Meet Holly
Having restored my own health and missing period with the right nutrition and lifestyle shifts, I’m incredibly passionate about helping women feel safe enough to nourish their body in the right way so that they can regain their health and their cycle.
I’m a registered nutritionist, nutritional therapist and specialist in amenorrhea (missing periods), hormones and musculoskeletal health.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based nutrition and a true love of the science behind how your body actually works. I use personalised nutrition, comprehensive lab testing and lifestyle coaching to work with your unique biochemistry and circumstances to help restore your health and periods.
Losing your energy and track of your periods can be emotionally draining and isolating, which is why I’m so passionate about supporting other women with their hormones, stress and other mental health struggles. I really know what it feels like to feel shattered, burnt out – as if you’ve lost your way. But I was not alone and nor are you.
Wherever you are on your journey, food doesn’t need to be an inconvenience or a source of anxiety.
Food is not calories or simply a number. It is vital information. Knowing what nutrients and foods support your life and work demands, lifestyle, physiology and hormones can help you make informed and intuitive choices which your body will LOVE and respond to with more energy, mood-balancing, performance-enhancing and brain power than you thought possible.
Understanding when and how to eat is just as important. It will help to reassure your adrenals, metabolism and menstrual cycle, helping to switch your body back into safe mode.
I put these ingredients together with some essentially supporting tools to reassure, nurture and restore your body systems and overcooked hormones back to brilliance giving you all the energy and vitality you need for life.
If you struggle to meet the physical and mental demands of your work, relationships and fitness. If you are emotionally, hormonally and energetically burnt out – then I can help you.
And don’t worry, I’m here to support you in the right way forward for YOU, so that you can become the best version of yourself. Even if you feel like you’re out of time and energy, I can help you step off the track, focus on your unique circumstances and get the tailored support that you need. All in a safe space, where I promise to respect whatever stage you're at.
If you’d like to find out more, I’d love to hear from you.
