My Journey
I discovered nutrition therapy shortly after the birth of my second child who suffered repeated allergies, as well as ear and respiratory infections. As a result of several life events, I also struggled with adrenal fatigue, severe anaemia and gut dysbiosis.
Inspired by the power of nutrition, I embarked on a learning journey to become a nutrition therapist with the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in the hope to help people in their wellness journey, to discover the power of food, nutrition and functional medicine. The difference it made to our lives was incredible!
My son now has a robust immune system, and my performance as a Triathlete considerably improved.
I am passionate about triathlon and endurance sports. Surrounded by athletes expressing their needs for nutritional advice, it became evident that combining my passions made absolute sense. I support athletes around the world with a functional & integrative approach to improve their health and performance goals. My clientele is typically Ironman to sprint distance triathletes and long-distance runners or cyclists.
