From Exhausted to Energised — and How I Can Help You Do the Same

There's nothing like a health scare to spur you into action and make you seek out ways to reclaim your health. That's exactly what happened to me which caused me to choose a more healthy lifestyle and now I've never felt better. I spent previous years feeling tired, inflamed, and older than my age. Then I discovered that ageing and good health is far more negotiable than we're told — and I have made it my mission to share that truth.

I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2009 following a prolonged period of stress and giving birth to my son; with all the toll that that takes on a woman's body. For the previous two years before my diagnosis, I knew I was burning the candle at both ends; juggling working full time with being a mother to my 3 year old daughter and baby son, who would not sleep for longer than an hour at a time throughout the night. I felt exhausted every day which meant my diet was all about ready meals and takeaways and very little colour.

Because I knew that I was running on empty, my thoughts also around that time were extremely negative about the future. Looking back, I probably was also suffering post-natal depression, which added yet another layer to my already depleted and nutritionally deficient body.

The motivational speaker Anthony Robbins says that change occurs in a person's life through either inspiration or desperation. In my life, change has always come about through desperation and the diagnosis of melanoma in 2009 saw me in a very desperate place, but it certainly woke me the hell up!

I changed my job which instantly gave me more time with my children, as well as more money. I also started studying how positive mindset affects our lives, reading many books about epigenetics which is the study of how thoughts, diet, sleep and stress impact our physical health. I changed my diet from ready meals to cooking from scratch and choosing organic produce where cost would allow and changed my life from not wanting to get out of bed every morning to becoming a really happy, positive person who suffered less illness than I had suffered in my younger years.

I saw such a change in both my mindset and physical health that I wanted to learn how I could help others do the same. I started my Nutritional Therapy Diploma in 2014 and qualified in 2017 and set up my own practice in South Devon to help others struggling with chronic health conditions that were not being helped with medication.

Sadly, I had to pause my practice prematurely to nurse my husband who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. I used my Nutritional Therapy and mindset skills to keep my husband as fit and as hopeful as possible for as long as possible in this awful disease. Through researching for his condition, I learned a massive amount about how ageing and chronic conditions are largely driven by inflammation in the body and that heavy metals and parasites, as well as a poor diet and stress, can be driving that inflammation in some cases.

I now specialise in over 50s health. I use tests to see what a new client is dealing with and then put strategies in place to best reduce inflammatory processes that include diet, mindset and detoxification.
