My exploration of health, healing, and the human experience
When I think about healing, I think of roots. The unseen parts beneath the surface that determine the strength, resilience, and direction of everything above. Nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation are part of those roots, but so are our emotions, our histories, and the patterns we carry in our bodies.
Over time, my work has evolved to include both the practical aspects of nutrition, cooking, and lifestyle, and the less tangible but equally, if not more, important support that comes from exploring emotional depth. I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned through these three blog series:
Reflections
This series shares insights from my work with clients and within the wider health industry. I share stories about the deeper layers of healing, what happens when we slow down, listen to the body, and approach nutrition not as a set of rules but as a relationship. I also explore the challenges my clients face throughout the process, often long before they begin working with me.
Quick Picks
These are my “quick and useful” reads, short and practical pieces on specific topics I find interesting and relevant. They’re for those moments when you want to learn something tangible and immediately applicable without getting lost in theory.
The Ground Beneath
Exploring the foundations of my work; the clinical, physiological, and emotional frameworks that sit beneath symptoms and shape how healing unfolds. It’s where I articulate the thinking behind my approach, drawing on functional nutrition and nervous system-informed practice. These pieces are more theoretical in nature and written primarily for practitioners, students, and those interested in healing rather than seeking it.
My hope is that you’ll find something here that speaks to you, whether it’s a practical tip you can use today or a reflection that helps you see your own health journey in a new light.
Cortisol is often blamed for stubborn belly fat, but the real story is more complex. This reflection explores how chronic stress reshapes metabolism, appetite, and recovery, and why sustainable health rarely comes from targeting a single hormone.
Read MoreMany women arrive seeking relief from symptoms, only to discover they are moving through deeper life transitions. This reflection explores how digestion, energy, and emotional change often signal quiet thresholds asking for a new relationship with the body.
Read MoreGut health supplements can support digestion, the microbiome, and gut lining repair, but timing and sequencing matter. This Quick Picks guide explains what different supplements do and why personalised support often determines lasting results.
Read MoreMany people diagnosed with IBS are unknowingly living with SIBO. From rapid bloating after meals to worsening symptoms with healthy foods or probiotics, this reflection explores the patterns your gut may already be trying to show you.
Read MoreIBS is not one condition with one cause. From digestion and microbiome imbalance to hormones, nervous system load, and emotional patterns, this article explores the deeper layers that often sit beneath chronic gut symptoms.
Read MoreFermented foods and prebiotics support a healthy gut, but not every gut is ready for them. This Quick Picks guide explains why symptoms can worsen during inflammation or dysbiosis, and how stabilising digestion often comes before optimisation.
Read MoreStress management often soothes the surface without changing what the body is holding underneath. This reflection explores how nervous system patterns and emotional load influence digestion, energy, and the deeper conditions required for healing.
Read MoreGut symptoms are not only about digestion. This reflection explores how stress, emotional suppression, and nervous system load shape gut health through the gut–brain axis, and why healing often begins with connection rather than control.
Read MoreUpgrading your kitchen doesn’t have to happen all at once. From removing plastics to choosing cast iron and carbon steel, this Quick Picks guide explores simple swaps that reduce chemical exposure and support long-term, practical cooking habits.
Read MoreEndless information can make healing feel harder, not easier. This reflection explores why meaningful change often begins when you stop trying to manage complex gut symptoms alone and allow steady support to guide the process.
Read MoreCoffee can support focus and provide antioxidants, but quality, timing, and preparation matter. From mould exposure to caffeine dependence and chemical-free decaf choices, here’s how to make coffee work better for your health.
Read MoreDespite growing evidence, nutrition is still often dismissed in modern healthcare. This reflection explores why food remains foundational to healing, and how patients can advocate for more integrated, compassionate care.
Read MoreGut healing rarely follows a predictable timeline. Early symptom relief can arrive quickly, while true stability develops slowly as nervous system patterns and long-standing stress responses begin to reorganise.
Read MoreHealing complex digestive symptoms requires more than a protocol. This article explains how structured support, steady pacing, and ongoing review create the conditions for lasting gut and nervous system change.
Read MoreChronic digestive symptoms are rarely only about food. When emotional load and long-term endurance reshape nervous system priorities, digestion often becomes secondary. This article explores why gut symptoms frequently reflect adaptation rather than failure.
Read MoreIf you're curious about my work and interested in what it actually feels like, I offer a small number of FREE, standalone Somatic Compassionate Inquiry sessions each month.
This is not a call to discuss working together. It's simply a chance to personally experience this approach with time to reflect afterward.
