I learnt in my teens to manage & eventually overcome Rheumatoid arthritis. The pain & suffering eventually revealed how much tension I was carrying through my body. I trialed many dietary models & worked to find movement that felt welcome in my body, not an endurance... 

​

This began after long-term suffering with chronic fatigue following a ruptured appendix. I was finally labelled with Rheumatoid Arthritis age 15. A painful inflammatory condition that effected my joints, leaving me debilitated, exhausted & depressed. 

Medicines were making me worse with side effects & I began to believe the narrative Dr's told me... that I would be in a wheelchair by 30.

​

I had to understand the body better so I could support myself & find a new trajectory.

​

I became inquisitive of alternatives. I was surprised to find my I was capable of so much more than the Drs had sentenced me to. I was in awe of this lost connection I was reestablishing with myself.

 I took a whole rewilding approach, stripping back all aspect of my life, spending more time outside & eating whole foods. As my mobility & mindset began to improve I followed the path that felt right - to study Nutrition & Yoga. After many fascinating years of study (of which continues with Herbal Medicine) I'm pleased I can finally support others on such transformative journeys.
