I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Health Coach, Culinary Nutritionist and SOS Feeding therapist, specialising in nutrition for mental wellbeing and long-term brain health. Through my signature Mood Fuel Method™, I work with women who feel flat, anxious, foggy, or not quite themselves, and with mums who want to build stronger foundations for their teens before problems escalate. This is about more than feeling better in the moment. It is about prevention. Whether you are navigating midlife shifts or you are earlier in adulthood and want to protect your future brain health, we focus on fuelling your brain consistently, strategically, and in a way that works in real life. My approach begins by understanding what is happening beneath the surface, your nutrition patterns, symptoms, lifestyle pressures, and relevant blood markers. From there, we build a personalised plan that supports mood now and reduces long-term cognitive risk. Here’s how it works: 1. Understand Your Baseline We assess your food intake, mood patterns, lifestyle habits, and key biomarkers to identify gaps or imbalances that may be affecting energy, resilience, and focus. 2. Create Your Personalised Mood Fuel Plan I translate that information into a clear nutrition and lifestyle strategy, including practical meal planning and targeted supplementation where appropriate. 3. Strengthen and Sustain Over time, we refine, adjust, and build systems that make nourishing your brain feel structured rather than overwhelming. If you are ready to stop second-guessing your food choices and start supporting your mood with intention, book a 15-minute application call to see if this is the right next step.

Physiotherapist | Researcher | Lecturer | Podcast Producer/Co-host | Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia Committee (WA). The journey from pain back to living can be a tough one, especially if you’re trying to navigate the complexities of the health system, new research, and the multitude of available treatments alone. I aim to simplify that for you, acting as a coach to empower you to back to living. Using a mind-body approach (sometimes called psychologically-informed physiotherapy), I help to: • Make sense of why you hurt (as there are many factors that contribute to pain, with tissue damage usually getting unfairly blamed) • Provide strategies to help you regain control of your symptoms during provocative or frightening tasks that you value • Help facilitate a lifestyle that promotes health, wellbeing, and healing in a holistic way. Grounded in research, this approach can be delivered in person or online via telehealth. My background in teaching and research at Curtin University, combined with my passion for providing digestible content means I am well positioned to support you on your growth and learning journey. Why not start by checking out our ’10 scientific facts about back pain’ infographic and videos published in the prestigious British Journal of Sports Medicine, or by checking out the podcast I co-founded and co-hosted called 'Empowered Beyond Pain'.
