Biography

I believe in promoting empowerment as nobody's journey is the same!
I have extensive experience in improving people's health through targeted nutrition and behaviour change programmes. My practical experience as a qualified nutritionist and wellness practitioner has given me the opportunity to work with individuals of diverse ages and ethnic backgrounds, I have also worked with many agencies from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
