Specialising in breast cancer support was a natural choice following my own diagnosis over twenty-five years ago. Despite excellent medical care I knew I needed ‘more than medicine’ to recover, and I had a strong sense that my diet and lifestyle choices had contributed to my problems.

So I went back to college in 1999 to train as a nutritional therapist and later added coaching skills and postgraduate studies in nutrigenomics to my practice. What started out as a personal mission to understand the links between my diet, lifestyle and habits has blossomed into a deep and lasting vocation for helping other women in the same situation.

I have learned that cancer is not random, as we are so often led to believe, but personal. Cancer is about what we eat, how we live, the things we surround ourselves with, and the genes we inherited. A cancer diagnosis means that we were living in a way that overwhelmed our body’s damage and repair capacity, an equation that differs for each individual.

Cancer asks us to change the way we interact with the world. We need to give ourselves permission to live life on our own terms, based on our psychological and physiological limits, respecting the deep self-knowledge that is there when you listen. A healthy life is not a one size fits all formula, it’s uniquely personal, and I’d love to help you find out what that means for you.

My work is based in evidence, experience and empathy, drawing on the science while encouraging your own interpretation. I help dozens of women each year to see their situation with new eyes, and regain their health and happiness.
