I grew up in a health-conscious family where food, herbs, and natural remedies were part of daily life. My mum always had a home remedy ready — honey and black seed oil for colds, herbal teas for cramps, and wholesome, home-cooked meals made with love. Health was seen as something you lived, not just something you chased when unwell.

That early exposure shaped how I saw the body — as something wise and capable of healing when given the right support. But as I grew older, my relationship with health became more complicated. Like many women, I internalised messages about body image and “clean eating,” and what began as care turned into control. I slipped into orthorexia — obsessing over perfection, fearing “bad” foods, and tying my self-worth to how “healthy” I was.

It took years of unlearning, therapy, and gentle self-reflection to realise that true wellness isn’t about rigidity — it’s about our relationships: to food, to our body, to our emotions, and to our internal needs and signals that are being ignored.

When I later navigated my own diagnosis of ADHD, I was drawn to the stories of women and neurodivergent clients who felt misunderstood or unseen by mainstream care. Many of them shared the same struggles I’d once lived: fatigue dismissed as laziness, anxiety labelled as overreaction, or health issues minimised because “your bloods look fine.”

As I worked more closely with these communities, particularly those living with invisible disability and culturally diverse backgrounds:I started to see the deeper connections — how ADHD and autism can influence so much of our health (and our children’s): our food choices, energy levels, hormones, gut health and microbiome, mental health, and so much more.

Today, my work focuses on mental health, neurodivergence, children’s and women’s health — helping clients restore balance with compassion and science. I blend evidence-based naturopathy with a trauma-informed and neuroaffirming lens, guiding people back to trust in their bodies, their rhythms, and themselves.

For me, this isn’t just about supplements or protocols — it’s about wholeness, accessibility, and realistic, honest healthcare. Because healing isn’t linear or perfect. It’s deeply personal, beautifully messy, and sacred work.
