My story - so far...
I've been working to help people optimize their health for over 20 years. My family have had their share of health problems - my mom is a breast cancer survivor and my dad passed away from Parkinson's disease several years ago. So I have always wanted to help people find gentle, effective paths to better health.
I'm convinced that one of the keys to better health is through eating real foods - the foods our bodies evolved to thrive on. I’ve spent my entire adult life trying to figure out what to eat to be healthy. I was vegetarian for over thirty years, but I often felt tired, despite being very careful to make sure I had my nutrient bases covered. And over the years, my (also vegetarian) husband gained a ton of weight.
So, a few years ago, we decided to go ketogenic (talk about going from one extreme to the other). Lots of animal protein, tons of fats, no grains, low carbs. Guess what? We both lost weight very fast, and the niggling hip and knee pain I’d been noticing disappeared, which was great.
Weird and unexpected …
But then something weird (and totally unexpected) happened. After a while, I started to gain weight. In fact, I ended up weighing more than I did before going ketogenic. And I couldn’t sleep. I kept waking up every hour or two, night after night. It didn’t occur to me at that point that my new eating habits might be the cause - I just blamed it on menopause. A little later, my husband started to regain the weight he lost, despite eating fewer and fewer carbs. What was going on? And how could I fix it?
I started to research deeply into how nutrition impacts health and this led to my being certified as a nutritional therapy practitioner and gaining an advanced qualification as a restorative wellness practitioner. This answered a lot of my questions, and gave me some awesome tools for figuring out what nutrients I (and my clients) need. But I felt there was still something missing...
The problem
I realized that we’ve all been misled for a long time about food and health, and what we should be eating. We're told that there’s a one-size-fits-all solution to our health and weight problems. We’re led to believe that all we need is willpower, exercise and a “balanced diet,” which just makes us feel like it’s all our fault, because when we follow the advice, it either doesn’t work, or it works for a bit and then all the weight comes back. And, if we’re sick, or in pain, we’re told to take a pill (or several) that may come with side effects and a big insurance bill. This approach makes me really mad, because my previous work as a homeopath showed me that there are much gentler alternatives to many conventional medications.
I knew that the best way to improve health and prevent disease was to eat the right foods. But the right foods seemed to be different for each person. How could I figure out what they were?
The solution
I kept hunting for a solution to this and eventually I found it. This was the missing piece for me and I want to share it with you, to help you reach your goal weight (and maintain it) AND improve your health and feel great while you're doing it.
The approach that I use is scientifically tested and proven. It’s been used for thirty years in Europe by over one million people to lose weight safely and keep it off, leading to measurably better health.

I began practicing homeopathy in 2001, when I graduated from the Institute of Classical Homeopathy. Prior to that I worked in human resources, recruitment and training in the UK. I decided to study nutritional therapy following my experiences with my own diet, and after I found myself giving more and more nutritional advice to my homeopathy clients. As a metabolic balance coach I can help you identify the right foods for you - so you can lose weight and keep it off. In addition, my training with Restorative Wellness Solutions means I can run labs to assess the health of your microbiome and digestion, identify food sensitivities, and check adrenal health and male and female hormone balance.
Since moving to Nevada, my practice is focused solely on nutritional therapy, which means I can provide a foundation for better health through identifying the right foods for your body's unique needs. Targeted nutritional testing allows me to identify the right supplements to address your health concerns. This means that you get quality supplements that work for you, and you don't waste money on things that you don't need.
In addition to my work with clients, I served as the editor-in-chief of The American Homeopath, a journal for professional homeopaths from 2010 to 2021.
