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 previous work in the hospital and community health sectors and experience in delivering corporate health and wellbeing programs has shaped my ability to understand the fuller life picture, and has also lead me down a new path towards teaching a more intuitive approach to food and health.

I am still learning and exploring the complexities of food and the relationship we have with it in order to offer women a more nourishing and embracing way of living a full and authentic life. 

How I can help you

I would love the opportunity to explore and guide you to create a positive and productive relationship with food.
Through a more liberated approach, I can show you that eating well doesn't always mean starving yourself but instead, achieve a way of life that you can continue doing always. 

The little things

  • In my spare time, I enjoy getting together with friends over a wine, doing some retail therapy and pottering around in my garden
  • I'm a mum to two small people and two miniature schnauzers
  • My secret treat is a warm, almond croissant eaten alongside a cafe latte
  • Hot Yoga has become my new "me-time" activity - it's my mini escape to Bali each week, just for the hour​​
