BUILD CAPACITY FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LEAD

Certified Practising Nutritionist (BHSc). Evidence-based clinical nutrition + recovery support for ambitious, high-performing people

When you are driven, slowing down often only occurs when your body demands it. I help you build the physiology to keep up, without resorting to extremes

CLINICAL NUTRITION & STRESS RESILIANCE

High performance can hide depletion. If you are experiencing fatigue, sleep disruption, brain fog, cravings, low mood, or feeling “wired but tired,” the issue is typically related to capacity, not mindset. Most high achievers don’t need more rules. They need a strategy that reduces cognitive load, stabilises physiology, and remains effective during demanding weeks that include travel, deadlines, long days, and family responsibilities.

WHAT I OPTIMISE SO YOU CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Sleep quality (depth, waking, nervous system downshift)

Mood stability (less reactivity, steadier baseline)

Energy and focus (fewer crashes, clearer thinking)

Stress resilience (better recovery, less “always on”)

Sustainable food behaviours that are neither restrictive nor fragile

Perfection is not required. Consistent actions drive results.

HOW I WORK

Clinical clarity.

Real-life implementation.

I consider your symptoms, history, and current constraints, then use relevant data to eliminate guesswork.

1) Assess. We review symptoms, diet patterns, sleep, stress load, training, medications/supplements, and what your weeks actually look like.

2) Interpret. Where available, we review relevant pathology (bloods) and other data (wearables, symptom patterns). If appropriate, we can coordinate targeted testing via third parties.

3) Implement. You receive a plan tailored to your actual schedule, with built-in defaults to reduce decision fatigue and a reset approach for interruptions, so you do not lose progress when life becomes busy.
