Realistic advice for real lives

Here’s the thing: knowledge alone doesn’t create change. That’s why I focus on supporting people to create habits that make it easier to eat well, move more, sleep better and take charge of their mental wellbeing without having to rely on willpower to stay on track.

I take a holistic approach combining:  

• 20 years of work as a degree qualified nutritionist 

• Knowledge from my diploma in positive psychology and wellbeing

• Wisdom from experience overcoming my own mental health challenges 

• My passion for fitness, sleep and neuroscience.

I’d love to help you finally create the change you’ve been hoping for!

My latest book - End your fight with food

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of trying to eat better then blaming yourself when you can’t keep on track? You’re not alone - and it’s not your fault. We’re overwhelmed with advice on how to be healthy, or lose weight, or look a certain way - but actually making lasting changes can feel impossible.

Combining my professional and personal experience, I wrote this book to help you break free from the struggle. It’s a practical and compassionate guide to understanding your relationship with food, your body, and your mind - so you can stop just surviving and start feeling truly well.

Published by Allen & Unwin

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Shift unhelpful eating patterns and nourish your body and mind

• Let go of guilt and self-blame

• Stop relying on willpower and build habits that last

• Move your body in ways that feel good, not punishing

• Sleep better and reclaim your energy

• Manage stress with realistic, research-backed tools

• Strengthen your relationships and support network

• Connect with your values and find a sense of purpose

• Focus on feeling better - not just chasing a number on the scales or reaching unrealistic expectations

This isn’t another diet book. It’s a roadmap to real wellbeing - grounded, kind, and genuinely life-changing.

💛 If you’re ready to stop struggling and start feeling good again, this is your next step. It will be the best money you spend this year.
