Hello

Healing Myself

​

My own relationship with food has been a complex and challenging journey.  For years I lived in a restrictive mindset, influenced by societal pressure, diet culture and childhood comments about my body shape and size. Over time yo-yo dieting began to have a detrimental effect on my metabolic health; I experienced hormonal imbalances causing menstrual issues, bloating, depression, brain fog, digestive discomfort and weight gain. I was frustrated, depressed and needed help.

 

A visit to the doctor, blood test and prescription for progesterone tablets left me feeling unseen and unheard, and I know I needed a different approach. A breakthrough visit to an Ayurvedic doctor enabled me to talk openly for the first time about what I was going through, and I finally felt like there was a way out.

 

After only 2 weeks of following a plan including daily gentle yoga, increasing consumption of specific foods, reduction of others, meditation and relaxing breathing exercises I felt an immense transformation. My menstrual issues healed and for the first time I could feel my body rebalancing, the weight I had gained literally fell off, I felt energised and clear in my mind.  I was blown away at how simple it had been to heal my body using only food and lifestyle changes. 

 

I was deeply affected and inspired by my personal experience and at that moment I made it my mission to spread this message to others; food truly is medicine and we all have the capacity to heal and come back into balance.

Healing My Dad

​

I was shocked to see the drastic change in my Dad; he had gained weight around his abdomen, had puffiness around his cheeks and eyes and lacked his usual vibrancy and sparkle. 

 

Each evening I was visiting my parents, I watched my Dad tuck into a microwave sticky toffee pudding and pour custard over it; the equivalent of around 30g of sugar. I suspected he was suffering with the symptoms of pre type 2 diabetes, which a subsequent blood test confirmed. The advice given by the doctor; to avoid carbohydrates altogether and given a You Tube video to watch explaining why.

​

During my training, I learned how poor this advice is, as eating whole grains containing fibre, actually regulates blood sugar control.  I was fortunate enough to be able to guide my Dad back to a place of health; his symptoms of T2D are completely gone; he has his sparkle back, no longer craves sugary foods, has more energy, wakes up without brain fog, his memory has improved AND he is able to choose foods with the empowerment that knowledge brings, so that he can continue to thrive.

Healing The World

​

I am fortunate to have had the privilege of working with a huge range of people from all ages, backgrounds and countries; from friends, family members and clients in the UK, teens and teachers during my teaching career to hundreds of people from all across the world at the Orion Healing Centre in Thailand, I have continually witnessed the transformational healing power of dietary and lifestyle changes. 

 

During my travels I have witnessed the epidemic levels of metabolic havoc that ultra processed, fast and convenience foods, poor dietary choices and lack of education and awareness have created. Metabolic imbalances indicate that the body is struggling and act as a warning sign that its not coping. But the good news is that this metabolic problems are REVERSIBLE and PREVENTABLE and does not have to be the life sentence that it is believed to be. Conditions like type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and obesity can be managed and reversed with the right type of nutrition and lifestyle changes, and a new pattern of health can be sustained for life with some education snd support to make informed choices

 

Sadly, too many people are living with these debilitating conditions and I have made it my purpose to support and guide others to heal naturally, educate to make informed choices and use dietary and lifestyle changes to eliminate pain and disease, to live a long and healthy life. You have the power to create a vibrant and healthy life, free from medication but with enough knowledge and understanding of your own body to make the best choices for your health every day. Each and every one of us has the capacity to heal ourselves, all we need is the knowledge, skills and support to do it.  And that is where I come in.  I really look forward to working with you to achieve your state of optimal health and vitality, to relieve suffering and create the transformation you can feel proud of.
