About me

With a Master of Applied Science in Nutrition Diploma, earned with first-class honours from the Edison Institute of Nutrition (EIN), my journey into holistic health began from an early passion for understanding how nutrition shapes overall well-being. As a dedicated advocate for optimal health, I believe that true wellness starts by addressing root causes, tailoring nutrition and dietary strategies to each individual’s unique needs.

Following my master's studies, where I chose to research antinutrients more closely, I authored the book A Closer Look at Antinutrients in Food. The book delves into the impact of these compounds on nutrient absorption and health, offering insights and practical guidelines to help others make informed dietary choices.

As a Certified Metabolic Balance Coach, I specialize in a personalized weight management approach that empowers my clients to lose weight naturally while enhancing their health and quality of life. My goal is to provide sustainable solutions that foster lasting vitality.
