gut health and mental wellness.

At The Happy Nutrition Co., we offer flexible, online and in-person nutritional therapy packages designed around our unique Nourish to Flourish method, created to enhance the powerful connection between the gut and mind. Our programs are tailored to meet your unique health needs and goals, giving you the freedom to make meaningful changes at a pace that suits you.

Our packages are available in 6-, 12-, and 18-week formats, offering continuous support as we work together to replace old habits with nourishing new ones. With a personalised plan focused on optimising your physical and mental wellbeing, we’ll incorporate nutrient-dense foods, supplements (when needed), and relaxation practices like breathwork, alongside balanced lifestyle adjustments for a sustainable, fulfilling life.

Our mission at The Happy Nutrition Co. is to empower you to achieve lasting health and happiness through healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits. Whether you’re aiming to boost energy, improve digestion, enhance mental clarity, or build resilience, we are here to support your journey to a balanced and vibrant life at every stage.

Training, qualifications & experience

My journey in nutrition began in 2005 when I launched my first business selling health juices, smoothies, soups, energy bars, and functional superfoods. After selling that business in 2013, I pursued a passion for Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy, graduating from the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in 2016.  

Following my qualification, I began working as a Senior Gut Health Expert for the UK’s leading probiotic manufacturer. To further expand my expertise, I completed an additional year of study in Sports Nutrition with The Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition (CISN) and recently earned a CACHE Level 3 qualification in Understanding Mental Health.
