Having worked as a chef for the past 20 years, I have gained a profound love for food and the hospitality industry. My career has allowed me to travel the world learning about different cuisines, flavour profiles and culinary techniques. I have come to a point in my life where I’d like to combine my skills and embark on a new journey focussing on helping people overcome health challenges by introducing them to the benefits of eating healthy food, detoxing, toxicology and nutrition. Whether it's weight loss, ways to improve digestion, recovery from inflammation or simply just adopting better eating habits, I want to support clients while they work towards a healthier, more balanced life. Having recently qualified as a Detox Specialist and Holistic nutritionist, I truly believe in the power of food, more specifically that food is medicine and want to share this with my clients. Culinary medicine is a unique concept that combines nutrition and culinary knowledge blending the art of food and cooking, with the science of medicine. The idea of using food as medicine works on the belief that you can use natural foods as well as conventional medicine to heal people. By combining years of experience as a chef and my training as a holistic nutritionist, I can help clients make excellent food-based decisions about how to eat food that prevents disease and treat existing problems including chronic conditions whilst restoring a sense of wellbeing. My work now involves empowering clients to take charge of their health, manage food habits and live with any on-going health conditions but from a point of strength and control. I offer personalised detox plans based on science-backed detox protocols that can help clients build a personalised detox plan, including toxicity screening, symptom assessment, food plans and guide them towards a healthy whole foods diet long term.
