I used to run three companies at once and feel like I was falling apart in all of them.

From the outside it looked like it was working — building and selling businesses, trying to be the great mom, always feeling guilty, making time for friends, caring for my ageing parents. From the inside I felt like garbage most days. Tired in a way sleep didn't fix. Inflamed. In pain. Foggy in meetings I needed to be sharp in. I kept doing what high-achieving women are trained to do: push through it, blame the schedule, promise myself I'd deal with it after this next thing.

I did eventually ask for help, and more than once I was dismissed. Told my labs were normal. Told to manage my stress. Told, without much curiosity, that this was just what being a busy working mother felt like. I don't say this to villainise anyone in particular — I say it because if you've felt that same brush-off, I want you to know I've sat in that same chair, and it isn't in your head.

Nutrition was where I started actually taking control back. Not a diet — an investigation. Testing instead of guessing, tracking what my body was actually telling me instead of what a generic meal plan assumed about every woman my age. It worked. My inflammation came down. My labs improved. I stopped feeling like I was fighting my own body every day.

Here's the honest part: nutrition alone got me maybe seventy percent of the way there. I still felt disconnected from my own strength. Still stiff, still tense, still living in my head instead of my body. It wasn't until I put movement — real, intentional, reformer-based movement — next to the nutrition work that the actual shift happened.

That's the whole premise of what I do now. Not another nutrition plan. Not another workout. The combination — because that's genuinely what moved the lever for me, and it's what I've watched move it for the women I work with.

Not addition. Multiplication. The two together did something neither one did alone.

Qualifications

I'm an IPHM-accredited nutrition coach (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine), FDN-trained, and I hold the Balance Advanced Reformer Pilates certification. I've also completed Stanford University's Child Nutrition and Cooking course.

I'm based in Mainz and I work in English and German.

I am not a doctor, a dietitian, or a state-recognised Ernährungsberaterin. I interpret and guide using functional nutrition training. I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions, and where something falls outside my scope I'll say so and point you to the right professional.

I'm South African. Before this work I spent fifteen years building companies — sports marketing, an exotic handbag company, a telecoms business, all built and sold — and I hold a postgraduate qualification. I served as cultural attaché for South Africa in the UK, advised at national level in government and business circles, and I serve on the board of various charities and institutions that promote diversity and inclusion.

We moved our family to Germany in 2021, and I built this practice in Mainz.

But mostly I bring the fact that I've actually lived the before-and-after, not just studied it.
