ABOUT ME

Choosing Yourself started with choosing myself.

For most of my life, I thought of health as separate problems that needed separate solutions.

I’d struggled with acne for as long as I could remember, but around 2023 things began to change in a way I couldn’t ignore.

I became painfully bloated. I was exhausted all the time. I went from being the nap queen to struggling with insomnia. My hair started falling out. My face and body changed. I lost muscle, my energy disappeared, and alongside all of that came one of the hardest parts of my journey — struggling with my fertility.

I knew I wasn’t myself. But I didn’t understand why.

So I did what so many of us do. I tried to fix everything separately — my skin, my digestion, my sleep, my hormones, my energy, my hair loss.

The more I searched for answers, the more I began to realise these things might not be separate at all.

That changed everything.

Functional health introduced me to a completely different way of looking at the body. Instead of only asking “How do I get rid of this symptom?”, I started asking:

What might be contributing to it?

I began understanding the connections between our gut, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition, environment and nervous system — and eventually trained as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.

But Choosing Yourself grew from more than my qualification.

It grew from everything I wished I’d had when I was struggling: somewhere to feel heard, somewhere to ask deeper questions, and someone willing to look at the whole picture.

Because getting better, for me, wasn’t only about lab results, supplements or finding the “perfect” protocol.

It was also about how I was living. My relationships. My boundaries. My stress. The way I spoke to myself.

Learning to understand my body also taught me how to start choosing myself again.

And that’s exactly why I created Choosing Yourself.
