We are all born with good intuition around food, however our life experiences, our environment, and all the conflicting advice from the media, can mean that we lose touch with this. Learning what your 'nutritional balance' looks like and how to incorporate it in your life will put you back in control of your choices. How we nourish our bodies has a significant impact on our immediate and long-term health and quality of life. Embrace a way of living that is both healthy and enjoyable!

Areas of interest:

As every person has different needs, your nutrition goals will be built around your lifestyle and routine so that they are realistic and sustainable. I incorporate intuitive and mindful eating tips in my overall compassionate approach, which can be particularly helpful for individuals who want to address emotional eating or feel ‘trapped’ in unhealthy dieting cycles and want to learn to trust their body again. It is important to be able to enjoy a nice dessert or sip a glass of wine with friends without feeling guilty.
