Sharing your story in a public bio is tricky. I could offer a perfectly polished version, full of qualifications and references, but that feels impersonal. On the other hand, oversharing online feels unnatural. So, I'll do my best to give you the context that truly helps.
I wasn't always someone who felt balanced or harmonious inside. Far from it. My busy management job in London's financial district taught me habits of pushing, people-pleasing, comparing, and competing – all while neglecting myself. I kept up appearances, but during my morning commute, I often felt like one of the walking dead.
Eventually, living so much in my head and feeling so low and anxiety-ridden became unbearable. After trying Citalopram twice and deciding I wouldn't go back, my real search began. I wasn't just looking for better habits; I was looking for a better way to live. Over the last 20 years, this journey led me deep into natural health and healing: psychotherapy, Eastern medicine, yoga, nutrition, energy healing, and so much more. I didn't just study these disciplines; I genuinely lived them. I tested them against the reality of my own mind, body, and life.
This is the part of a bio where one implies that one has arrived at some exalted state of success, all mistakes neatly in the past. But I’m not the woman who has it all figured out. I see myself more as a guide and mentor, potentially a positive force in your life - someone who’s walked this path and can walk alongside you until you have restored your own personal power.
One of my discoveries along the way was that East meets West, science meets spirituality, when we heal with a whole-person perspective (mind body soul & environment), we improve our lives in a very real, meaningful way.
Through my Lifestyle Medicine Method, I guide clients to reset their lives. We align with the natural rhythms and laws that as a modern culture we’ve drifted so far from. Together we clear the fog - physical toxins, emotional wounds, mental noise - and this brings enormous rewards.
What I offer isn’t just coaching or therapy. It’s profoundly rewarding work that creates ripples, leading to richer connections in your life. It’s also an exit from a wellness industry that profits from you chasing the next trend.
It feels awkward to mention but it’s important context: by making my lifestyle as medicinal as possible, my immunity is usually rock-solid. My GP once wrote asking why I’d not been to the surgery in seven years! At 40, my biological markers were those of a 31 years old. Beyond assuring you that you’re in safe hands, I’ll save the rest - like fertility markers - for when we meet.
I don’t believe I "fix" anyone. What I do is walk beside you on a journey that yields enormous results. I have seen it countless times. Psychological and emotional freedom, more energy, happier digestion, clearer skin, and yes - weight loss too. But most of all, it’s about journeying back to a deep sense of ease.
My journey has been a lesson in self-trust, personal power and befriending my authentic self. I offer you this experience via my work - although I hesitate to call it “my work,” because it’s really a living blend of the best insights humanity has to offer into the human condition.
People fascinate me. I was always the quiet watcher, the one who saw the whole playground and made sense of it in my own way. So, it’s no surprise that helping people find balance and harmony within themselves truly lights me up now. From an early age, I found it odd to take medications without understanding what was truly wrong. That’s probably why I’m so hooked on natural healing and the elegant wisdom of nature.
I hope you enjoyed reading this. I am glad you found me!
