My Personal Story
My journey into the world of holistic wellness began with a simple realization: that true health is found in the quiet moments of connection between mind and body. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to studying the intricate rhythms of the human experience, exploring how movement, breath, and stillness can transform our daily lives.
Originally from South Africa, I have been working in the health and wellness industry since 1998. My journey has taken me from London to Dubai and now to Switzerland, where I support families from many different cultures and backgrounds. Having lived and worked internationally myself, I understand how it can feel to navigate healthcare, pregnancy, and early parenthood in a new country, especially far from your usual support network.
I began my career managing multisport facilities and medical spas before feeling called to work more directly with people. I trained in the Brandon Raynor Massage Technique and developed a deep love for aromatherapy, which sparked my continued studies in nutrition and herbalism. I later qualified as a Nutritionist, with a special focus on digestive and functional health. This led me to train in London and New York as a Colon Hydrotherapist, and I worked in private hospitals, gastroenterology clinics, and integrated medical centres. Before moving to Switzerland, I was licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) as a Naturopathy Practitioner under Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).
For more than a decade, I focused exclusively on digestive wellness and functional nutrition. I have extensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system and understand how closely emotional wellbeing and gut health are connected, often referred to as the “second brain.”
My approach is always gentle, respectful, and educational. I believe in empowering people with knowledge about their bodies while offering practical, realistic guidance. I am passionate about helping clients build a balanced relationship with food and believe that simple, nourishing meals are the foundation of long-term health.
Motherhood profoundly shaped the next chapter of my work. The birth of my two daughters and the invaluable support I received from a Doula changed my life. Experiencing continuous, informed support during pregnancy and birth showed me how transformative it can be. This inspired me to train as a Doula in the UK with both the Birth Bliss Doula Academy in London and Conscious Birthing at the Avalon Birth House in Glastonbury.
I understand that giving birth away from your home country, particularly as an expat, can sometimes feel overwhelming. My role is to provide calm, steady, non-judgemental support so that you feel informed, confident, and truly heard throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.
To further support families beyond birth, I completed a Sleep Consultant Certification through the Institute of Paediatric Sleep and Parenting in the United States. I firmly believe that womb beginnings, nourishment, and sleep are deeply interconnected, and that early support lays a strong foundation for both parents and children.
My approach is established in the belief that every individual possesses an innate capacity for healing and growth. I am passionate about empowering others to take an active role in their well-being. By integrating traditional wisdom with contemporary practices, I guide my clients toward a state of balanced vitality and deep inner peace.
I offer holistic support in English that weaves together digestive health, nourishment, birth preparation, postpartum care and; infant and child sleep guidance. My work is rooted in respect for the body’s natural wisdom, evidence-informed practice, and compassionate care. My intention is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel supported, empowered, and at home, wherever you come from.
With love,
