​“Let me educate and inspire ​you to live a better,
balanced life through the nurturing of food. 

​I want to give you back the sense of empowerment to change and make a difference to yourself and those living around you."

Background

My food beliefs stem from a culturally diverse upbringing with a Chinese mother and an Italian-Australian father where everyone is brought together over a meal. I believe that a strong, positive relationship with food is important for nourishment and emotional wellbeing and I want to share and support other's to have the same approach.

My work in the hospital and community health sectors and extensive past experience in delivering corporate health and wellbeing programs in the workplace has shaped my ability to understand the fuller life picture. I have also facilitated the Life! Taking action on heart disease, stroke and diabetes program and have recently joined the Jamie Oliver Ministry of Food 'Learn Your Fruit and Vegetable' program as an accredited facilitator, which I find incredibly rewarding. I hope that everyone can experience from a young age, the love of food that I have.

How I can help you

I would love the opportunity to guide and support you to create a positive and productive relationship with food, helping you to find new solutions and ways to think about your nutrition in ways that work with your lifestyle. There are several options available to you.

The little things

  • In my spare time, I enjoy getting together with friends, going to markets, veggie gardening and weekend breaks to the coast or highlands.
  • I have two miniature schnauzers that rule my house!
  • ​I love starting the day with a list of activities to do. 
  • My secret treat is a croissant with jam.
  • Always making time for me is a must on the weekend.​​
