I am a decolonial nutritional therapy in progress
I am not an expert
I am not an authority figure
I am no more worthy of equality, justice, support or love than anyone else
I welcome honest critique
I am learning and unlearning
I value community, connection and deep conversations
I hold white priveledge, body priviledge, am cis-gender, and am financially resourced.
My work involves partnering, questioning social norms, un-learning and co-learning with each client.
Together we can explore notice how dominant systems might distort your relationship with your own body, food, symptoms, experiences and sense of trust within yourself, your soul or spirit.
I accompany you in navigating ways to reconnect with your innate knowing, your abilities, offering space and practices to enable you to reclaim your inner knowing, identity and strength.
People who care deeply about social justice, ecological sustainability, and collective well-being are navigating an increasingly complex world. We are living through a time of overlapping social, political, economic, and environmental challenges that can leave even the most committed individuals feeling stretched, concerned, or disconnected from their sense of agency.
As a Nutritional Therapist, I recognise how caring for your own well-being is not separate from the “work” of creating a more just world. Sustaining ourselves, nurturing our relationships, and tending to our physical and emotional health are essential foundations for meaningful and lasting engagement.
Part of this care includes nourishing our whole selves, adequately and consistently. Our exposure to consumerism culture, that often promotes quick fixes, restriction, self-criticism, and the pursuit of unrealistic ideals and moves us away from our roots and basic human values.
Supporting well-being, includes pleasure and connection. Eating well does not require rigid rules, dieting, or striving for perfection. Rather, it involves developing a respectful and compassionate relationship with food and with our bodies, recognising our needs for nourishment, satisfaction, rest, and enjoyment. When we are nourished, we are better able to think clearly, regulate and acknowledge our very valid emotions, engage with others, and participate in the work and communities that matter to us.
Part of this work also involves staying connected to our values while remaining flexible and responsive to changing circumstances. It means making space for grief, uncertainty, and complexity without losing sight of possibility. Hope is not the denial of difficult realities; it is the practice of recognising that the future is not yet written. By investing time and care in the people, communities, places, and causes that matter to us, we strengthen our capacity to contribute to positive change. We do not have to carry these challenges alone. Resilience grows through connection, mutual support, and collective action.
For some people (like me!), neurodiversity is also part of this picture. Many neurodivergent individuals are powerful assets for social justice work, including a strong sense of fairness, deep empathy, creativity, pattern recognition, and a willingness to question assumptions and imagine alternatives. At the same time, living in a world that is not always designed for different ways of thinking and processing can present challenges. Executive functioning demands such as planning, prioritising, organising tasks, managing energy, or adapting when plans change can require significant effort. It is important to approach these challenges with self-compassion rather than self-judgement. Building supportive structures, working with your strengths, and recognising your limits are not signs of weakness; they are ways of sustaining your capacity to contribute. Neurodiversity can be both a gift and a challenge, and honouring both realities can help create a more sustainable and authentic path towards meaningful engagement and change.
Looking after your health is not about striving for perfection or meeting external expectations; it is about creating the conditions that allow you to thrive. Nourishing yourself with adequate and enjoyable food, finding forms of movement that feel supportive, prioritising rest and recovery, and making space for connection, pleasure, and meaning can all contribute to greater well-being and resilience. Sometimes, additional support can be helpful. Working with a trusted practitioner can provide guidance, accountability, and practical strategies that are tailored to your individual circumstances. Investing in your own well-being is not a selfish act. When we are well supported, well nourished, and more connected to our own needs, we are often better able to show up for the people we care about, contribute to our communities, and engage with the causes and values that matter most to us.
