I started having severe bloating as a teen, after a gut infection in Asia. My gut issues quickly became debilitating, followed by extreme fatigue, hormonal imbalances and poor sleep when I moved to uni (ironically to medical school!). I saw one doctor after the other, only to become worse and worse. I was put on all sort of medications. I was often dismissed as "you are great, it's all in your head"!
What made me feel more like myself for the first time was working 1-2-1 with a Nutritional Therapist. Getting in Nutritional Therapy school and later Functional Medicine, was a no-brainer.
Now I can enjoy my life to the fullest. I am able to dream, without limitations, again. I am on a mission to make sure you don’t go through the same challenges that I went through. I've been trained to listen, look for the root cause(s), see the body as whole & educate because these are the skills I wish I had come across with when going through my own challenges!
I am a qualified Naturopath, Nutritional Therapist & Functional Medicine Practitioner, with a background in Science and Research. My aim is to find the underlying cause behind any chronic condition and restore health naturally. I believe in optimal health rather than the mere absence of disease. I am a great advocate of personalised medicine. I specialise in women's health, gastrointestinal health, autoimmunity, stress, sleep and weight management. I currently see clients online.
