Hello

​My relationship with food has been a complex and challenging journey, that has lead me to my life's purpose.  For 20 years I lived in a restrictive mindset, influenced by societal pressure, diet culture and childhood comments about my body shape and size. Over time restriction became obsessive, which became an eating disorder in my early 20's. The detrimental effect it had on my hormonal and metabolic health caused menstrual irregularities, bloating, depression, brain fog, digestive discomfort and weight gain. I was frustrated, depressed and needed help.

 

My first and hardest step to healing was the first one; to admit to myself I had an unhealthy relationship with food. A visit to the doctor about my menstrual cycle, a blood test and a prescription for medication to 'kick start' my cycle agin left me feeling unseen and unheard. I knew 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 I was not alone.

 

After only 2 weeks of gentle yoga, an eating routine to eliminate fasting, increasing warming, grounding foods, reduction of excessive exercise and rebalancing breath work, I felt an immense physical transformation. The relief I felt when my period came was immense and finally I could feel my body rebalancing. I was blown away at how simple it had been to heal my body using such simple food and lifestyle changes. 

​

Tackling the mental impact of my eating disorder was less linear; with multiple therapists, friends and family to help on along the way. One therapist said to me that intuitive eating was the ideal place for anyone one to reach. To be able to eat food unconditionally, with freedom and complete trust my body. It sounded too good to be true. 

 

However, I am proud to say that now, from a place of recovery and of healing my own relationship with food, I am able to help others to heal too.  Finding food freedom enables liberation from the mental prison that we live in due to conditioning by diet culture narratives and instead to live an intuitive and wholesome life.​​​

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 finding food freedom.

​

You too, have the power to create a vibrant and healthy life, free from negative body image, critical narratives and self punishing behaviour around food. 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.
