MY STORY
I am a Professional, Evidence-Based, Naturopathic Hormone Nutritionist (dipCNM) who has an internal drive for helping and guiding women to health empowerment and a life free of struggles and symptoms.
My journey started many years ago when I moved from Sweden to London. There I discovered a whole new world of wholefoods and my interest in healthy cooking grew. I had always loved cooking for friends and family; caring and nurturing others comes as second nature to me, but then I started exploring the power of nutrition and was finding a deeper passion connected to health, food and mind.
After a few years of seeking different educational paths, I finally hit jackpot when I found the renowned College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) and I was able to embark on studying what I am passionate about.
In 2016, me, my Welsh husband and our beautiful little boy made the decision to leave the UK to follow our dream of living in a warmer climate. We have now settled in southwest of France in a beautiful place called Hossegor – a spot perfect for our lifestyle and for future yoga and nutrition retreats.
The Kind of Health is my baby and grown out of the thought that your kind of health is different to everyone else’s kind of health. We are genetically and emotionally different; what works for the person next to you or in the tabloids might not actually work for you. My goal is to find out exactly what is driving your struggles and imbalances, discover ways to achieve what you are after and educate you on how you can nourish your body and mind in the best possible way!
Even though, my knowledge of how to care for your body, mind and soul has always been a driving force in my life; it is not to say I have not had my own health detours along the way. When we go through something difficult in life, we do not always have the tools to know how to manage it. So, we bury it within and hope it goes away.
For several personal reasons, I experienced some tough times during my childhood; and while growing up, these definitely defined my choices. I ploughed through my teenage years and early 20s’ as many others do – working hard but playing harder. Ignorance became a way to deal with things and I momentarily lost the harmony between having fun and looking after my body.
On the outside everything seemed fine (that word we use when we’re usually not) – I had a great social life, amazing friends, a good job and I loved my life – but on the inside I just knew everything I wanted deep down was on the other side of how I choose to live my life. The stress, blocked pain, lack of self-care and not eating properly to support my body started showing up as polycystic ovaries, terrible digestion, irregular cycles, poor energy levels, increased weight and more. I was done ignoring it and finally made a change!
I started looking after my body instead of thrashing it and listening to my mind instead of blocking it. I refocused and started loving myself. I ate better. Moved my body more. And found a much better balance between fun and calmness in life. Am I done now? No way! I still have health goals I want to achieve, and things I want to work out. The journey to optimal health is not one that one day will be “done and dusted”. Life evolves and transforms, and us with it!
Now, I am in charge of my health, I know more about my body because I put the work in and I have achieved one massive milestone – to be able to conceive! I faced my wellness with responsibility and it payed off. The path to achieve something here in life is not always easy and it can be one hell of a rollercoaster; all you can do is face what shows up, take it step-by-step and know it will all be so worth it in the end!
My driving force is to help women to do the same – dig deep to understand what is not working, help them make the shift and find a better path in life where they can thrive and flourish.
COOKING
I have a great passion for cooking healthy food and baking tasty treats. To me, nourishing your body should fun and easy, and I believe that we all have a responsibility to make sustainable and environmental friendly choices when we do so.
I love showing clients how they can do the same; and have great solutions for busy women with busy lifestyles who are in great need of a helping hand.
LOVE & LAUGHTER
I believe life is here to relish and therefore I always try to fill life with its' full colours. I believe in the magic of laughter and the power of beautiful friends. To have special connections in life can simply make you stronger and shape the direction of your path.
To meet life with an open heart and a curious mind, and to never stop having fun is definitely my motto!
NATURE
I love being outdoors and in the nature; spending time on the beach, in the woods or just in open space makes my heart sing. I love moving my body and when I go for my long runs with a good podcast in my ears, my inspiration flows freely and my dreams run wild.
Growing my own vegetables and getting soil under my fingernails gives me joy and fulfilment. One day I would love to have chickens and maybe even a goat!
