My Story

When I was 18, I spent 3 months volunteering in a school and orphanage in Ghana. Returning from this trip I noticed my gut health was poor and was diagnosed with IBS.  This manifested over years into more severe health conditions including SIBO and food intolerances and with medication not helping, I deep dived into nutrition and the gut to understand why this was happening. 

Over this period, I also suffered from severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks manifesting as hyperventilation, seizures and paralysis.  I decided on therapeutic approaches including hypnotherapy and counselling to improve my mental health.

I travelled a lot during this time and after qualifying as a Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer, I eventually moved to Hong Kong to coach whilst studying a BSc in Nutritional Therapy.  It was during this period I honed my skills as a Coach and Personal Trainer and deepened my understanding of the body and the impact exercise has on the gut and brain.

Having spent over 12 years dealing with gut-related issues and poor mental health before qualifying and specialising in these areas, I want to provide everyone with the information they need to improve their own health.

I have an evidence-based, holistic approach focusing on behaviour change as well as education, because what good is having the information if you don’t know how to apply it to your life?
