Following the birth of my second son, I found myself with a host of unexplainable symptoms that were affecting my ability to function on a day-to-day basis. A frustrating journey of blood tests, scans and referrals to specialists meant that, whilst eliminating the diagnosis of a number of illnesses, I was still none the wiser as to what was making my health so suboptimal and, most importantly, what would make me feel better. I was given medication for an illness that I knew was a symptom of something that ran far deeper. Orthodox medicine was at the end of their options for further investigation.

 

Envisaging myself being on medication for the rest of my life and not responding favourably I decided to take charge of my own health and retrained as a Nutritional Therapist. Four years later I no longer rely on medication to manage the host of symptoms that I had previously had. I have a vitality I have never experience before and I feel completely empowered by my knowledge of what works best for me. My mission is to use my experience and nutritional knowledge to improve the lives of others, whether that is those caught in limbo between 'not ill, but not healthful' or those that have an illness they wish to manage optimally through nutrition.
