Health, Wellness, & Lifestyle Counselling

Collaborative and holistic support for mental health, nutrition and lifestyle

There is a growing body of research in the field of metabolic and nutritional psychiatry indicating that optimal nutrition and lifestyle changes can effectively manage, and even reverse, longstanding mental health issues, autoimmune and chronic health issues, and pain disorders.

Informed by the below principles, the gut-brain axis, and lived experience, I have a particular interest in how your diet and lifestyle may be impacting your mental health and collaborate with you by designing a tailored plan to optimise your wellbeing.

What are the principles of good brain health?

Nourish

Nourish your brain and gut with essential nutrients required for cell optimisation

Energise

Energise your cells with the correct fuel source to power you through the day

Protect

Protect your gut and brain from harmful inflammatory ingredients, toxins, and anti-nutrients

My passion for holistic wellbeing support was initially sparked by living through my own chronic health struggles, which saw me in and out of doctors offices for years before acquiring the right support. Today, I see my experience mirrored in those of my clients, many of which have struggled with their general health despite following all of the conventional methods of healing.

What has been most interesting for me to discover is how many of the chronic health conditions I observe appear to be co-occurring with a mental health issue. As a result, I have become deeply curious about the connection between how what we eat impacts our gut and therefore our brain and quality of life, and have made it my mission to support individuals on their path to feeling safe in their bodies and thriving with their health.

What You Can Expect In Your Sessions With Me

Understanding

I will gather important background information about your health and mental health history, including current diet and lifestyle, medications/supplements, and food sensitivities/preferences, to ensure I have a clear picture of your overall health and habits.

Education

Grounded in science, you will receive relevant nutritional education on how what you're eating may be impacting your health. From here, you will be provided with alternative food and lifestyle options to support your wellbeing that are tailored to you.

Encouragement

You will receive ongoing support and encouragement around the wins as well as the obstacles and challenges you may face. Our work will include regular check in's around what’s working/not working, and collaboration to tweak your plan accordingly.

Holistic Care

There is no 'one sized fits all' approach so I am committed to tailoring my approach to work with your lifestyle, routine, and unique situation. This may also include recommendations to other allied health professionals to ensure you are taken care of and supported holistically.

I look forward to supporting you on your path to vibrant health.
