About me

My interest in healthy living began long before I became a nutritionist. Like many people, I experienced my own challenges with body weight and metabolic health, which led me to question not only what I was eating and how I was treating my body, but why some approaches worked while others didn't. That curiosity became the starting point of a lifelong journey to better understand health, nutrition and the habits that shape our wellbeing.

I've always believed that living well is built on intentional daily choices. From nourishing food and restorative sleep to regular movement, structured routines and a willingness to learn from experience, I've found that lasting health is rarely about perfection. It's about consistency, reflection and a commitment to continual improvement.

My desire to understand these principles more deeply inspired me to pursue professional training in nutrition, health and behaviour change. Over the years, I've developed expertise in evidence-based nutrition, public health, education and coaching, enabling me not only to support people in improving their health, but also to help them understand the 'why' behind their choices and create sustainable change.

What began as a personal search for answers gradually became a professional mission to help others navigate their own health journey with confidence, clarity and compassion. Today, I bring together my personal experience, professional expertise and coaching practice to support others on their own journey. Through LiveWell: Nutrition with Impact, my goal is not simply to help people improve their health today, but to equip them with the understanding and confidence to continue making informed choices for years to come.

My Approach:

I believe that lasting health begins with understanding, not restriction. My role isn't simply to tell you what to eat or how to live it's to help you understand why your daily choices matter, so you can build sustainable habits and routines that support your health for life.

I don't believe in creating dependence on a practitioner. My mission is to equip you with the knowledge, confidence and skills to make informed decisions long after our work together has ended.

By combining evidence-based nutrition with personalised coaching and behaviour change, I aim to empower you to LiveWell through nourishment, knowledge and intention.

Training, qualifications & experience

My academic background, research and coaching practice enable me to translate nutrition science into practical, personalised guidance that people can apply confidently in everyday life.

Information about health conditions (*)

Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Who do I work with:

I work with adults who are ready to take a proactive approach to their health through evidence-based nutrition and sustainable lifestyle change. I also support recreational and highly active adults seeking to optimise their nutrition, recovery and long-term performance.

Whether your goal is to improve your health, enhance your performance or simply feel your best, my approach focuses on building a strong metabolic foundation through personalised nutrition, practical guidance and sustainable lifestyle change, tailored to your individual goals and circumstances.

Above all, I enjoy working with people who are curious, motivated and committed to making meaningful, lasting changes to their health and wellbeing. You don't need to be perfect or have all the answers you simply need to be willing to learn, make small, intentional changes and trust the process.

What to Expect:

Every health journey is unique, which is why I take the time to understand you before making any recommendations. My approach is personalised, collaborative and designed to meet you where you are.

Complimentary Discovery Call 

Your journey begins with a complimentary Discovery Call, where we'll discuss your health goals, current challenges and what you're hoping to achieve. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether we're the right fit to work together.

Your Personalised Journey
There is no one-size-fits-all pathway at LiveWell. Together, we'll identify the approach that best reflects your goals, lifestyle and health needs.

Following your Discovery Call, I'll recommend the most appropriate next step. This may be a LiveWell Insight Review to explore your health in greater depth, the LiveWell Signature Experience for personalised nutrition and lifestyle coaching, or the Metabolic Balance® Programme if a structured, personalised nutrition programme is the most appropriate option for your goals.

Whatever your starting point, my aim is to provide the knowledge, support and practical tools you need to build confidence in your choices and create sustainable improvements in your health and wellbeing.
