My personal journey

 

I began my career in Finance at an investment bank, and as a young professional I suffered from digestive problems, low immunity and frequent colds, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue. Natural medicine and dietary changes helped me to regain my health and good nutrition became a way of life.

 

After starting a family I spent more time researching health and nutrition, and developing nutrient dense recipes at home. My children grew up visiting farmers markets, learning to cook meals every weekend, and enjoying a diverse range of  nutrient dense whole foods.  They are now teenagers who sometimes joke about eating quinoa and kale, but appreciate the benefits of having healthy nutritious food. 

​

My interest in health and wellness led me to enrol in a health coaching program, and after completing this I decided to formalise my education and enrolled in a Masters program in nutrition. 

​

I started Fresh Start to help others with their journey to better health and vitality through coaching, education, and providing practical personalised solutions.  In my practice I use a functional medicine-based approach where I address the root cause of illness, imbalance, or disease instead of just treating the symptoms.
