I have been interested in health and wellbeing for as long as I can remember. For years I followed the prevailing advice and tried different diets. Now I can smile and remember the desperate attempts I made to lose weight by avoiding fat. As a result of this, my whole body was put into a state of disarray, and I fell into a cycle of illness. Doctors did blood tests and scans in search of the cause, but no one asked me what I was eating or how I was taking care of myself.
I want to bring holistic wellbeing into your life. Let's get rid of unnecessary stress and add good, healthy things together!

In 2014 life threw me in a new direction and I ended up studying Functional Medicine with Paula Heinonen. I became deeply immersed in nutrition and the holistic approach to nutrition and living immediately felt like my own. Many things became clearer in my mind.
No one is ever fully learned in this profession. New research is coming out all the time and we are getting deeper and deeper into the nooks and crannies of the human body. I am constantly learning and updating my knowledge in the field of functional medicine.
