I can honestly say that food has been my greatest teacher.
It has been my life’s work, my craft, my healing path, my livelihood and one of the deepest ways I have come to understand myself and connect with others.
Over the years, it has taken me on a journey of professional studies, inner inquiry, teaching, doing business, working in hospitality, and an exploration of what it means to be human.
Like so many of us, the deeper food journey began with a desire to heal. Through navigating my own health challenges, I began to see how deeply our early experiences shape our relationship with ourselves, our bodies, and the way in which we nourish and care for ourselves.
I learned to adapt and survive by living outside of myself, and over time, it was in my relationship with food that this sense of disconnect and lack of safety became most visible.
I began to experience from the inside how health symptoms are a true expression of our inner world, and how our relationship with food serves as a living, breathing reflection of who we are, and how we are living and relating, both individually and collectively.
It is this understanding that sits at the heart of my work, Freedom Through Food, a movement of nourishment, connection and inner freedom, supporting people to reconnect from the inside out and rediscover food as a pathway back home to themselves, to each other, and to life itself.
Food is a living, breathing reflection of who we are, and how we are living and relating
TRAINING & EXPERIENCE
My work is informed by over two decades of study, personal exploration, and professional experience spanning nutrition, healing, awareness practices, personal transformation, food education, retreat environments, and restaurants.
I have worked in private practice as a nutritionist and naturopath, cooked as a Holistic Chef on retreats, taught workshops and cookery classes, and supported people in learning how to cook and eat for health.
What these experiences have taught me is that food is never just about food alone – it is about relationship, belonging, love, culture, health, creativity and connection, and one of the most powerful ways we communicate and come together as human beings.

LIFE AS MY TEACHER
Life continues to be my greatest teacher. Much of what I share has emerged not only through formal training, but through lived experience, deep listening, and an ongoing commitment to learning from food, people, nature, and life itself.
I currently live in Bath, where I feel continuously inspired by nature and beauty, and the richness of community and spaces where people can show up as they truly are.
