In my Personal Wellness practice, I specialise in female health — because I’ve been there.
I know how it feels when your body starts to shut down and you don’t understand why. You’ve been holding it all together, pushing through, doing everything you’re supposed to do… and yet things still feel like they’re falling apart.
You may have even heard something like:
“Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do — it just happens.”
But I’m here to tell you:
There is always hope. And you are not alone.
Here is my story
I first developed rosacea at age 24 while working as a waitress in a London restaurant. After just two days on the job, my face turned bright, burning red with pale circles around my eyes and mouth — and it stayed that way for the next couple of years. I was single, dreaming of a relationship, and working in a customer-facing role. I was deeply embarrassed to show my face, yet I had no choice.
I went to my GP and was diagnosed with acne rosacea. I was told I was “lucky” and prescribed oral contraceptive pills, which didn’t help. I then saw a couple of private dermatologists who recommended Azelaic acid cream — also without success. Eventually, a private doctor prescribed Roaccutane. It worked, but the side effects were so severe I had to stop after two months. The rosacea returned, though not as badly — now only covering my cheeks. I tried countless creams, but when it started appearing on my neck, I knew I didn’t want to go back on medication. I also realised that skincare products alone weren’t the answer. I needed a new approach.
That’s when I discovered Nutritional Therapy.
The idea of treating the body as a whole, rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, deeply resonated with me. The more I read, the more it made sense.
This knowledge came just in time. I had also been struggling with depression and couldn’t understand why. I had been vegetarian for nine years and assumed I was healthier than most. But it turns out that eating balanced meals is more important for health than simply cutting out meat.
After three years of study, I had my diploma in hand, my rosacea under control, and a passion for nutrition. Still, I kept it as a part-time hobby while building a successful career in finance in London — until everything changed.
At 36, I started experiencing strange symptoms: hot flashes, insomnia, brain fog. My diet was good. My lifestyle was okay. But stress? Completely out of control. I went to the GP, got my thyroid tested, had blood work done — everything came back “normal.” But my periods had nearly disappeared. A year later, I was told I was in early menopause. There was no treatment to reverse it, and a referral to a specialist would take another 10 months.
I knew I couldn’t wait. The system wasn’t there to help me.
So I took matters into my own hands. I read, researched, and made tough career decisions. And today, I’m grateful I chose what was best for my body.
Looking back, I can now connect the dots and see the deeper reasons why things unfolded the way they did.
My experience with the healthcare system was deeply disappointing — cold, unsupported, and lacking hope. I had the benefit of nutrition knowledge to help myself. But what about the women who don’t? Who are told there are no options — just pills, hormones, or waiting?
It breaks my heart how poorly women are treated:
Early Menopause? The only solution offered is HRT — no discussion of the root cause, just symptom management with risk factors and side effects.
Skin issues? No matter your age, the recommendation is the contraceptive pill — again, side effects ignored.
Mental health or quality of life? Rarely asked about, because addressing it might cost more resources.
And this isn’t just my story. I’ve heard it again and again from the women I’ve worked with — stories of being dismissed, ignored, and left to figure it out alone.
That’s why I decided it was time to make nutrition my career, not just my passion.
I’m here to provide the support, to listen, to guide and advise — so you don’t have to go through it alone.
