I am a registered Dietitian & Nutritionist who specialises in plant-based nutrition and vegan lifestyles. My journey into plant-based nutrition began shortly after having my first child. I now have three healthy plant-based children and my passion is helping you to succeed on your own journey towards a plant-based diet. After my five years of study at university, I was confused about some of the foods I was recommending to my patients so I begain researching about animal products. I was stunned by what I found. After years of furthering education in the field of plant-based nutrition, I am 100% confident that whole foods plant-based eating is the optinal way to eat for disease prevention, treatment and for general health and well-being. I look forward to helping you on your journey towards a healthier future.

As the Lead Consultant at Nutraceutical Health Solutions, I am resolute about the ability of plant-based nutrition in reversing disease conditions.  Participated in summits of the World Health Organisation and United Nations on Childhood Obesity as we promote the adoption of clean and healthy diets for all children of school age. I have seen several conditions improved through plant-based nutrition. 

My story begins back when I was a teenager watching Michael Johnson in the 1996 Olympic Games. Like most teenagers, I was excited to watch new world records set by some of the greatest athletes in the world. But what mesmerized me was not the gold medals…
 
It was the pure potential of the human body.
 
(Kind of nerdy, I know).
 
Since that time, I’ve spent the majority of my life searching for ways to optimize how our bodies function – not exactly what they teach in medical school.
 
This means I had to search for answers across many disciplines. I’ve worked as an athletic trainer, studied advanced clinical nutrition, researched and published on dietary supplements, and mastered the art of cooking.
 
And all these things have resulted in some pretty incredible experiences along the way, like lecturing alongside my mentor Dr. Andrew Weil and traveling the world as an elite-level athlete.
 
Of course, this journey was never about optimizing my performance alone. It was about empowering others to do the same for themselves.
