As a Health Engineer, I have translated my expertise into impactful health transformation strategies, distinguishing myself as a trailblazer in personalised wellness.
My academic achievements include a PhD in Engineering and a Masters of Science in Health Coaching, highlighting my ability to apply scientific rigour and an engineering mindset to human health. With specialised certifications in Functional Nutrition and as a recent graduate of the Kalish Institute of Functional Medicine, I am a leading expert in creating optimal health.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to leveraging nutrition and lifestyle modifications to empower individuals in their health journeys. By integrating deep knowledge of functional medicine with a personalised approach to wellness, I provide hope for those navigating endometriosis, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and beyond.
Inspiring resilience and vitality, I equip my clients with self-care tools and ignite a broader conversation about the pivotal role of nutrition and lifestyle in achieving optimal health. My visionary approach through Health Engineering is about nurturing a society where strength, wellness, and longevity are within everyone’s reach.
Functional nutrition involves exploring the root causes of your health challenges by looking “upstream” from your signs and symptoms. I use this information within my proven framework, incorporating your goals and requirements, to create a customised nutrition and lifestyle plan with you and for you.
Together, we will explore your health history, genetics, and current health challenges. I will help you piece together your unique puzzle to create a healing path forward.
I uniquely apply an engineering mindset to health challenges, a skill I developed while earning my Doctorate in Engineering. This approach allows me to think beyond conventional “one size fits all” health programmes and create impactful, personalised healing plans.
Understanding the “why” behind lifestyle changes is crucial. Alongside recommending diet, lifestyle, and supplements to support healing, I also explain how the body works and how your symptoms arise from root causes. I use pictures, books, and other references to ensure you fully understand your healing process.
I dedicated eight years to studying health and functional nutrition, learning from top experts in the USA. I began by certifying as a Health Coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and then earned a Masters of Science in Health Coaching. I also became a USA National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach. To deepen my understanding of how the body can heal through diet and lifestyle, I completed certification as a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner (FNLP) and studied with The Kalish Institute of Functional Medicine.
As a lifelong learner, I attended various courses in gut health and hormone health and studied directly with Dr. Terry Wahls, becoming the first New Zealand Wahls Protocol Certified Practitioner. I continue to study specialised topics with leaders in functional nutrition to ensure I have the most current, science-backed information.
In my Health Engineering approach, I focus on your individuality to develop a nutrition and lifestyle strategy tailored to your unique needs and health. I specialise in helping people feel better, improve their energy, maximise their health potential, and thrive in life.
As your partner in health, I provide the support and guidance essential for transforming your well-being. Together, we will discuss what is happening with your body and create a personalised programme with actionable steps to restore balance and start thriving again.
Some clients work with their specialists and doctors alongside me, while others choose a completely natural approach to healing.
My client success stories are the most rewarding part of my work. To see children under 10 starting to thrive at school again, a female in her 30s finally have her first child after working on fertility support with me, people with chronic fatigue or chronic inflammation start to feel fabulous again, clients healing their brain fog and thinking clearly for the first time in years, endometriosis symptoms decreasing, clients being able to finally decrease or go off long term medications, and client’s autoimmune conditions calming down.
There are so many stories (click here to read some of them) of my clients going through remarkable and life changing healing journeys with me. I am blessed and honoured to work with each of them.
I love working with clients one-on-one. This allows me to spend time with them regularly and gain a deeper understanding of their needs, becoming their partner in healing.
I ensure that all clients learn extensively about their own health and how to make meaningful improvements.
Everyone leaves with a toolbox full of helpful information to support the next stage of their healing journey.
