my story.

From a young age, I faced difficult gut issues and later hormonal imbalances that chipped away at my confidence. Then, during university, I became seriously unwell with scarlet fever. The illness left me exhausted and run down, and shortly after, I developed psoriasis, a visible sign of the deeper imbalances within my body. This experience was my first real introduction to the importance of gut health and how intimately it’s connected to overall wellbeing.

For years, I thought I knew everything about nutrition - reading all the books, trying every diet trend, restricting, fasting, and obsessing over what I ate. But I was caught in cycles of restriction and bingeing, fasting without understanding how my hormones were impacted, and pushing my body with stressful workouts that only added to my overwhelm.

Discovering yoga 15 years ago was a blessing, it helped me slow down and begin listening to my body in a new way. This shift was especially crucial when I faced some of my hardest health challenges.

During pregnancy, I suffered severe hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), crippling pelvic pain, and a traumatic birth. Postpartum brought deep exhaustion, postnatal depression, and PMDD that ruled my life with unpredictable mood swings, anxiety, fatigue and emotional chaos.

When I trained as a Nutritionist, functional lab testing revealed underlying imbalances that I hadn’t been able to see before. With personalised guidance, I addressed these through targeted diet changes, lifestyle adjustments, and carefully chosen supplementation. This holistic approach helped heal my gut, restore my energy, calm my nervous system, and balance my hormones.

Today, my skin is clear, my digestion is steady, and I have the energy and vitality to fully engage in life - playing with my son, caring for my family, and showing up as my best self.

Along the way, I fell in love with creating nourishing, whole food recipes using food as medicine to support healing from the inside out.

The word calm has become deeply important to me because my journey has shown me that healing isn’t just about fixing symptoms, it’s about creating space for peace in the mind and body. Calm is the foundation where true balance, confidence, and wellness grow. It’s the gentle reset we all need when life feels overwhelming, and it’s at the heart of everything I teach and share.

My mission is to help as many women as possible heal and find their optimal health and wellbeing using everything I have learned - guiding them with kindness, expertise, and a personalised, holistic approach.

Because real healing is possible, and it starts with kindness, understanding, and a personalised, strategic approach.

What is Functional & Personalised Nutrition?

Functional and personalised nutrition is a science-led, whole-body approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than simply managing them. It recognises that every woman is biochemically unique, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to health.

Instead, we look at how systems in the body (like hormones, gut, brain, immune and detox pathways) interact, and how factors such as stress, sleep, diet, movement, environment, and mindset all play a role in your wellbeing.

Using a combination of detailed case taking, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle medicine and where appropriate, functional testing - we build a personalised plan that supports your body to restore balance, naturally and sustainably. It’s about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

The Calm Method

Functional Testing

Getting to the root cause - not just covering symptoms.

Sometimes, no matter how well you eat, sleep or supplement, you still don’t feel right because the deeper imbalances haven’t been addressed.
That’s where functional testing comes in: it gives us real insights into what’s happening inside your body, so we can create a personalised plan based on facts, not guesswork.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the tests we might explore together:

1. DUTCH Test

(Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

The DUTCH test is the gold standard for mapping out your hormones in incredible detail.
It measures your sex hormones (like oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and stress hormones (like cortisol), showing not just how much you have but how your body is using and clearing them.

I might recommend the DUTCH test if you’re struggling with:

  • PMS, PMDD, painful or irregular periods

  • PCOS or fertility challenges

  • Low mood, anxiety, feeling wired and tired

  • Perimenopause or menopausal symptoms

  • Unexplained fatigue, bloating, or stubborn weight gain

There’s even an option to map hormone fluctuations across your whole cycle if needed.

2. Comprehensive Stool Testing

(GI EcologiX Stool Profile)

Your gut health affects everything from your skin to your hormones to your mental health.
This advanced stool test looks at your gut bacteria, inflammation markers, infections, digestion and more, giving us a real window into your internal health.

I might suggest a stool test if you’re dealing with:

  • Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea or IBS symptoms

  • Acne, eczema, or rosacea

  • Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, or mood swings

  • Food intolerances or autoimmune issues

3. Blood Testing

(MediChecks or similar labs)

Simple blood tests can give powerful insights into your nutrient status, thyroid health, blood sugar balance and more.
I often recommend basic panels to check on things like:

  • Thyroid function (TSH, T4, T3, thyroid antibodies)

  • Sex hormones (LH, FSH, oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone)

  • Iron, ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D

  • Blood sugar (fasting glucose, fasting insulin)

These tests are especially helpful if you have symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, low mood, stubborn weight, or irregular cycles.

A Note About Testing

Testing is completely optional.
I work with plenty of women without any testing at all and we can absolutely make incredible progress using symptoms, history and food-first strategies.

If you are curious about testing, I’ll guide you through whether it’s the right choice for you based on your goals, symptoms and budget.
(And you’ll never feel pressured into anything.)

Sometimes the right information can be the missing piece that brings it all together.

I believe

in whole body healing

I am passionate about helping women reconnect with their bodies and thrive.

I believe true healing is never just about food, it’s about supporting the whole woman.

Your mind, body, hormones, gut health, stress levels, sleep, movement, and emotions are all connected.
That’s why my approach is rooted in whole-body healing - not quick fixes, but real lifestyle shifts that are nurturing, sustainable, and empowering.

I’m here to guide you with personalised nutrition, mindful movement, and compassionate coaching, so you can rebuild your energy, balance your hormones, and feel strong, steady, and confident again.

Because when you nourish your whole self, you don’t just heal - you absolutely glow and thrive.
