A different kind of nutritional therapy
Compassionate. Weight-Inclusive. Grounded in evidence + empathy.
I believe every body is worthy of care, respect and nourishment
My Story
I’m a nutrition nerd with a soft spot for punk rock, all things spicy, and comfortable clothes – most days you’ll find me in jeans, a tee, and my trusty Converse.
I grew up in a home where food was celebrated, not restricted. Dieting wasn’t a thing, and some of my happiest memories are of sharing food with family. As a teen, I loved sport and ate freely, without thinking much about body size or shape.
My nutrition journey began after losing two close friends far too young – I wanted to understand health on a deeper level and help others live long, meaningful lives. But the more I studied, the more rigid my own food rules became. I realised that even with all the nutrition knowledge in the world, strict diets and food rules don’t heal our relationship with food.
Strict diets and food rules don’t heal our relationship with food
Today, through Lotus Health + Nutrition, I support adults, children and families with compassionate, non-diet, weight-inclusive care. My work focuses on self-compassion, body acceptance, and building a positive, peaceful relationship with food – because health is about so much more than numbers on a scale.
I’m especially passionate about helping children and young people develop healthy body image and confidence, supporting individuals recovering from disordered eating, and empowering families to break free from diet culture together.
Health is about so much more than numbers on a scale
When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll often find me in the kitchen baking for my side venture – Rebel Cakes & Cookies.
It’s my creative outlet and a way to celebrate the joy that food can bring. From cakes and cupcakes to hand-decorated cookies, I love creating treats that bring people together and spark happiness.
For me, it’s another expression of what I believe at my core – that food is meant to be enjoyed, shared and savoured without guilt 🌸
My mission is to help people break free from diet culture and reconnect with their body’s wisdom.
