Something more personal.....
I am first and foremost Mamma to my gorgeous girl Scarlett, she sent me on a journey of natural health when she developed extreme, chronic eczema when she was a baby. I knew allopathic medicines did not heal this skin condition in the long-term so with a strong fascination in nutrition, I went on a journey of holistic health and healing that ultimately changed all of us.
I help Mama’s reclaim their sensuality, vibrancy, youthfulness and find their flow with life, by taking the overwhelm and confusion out of weight loss and natural health, through the integration of a mind-body connection with the empowerment of knowledge.
I am a Nutritional Therapist, Health Mentor and Speaker. I have been leading a natural life in ALL ways for well over a decade and have discovered an energy and health I had never previously known. This impacted my daughter and the thousands of clients I have worked with. It is my joy to bring this message to many more who are seeking answers to the question “there has to be more?”
I understand the most common challenges that Mamas face - lack of time, lack of energy, confusion about what to eat, when to eat, where to get nutrients, what to supplement, how to remain looking youthful and maintain and sustainable weight.
I didn’t always feel THIS way. I struggled with fluctuating weight, but more than that, I was never happy with my appearance and experienced lots of health challenges that I considered normal from childhood - from eczema, hayfever to gut issues. My 20s were marred by anxiety and depression, released by alcohol and partying.
When I healed my daughter, I healed myself (and even my dog) in the process, but more than that, I stopped running from my emotions and learnt to lean into whatever was being experienced. Life isn’t “perfect” but I don’t suffer my experience, this is true freedom, allowing life to unfold in all its colour and beauty.
Family life – I’m divorced so I know the juggle of being a working Mama. Currently I home-school my daughter who is a pre-teen, she loves to read and learn, she’s especially keen on learning languages – which helps us travel!
I founded The Life Sutra in 2012, to document what I had learnt, knowing the ‘prayer / testimony” (Sutra) to Life came from embracing what Mother Nature had to bestow. From my experience and enthusiasm, I have been teaching a diverse range of health workshops and courses for many years – ranging from health and happiness courses, essential oils workshops, fermentation, natural skincare to many more.
I do NOT live the "average life", but I also do not live with disease or unaddressed symptoms. You may not choose to mirror precisely the way I live (my life is not yours!) but I can inspire you that there is another way. We live in toxic times, but I advocate that we should expect and actively pursue health. I have tried most ways of eating, from Paleo, GAPS to vegan - I believe the roadmap of nutrition is found with personalised nutrition, but I also know true health runs much deeper than nutrition alone.
