I worked in clinical medicine for over 20 years as a registered nurse & over 15 years as an intensive care nurse in a busy public hospital. Although I respect the power of conventional medicine to treat disease and save lives, I began to think more about the root causes of the chronic health issues we are presented with today.I soon realised that the hospital setting wasn't the right fit for me after enduring our own personal journey with wanting to start a family. The allopathic nature of care I began to observe was predominantly reactive & the time constraints & reduced ability to be an advocate for the patients & their families, meant I was unable to provide the level of support & education I believe they deserved.
Hoping to bridge the gap in care, I set out to be the advocate that is centred on imparting experiential knowledge which is backed by scientific data & wisdom.
My love for functional nutrition became personal after enduring the emotional rollercoaster of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Being blessed with two children through IVF shifted my passion to the root cause of why I was unable to conceive naturally and I was determined to support their health and wellbeing through the power of nutrition. This led me to study functional nutrition through the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA AU/NZ) and further my learning with functional lab testing through Restorative Wellness Solutions, so that I can help others enjoy optimal health before they require critical care.
My passion is functional nutrition, but I am most proud of my titles of mum and wife. I have a boy and girl, a golden retriever, and a loving, patient and ultra-supportive husband. I choose to be fully invested in these relationships, and I recognize that my ability to achieve these is very dependent on my own mental health, energy and overall health. I want to help other health minded couples experience this optimal wellness so they can focus on the things and people that are most important in their life.
