some of your questions answered…
Where did you study nutrition?
I studied at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies, completing an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine in 2010. Prior to that I completed a Bachelor of Health Science at Australian Catholic University. Forever wanting to learn, in between the birth of my second little B, Baxter, I continued my study with Cadence Health, completing an on-line Certificate in Paediatric Nutrition.
What is my area of speciality?
Especially after having children, I focus my energy and passion on child and family health. Raising a happy healthy family, I can do with my eyes closed and I love it!
Many people ask me if I can help mums/ women with weight loss…
Yes, I can most certainly aim to help best I can here. Like I said, general well-being for families is where my passion lies, getting them on track!
Where do I love to food shop?
I spend a lot of time at About Life and my local farmer’s markets. These places always stock the things I love. They often have specials to fit into everyone’s budget!
What other alternative therapies do I love?
I love acupuncture, kinesiology, meditation & yoga. I think it is important to try what you think works best for you and your family. We have a great chiropractor that we all go to which works really well with our family’s health.
What would you find in a nutritionist’s handbag?
- I always carry a healthy snack mix such as nuts, goji or inca berries & cacao nibs
- Burts Bee’s mango lip butter
- Flora Remedia ‘Let It Go’ roll on natural perfume
- Bach Flowers ‘Rescue Remedy’ drops – you never know when the time strikes!
- I love to rotate & try some natural hand creams; at the moment I am loving Pacifica’s ‘Tahitian Gardenia’ hydrating hand cream, the best! (I found this in Hawaii a few years ago & continue to buy it each year we go there; the smell reminds me of there!) But you can get it on-line & in some health food shops
- Butter London ‘Horse Power’ nail polish – the best natural nail strengthener
- A good natural hand sanitizer
- My Cheeki stainless bottle – to fill up with water for the day if I am on the go
