About Me

From Chronic Illness to Ultramarathon — A Journey of Reconnection

​

My healing journey began when I was just 12. A ruptured appendix left me bedridden for months, & I never quite bounced back. I was eventually diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), & not long after, Rheumatoid Arthritis — a debilitating autoimmune condition that left my joints swollen, my energy drained, & my spirit crushed.

​

By 16, I was in constant pain & taking a cocktail of medications that brought more side effects than relief. Doctors told me I’d likely be in a wheelchair by the time I was 30. I was young, scared & exhausted — but something inside me knew there had to be another way.

​

In my early 20s, I started exploring alternative approaches. I cut out different food groups & experimented with different ways of eating & moving — but most importantly, I began listening to my body.

​

That’s when I found yoga. Not the fast-paced, push-through kind — but a slower, more conscious practice that helped me soften, breathe & reconnect. It taught me to move with my body, not against it.

At the same time, I dove deep into nutrition. I studied for three years at CNM London to become a Nutritional Therapist, followed by an additional year to qualify as a Naturopath. I later specialised in Sports Nutrition through the Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition — bringing my passion for performance & recovery into my work, particularly with women & equestrian athletes.

Healing wasn’t linear — but piece by piece, I rebuilt my health. At 30, instead of the wheelchair I was once warned about, I ran an ultramarathon to celebrate the strength I’d reclaimed.

Today, I support others walking their own complex paths. Whether you’re facing chronic illness, navigating burnout, or striving for better performance, I’m here to help you feel at home in your body again — with a grounded, holistic approach that blends lived experience with evidence-based care.
