my journey
How I got into Nutrition.
I became interested in holistic health in my earlier life because of my own digestive problems; intolerances, IBS and candida. I experienced an eating disorder as a teenager and have grappled with depression in adult life. As someone who questions everything I needed to find harmony and answers.
After running a spa in my twenties and carrying out massage and other therapies I went into working at a training provider and teaching Basic Skills and English for a while. It was not until my thirties that I decided to expand my interest in health and I took the plunge to train in nutrition, which I did at the Nutritional Healing Centre in Liverpool. I chose this college since the premise is not just nutrition but whole body care and it is combined with naturopathic teachings.
My ‘Dark Night of the Soul’
The most profound period of challenge and learning for me came when I faced a breast cancer diagnosis in 2016 which re-emerged in 2021. I was diagnosed with metastastic breast cancer. I never accepted that label properly or certainly not that it would be one that I would not overcome. I had to dig deep and this is when the real learning about this illness (and others) and how to tackle it began!
When things got more intense I opted for integrative medicine as my path forward. I took up conventional medicine but countered the effects and strengthened my body with holistic health. This included optimal diet, key supplementation, naturopathic techniques to cleanse and support the body, homeopathy and mind-body science to move myself forward. Whilst always questioning what was right for me every step of the way.
I tell you this to help you understand that everything is possible. I believe the integrative way is what is often needed since holistic healing alone and mind-body science can be incredibly time investing with less certainty yet combined you can find the best in both.
I believe there is always a spiritual aspect to our physical diagnoses and that life purpose is not to be ignored. Illness is usually a combination of stresses (emotional and physical) and it can be the ‘Ultimate Wakeup Call’ to a better and more authentic you. However, cancer is complex and it is not the tumors that are the issues, they are the protection and signal to something deeper. That ‘deeper’ is different for everybody but I always encourage newly diagnosed clients to ask themselves this question in the quiet. I will also ask it again when we work together.
It is essential to work on all aspects of our wellness and this is something I will lead you on.
The way I work
Together through consultation I will establish and explain to you the reason as I see it that this situation may have occurred. To be honest this goes for whatever the health condition – the assertion is the same – we get to the root and we pull it out from there. Change takes courage but I will be by your side to empower you to reach your goals whatever they may be.
Massage & Nutrition Packages
Sometimes clients want to combine nutritional and massage consultations since they require deep relaxation or perhaps have tension stored in their body. Some people are not even aware that they are suppressing emotions and holding them in the body and massage is a wonderful releasing therapy.
