As a scientist, dancer and fitness expert of 35 years I know the value of a plant-based nutrition and the negative impact that animal flesh has on our health. I am also very aware of the devastation to the environment, that non-plant agriculture brings to our planet, and I am concerned about the legacy our societies are leaving to our young. But as a citizen of this world I feel great compassion for the animals, the cruelty that so many are put through, to simply satisfy people’s palates and habits. I feel tremendous urgency to contribute to change this unethical exploitation of animals. This urgency has impelled me to expand my fitness program towards health coaching in order to educate and support people into a plant-based nutrition.

I have long been interested in the power of lifestyle to prevent and cure disease. Dr Esselstyne’s lecture on a paradigm shift in the treatment of cardiovascular disease changed my world. Since then I have been full force on plant based education for myself and for my patients. I am currently offering PCRMs cooking classes in my office.

Born with multiple food allergies Kyrena has followed a whole food plant-based diet for over thirty years. Whilst growing up in the global multicultural Navy family her passion for cooking, nutrition and health began as a child where meals and parties revolved around cooking and nurturing relationships, through food. While practicing as a whole foods chef inspired by the simple joy food can bring, Kyrena spent over two decades in the catering and service industry which served to deepen her love of gourmet food. “My core approach to health is based in the belief that, if given the opportunity, the body has a wonderful ability to heal itself. Through the years I have seen food trends come and go and have found that many people are searching for REAL, AUTHENTIC information and solutions that will have a lasting impact on their health and daily lives.” As a nutrition strategist, chef, culinary educator and speaker Kyrena’s teachings include nutritional guidance, coping with food addictions, addressing emotional eating and cooking instruction,. Her call to action is energizing and inspiring with the ability to motivate and lead individuals and teams, all the while achieving exceptional results.

I work with people on the brink of a health crisis and nothing they have tried has helped them get better. I help them to regain their health and enjoy a full and energetic life for many years to come.

I became a vegan for ethical reasons in 1983. Due to the desire to help others be on healthy vegan diets I studied nutrition (including a Masters) and became an Accredited Practising Dietitian. In my studies I learnt that it was the “western” diet with its high intake of cholesterol and saturated fat and low intake of fibre that contributed to many common health problems, and realised that a low fat whole plant food diet could have enormous benefits. I was delighted to find that others (Ornish, McDougall etc) were also getting great results with this way of eating. I have been helping people adopt whole food plant-based eating patterns for general health and to treat cardiovascular problems and diabetes since 1992. I raised my two children this way and they are now healthy adults (aged 25 & 28).
