Nutritional Medicine and Gut Health Practitioner
My own descent into poor health in my early-40’s and having to endure being bedridden for weeks at a time with chronic back pain, lugging around 15 extra kilos with a ballooning waistline, suffering chronic fatigue, battling chronic pruritus (incessantly itchy skin), digestive distress, multiple food intolerances, crazy peri-menopausal symptoms and huge fluctuations in my mood… was the catalyst for the return to study and research and a subsequent pivot into the heart of human health and wellbeing - the Gut Microbiome.
Little did I know back then, that I would reach 61-yrs old feeling in better shape than I have been in my entire adult life and now, being internationally recognized as an expert in Gut health.
My intimate knowledge and work with the Gut Microbiome is based over 2500 evidence-based research papers and led to the creation of Gut-health programs that to date have transformed the health of 1000+ individuals around the globe.
A published author, speaker, radio and podcast presenter, newspaper and magazine contributor and recipe book creator… My real passion is in translating cutting-edge scientific research into ‘doable bite-sized actions’ and ‘usable tools’ to that when implemented help participants achieve optimal health.
But more than that… as a wife, a daughter, a sister, a mother to 3 beautiful adult children (36, 32 and 28) and grandmother to 3 of the most adorable grandchildren… I understand what it is like to juggle work, home, life AND health. It would be an honour and privilege to show you how YOU can do it too — for a healthy, vibrant and happy life.

Behavioural Health Practitionerand Counsellor
With 30+ years in education and facilitating organisational change, I know how to help people both recognise the need for change and to make those challenging shifts. I offer you my solution-focused toolkit of 'welcome change' resources, to support you in making the transformation you came for.
I understand first-hand the calibre of support needed to navigate change - and what is needed to make it last.
Fine-tuning what (and how) you eat and understanding the concert of factors impacting your Gut Microbiome is (relatively speaking) the easy part.
What I see again and again when making meaningful, values-based behavioural changes, however, is the struggle that arises against already embedded subconscious choices and attitudes. This struggle is understandable, given that what drives our old, established habits knows and has access to so many of our hot-buttons!
I’m here to help with that. I know from experience that those who are adequately supported and coached through this process have a much higher success rate.
Having made this same journey myself, it is my professional ‘change toolkit’ that I’m now here to share with you, to help ensure true transformation is yours - for keeps!
And, on the personal side… I have 3 beautiful children, 3 adorable grandchildren, a cat and 2 chickens.
Now in my sixth decade I am in better health than my mid-40’s… It would be a privilege to show you how to reach and maintain health while juggling work, home and life.
