Hello
My name is Katherine and I'm a functional Nutritionist and Food scientist. In the last decade of my career I have realised that there is a huge gap in the market for appropriate health advice that gets to the root cause of the problem. Advice that goes beyond quick fixes, supplements, feel good hooks and constant reliance on others for long term success. Most people find themselves in cycles back where they once were or not 100% feeling right in areas such as hormones, mental health and gut health... and there is a reason for this. Health is body, mind and spirit. Everything is interconnected and requires guidance for you to link it together to heal. It is my life mission and purpose, to deliver the gift of empowered health knowledge to others, to set them free. This is what sets me apart. Lets Get Healthy. The proper way.
My Story
I didn't understand what was happening to me and I remember feeling so alone. At 19, I felt like something was not right with how I was feeling. At first I noticed acne all over my cheeks and back, eczema that would flare up on my hands and my hair thinning. Then my digestion was always painful and abnormal, with food intolerances newly popping up. Then there was irregular and painful periods and migraines. Then there was debilitating anxiety followed by depression and brain fog. Then there were sore kidneys. My weight was not normal. Doctors prescribed me antibiotics, the pill and ran tests on me to determine that I was perfectly healthy and that I was suffering from IBS, gluten intolerance, PCOS and one kidney that had reduced function. And the rest was "all in my head". No big deal, carry on with life was the advice. I I did not feel okay and felt that was no way to live.
Little did I know the healing journey that was heading my way. When you're desperate though, all you do is look for answers. Iv come to learn just how common these complains are, and how little resources there are available to many. I met by chance a holistic Nutritionist who changed my life. She armed me with the knowledge, skills and understanding that I then took with me on my journey. Over years of work I flipped my story and healed completely. Not only that but I started to glow, to feel alive, calm and healthy, I still do. Don't get me wrong it wasn't always pretty and at times I nearly gave up and it felt impossible. But it sparked a flame in me, to use my experience as fuel and be that person the Nutritionist once was for me for someone else. Now I help other people flip their story.
