My Personal Story

My Personal Story

Having grown up in a family where almost everyone was obese and developed chronic health conditions early in life, I was always drawn to nutrition. But it wasn’t until I faced my own health challenges that I decided to pursue nutritional therapy as a career.

 

As a teenager and young adult, I was prescribed multiple courses of antibiotics to treat recurrent urinary tract infections and eye conditions like chalazia — painful blocked glands around my eyes. While managing these health issues was physically and mentally draining, I remained highly driven. I graduated in the top 2% of my class in high school and later earned a BSc in Management Science and Technology, which secured me a scholarship for an MSc in Finance at Durham University in the UK.

 

After completing my MSc, I entered the fast-paced world of finance in the City. The long hours, constant pressure, and poor eating habits eventually caught up with me. I felt burnt out, constantly bloated, struggled with acne and hair loss for the first time in my life, and found myself unable to get out of bed. Every meal made me feel worse.

 

After countless tests and GP appointments, I was diagnosed with IBS and told to “learn to live with it.” But that wasn’t good enough for me. I turned to nutrition and began educating myself. 

Within weeks of making changes to my diet and lifestyle, I started to feel a real shift: my energy returned, my skin cleared, and my gut symptoms became manageable. I even signed up for my first half marathon!


That transformation was the turning point. I left my corporate job, moved into hospitality for a more flexible schedule, and enrolled at the British College of Nutrition and Health (BCNH), a school known for its academic excellence. In August 2020, I graduated with distinction. Shortly after, I was offered a position as a tutor, and later became a programme leader at BCNH — an experience that deepened my skills in research, coaching, and mentoring.


Then in 2024, I became a mum — and everything shifted again. Motherhood gave me a new level of empathy for how challenging it can be to take care of your own health while looking after others. It reminded me just how vital it is to nourish ourselves, not only for our own wellbeing but so we can fully show up for our families.


Today, I specialise in supporting busy professionals and parents who are struggling with gut and metabolic health issues, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances. My mission is to guide you through sustainable, personalised nutrition strategies — with compassion, clarity, and zero guilt.


My healing journey wasn’t easy or linear. Yours doesn’t have to be either — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
