My Philosophy
‘Mindful Eating Today, Platterful Tomorrow’
Bringing mindfulness into our dietary choices and preferences today help us use food to nourish us, heal us from within, and manage our symptoms or ‘dis-ease state better’, for a life well lived starting today.
As a Therapeutic Nutritionist
“I work with you as your dietary manager”.
We enter into a healing relationship where we use ‘food as medicine’. I work with you 1-1 to curate a lifestyle plan based on your unique condition, taking into consideration the everyday life challenges and environmental factors.
I will also work closely with you to better the other four fundamental pillars of functional medicine

This is fundamental for maximizing the healing potential in medicinal food and herbs.
