Before nutritional medicine, I spent two decades as a chef in restaurants and cooking for private clients on yachts. My interest in nutrition was first sparked when a family I worked for shifted to a fully vegan diet. I wanted to truly understand nutrition from the inside out, not just cook it.

That interest became much more personal through my own skin health journey. After struggling with perioral dermatitis for years and finding little relief through conventional approaches, I began exploring the connection between nutrition, gut and microbiome health, and a wide range of health conditions. What I found changed the way I thought about health and ultimately shaped much of my clinical focus today.

Today I bring together 20 years of real food cooking and hands-on experience with evidence-based clinical nutrition. I give clients strategies that are scientifically grounded and completely liveable.

My approach is grounded in treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. I take time to uncover root causes and create individualised strategies that are practical, sustainable and empowering.
