for the love of lemons
My journey started many years ago when I suffered with severe IBS, inflamed
acne, fatigue and very poor immune function. I was sick all the time, not
knowing what was causing my issues. It left me with anxiety and I realised
something needed to change. After a lot of personal research and the support
from an amazing nutritional therapist, I found something that worked for me. I
discovered I was deficient in so many nutrients and needed to eliminate, and
introduce certain foods to help me heal naturally. This is when I realised the
power and the healing benefits of eating well. Food really is medicine! Once I
started to heal I really wanted to share my knowledge with others. If I could
feel better, then I wanted other people to feel better too. So, I left my career
in design to work in the natural health industry to learn more. This is when I
started to run workshops to teach people how to make healthy and nutritious
food. My main mission was, and still is, to help others and to give them the
tools they need to improve their health. Today, after studying to become a
Nutrition Coach, I can now help others on a greater scale. I absolutely love
what I do. I know I had to go through my own struggle to be where I am today and
I am grateful for the journey. I am still on this journey and I am always
learning and listening to my body now. I love food and I love cooking with
different types of foods. I have been introduced to whole new flavours and
tastes. I have fun in the kitchen and like to throw things together. I am quite
impatient, so cooking is usually less than 30 mins if possible. I also have a
love for chocolate, so I am always coming up with new ways to satisfy my
cravings. Check out my Chocolate Beetroot Truffles. A great naturally sweet
treat.
