My Story

In 2017, after three years in a full on and stressful job, with large amounts of jet lag and extremely small amounts of self care, I experienced burnout. Not 'I need a holiday' burnout, but 'I can't do anything but sit in a chair and look at trees for six months' kind of burnout.

I experienced extreme exhaustion, memory loss, speech loss, hair loss, panic attacks, confusion, gut problems, weight gain, and skin problems. I felt like I was falling apart!

A few months later, one of my main diagnoses was the most severe hypothyroidism my doctor had ever seen. Turned out my stress had triggered Hashimoto's autoimmune disease (the most common autoimmune disease in Western countries). I was told I'd be on medication for life and that there was nothing to be done.

That just didn't sit right with me. I knew whatever was going on had been triggered by my stressful lifestyle. So I started researching - big time! I learnt about HPA axis dysfunction, intestinal permeability, and many other things that told me that I could deal with the root cause of my illness and not just the symptoms.

It took me a year before I was working full time again, but skip forward to today and I'm healthier than ever!

I'm 100% convinced by both scientific research and experience, that many chronic health conditions can be addressed by identifying the root cause and treating the body as a whole, with natural approaches to healing.

The body will always try to heal itself, it just needs the right conditions to do so. And that's exactly the support I want to provide to all my clients!
