It’s not actually about food.
What we eat—and how we eat—is inseparable from how we feel, think, and relate. Nutrition is not just a biochemical input but a relational act that affects our nervous system, shapes our emotional landscape, and reflects deeper patterns of care, deprivation, and regulation.
In this work, we explore how ingestion behaviours—what you crave, when you eat, how you chew, or if you forget to eat—are signals from your nervous system, often rooted in stress responses, trauma adaptations, and dysregulated rhythms. Many people live in a chronic state of sympathetic overdrive (fight, flight, or freeze), where digestion and nutrient absorption are compromised.
That’s why restoring parasympathetic function—known as the “rest and digest” state—is foundational. Supporting vagal tone through breath, pacing, and mindful eating helps shift the body toward safety, where true nourishment becomes possible.
It’s also not just about mood.
From a psychonutritional lens, certain nutrients—like B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3s, and amino acids—play a crucial role in supporting mood stability, cognitive function, and emotional resilience.
While I am not a medical doctor, I offer education and guidance around how nutritional patterns and deficiencies may be contributing to symptoms like anxiety, depression, brainfog, etc. Together, we co-create gentle, individualized changes that support the body’s neurochemical balance through whole-food nourishment, lifestyle rhythms, and nervous system awareness.
This work is not about perfection or restriction. It’s about reconnecting to your body’s cues, restoring trust in your metabolic rhythm, and shifting from food as control or comfort to food as a source of regulation, vitality, and relational healing. Whether we’re addressing fatigue, mood swings, or disordered eating patterns, our work together honours food as a portal—not just to wellness or so-called “optimisation” but to a deeper sense of belonging in your own body.
