During this time, my younger son began experiencing his own health issues, which served as a catalyst for my interest in functional medicine. Witnessing my child's struggles further motivated me to explore alternative approaches that consider the underlying causes of health problems, rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

​

By delving into functional medicine, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of our bodily systems and explore comprehensive solutions for both myself and my son. It is my firm belief that this approach will provide us with valuable insights into our health challenges and help us find effective, personalized treatment strategies

What I learnt through my journey...

 

Over the years, I have received several diagnoses, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, PCOS, IBS, endometriosis, PMDD, and rosacea. While these diagnoses might sound overwhelming, I have come to realize that it's more important to focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms that cause my symptoms and dysfunction. Our bodies use symptoms as a way to communicate that something is wrong, providing us with an opportunity to take action and make positive changes. This shift in perspective has been truly transformative and life-changing.

​

So, where do I stand today? You might assume that, as a nutritionist, I must be the epitome of perfect health. The reality is both yes and no. I have faced numerous challenges, but what I can confidently say is that my health no longer holds me back from living life to its fullest.

Approaching my 40s, I feel healthier, stronger, and more resilient than ever before. Thanks to my knowledge and understanding of functional medicine, I have been able to save my own life. While I still experience difficult days, they are becoming fewer and farther between. I have gained a deep understanding of why these setbacks occur and have the tools to address them. This has empowered me, fostering a sense of positivity and control over my health.

​

I share my story because I firmly believe that there is always something that can be done to improve someone's health and quality of life, regardless of how complex their conditions may be. With the right approach and support, positive changes are possible.

Functional medicine continues to captivate me as a fascinating field.

I am constantly learning and remain excited about the limitless possibilities it presents for myself, my family, and my clients. My passion for what I do drives me to help others in their quest for better health.
