My Story
I am passionate about using the power of food as medicine to support your body as nature intended.
​
Blessed with an Italian mother, food was my Nonna's love language. She had the biggest back-yard veggie patch and spent many hours nurturing it, swapping her produce with local Italians, and cooking up a storm to feed her visitors. She picked and planted under the guidance of the moon cycle, seemingly attuned to the healing nature of food before the science published it.
​
I've always loved food and learned what not eating enough nutritious food, or eating too much of the wrong types can do to your body.
​
I played many sports during my youth, including cricket, gymnastics, AFL, tennis, soccer, netball (to name a few).
​
After becoming a mother of three, I embraced new challenges like running, obstacle courses, figure sculpting and boxing - all of which led to experimenting and researching optimal nutrition to fuel these events.
​
Having personally experienced the nutritional demands of these athletic pursuits, I not only comprehend the unique dietary needs but also empathise with the potential obstacles my clients might face.
Now, as a parent of teenagers, I bring an enriched understanding of navigating dietary and lifestyle choices, offering valuable insights and practical tips tailored to different life stages.
