About me: I am an ICF ACC Certified Holistic Health & Personal Development Coach and Public Health Nutrition Specialist based in Geneva, Switzerland. My work brings together nutrition science and whole-person coaching, because real wellbeing cannot be addressed in isolation. What you eat affects how you feel. How you feel affects how you think. How you think shapes what you do and what you allow yourself. My Background: I spent 15 years in global health organisations, leading complex grant management and funding processes. That career gave me deep expertise in behaviour change and what it actually takes to make things shift. It also gave me a firsthand experience of what chronic overload and giving everything to an institution can do to a person. My own burnout, navigating impossible workloads with two small children at home, became the foundation of everything I now do. Not because I lead with my story, but because it means I understand from the inside what my clients are carrying. The exhaustion. The guilt. The quiet, persistent question: is this all life is offering right now? I hold an MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition from University College London, a BSc in Medical Sciences from the University of Edinburgh, an Integral Coaching Certification from the Centre for Coaching Switzerland, and Health Coach & hormone training from IIN. My ICF ACC credential reflects internationally recognised standards of coaching competency and ethics. My Approach: My work is built around four integrated pillars: Nutrition: Evidence-based, clinical nutrition tailored to your physiology and your real life. Not restriction, not another meal plan to feel guilty about, but understanding how to nourish yourself in a way that supports your energy, your hormones, your stress response, and your mental clarity. Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for managing stress and building resilience, and it is consistently underused. Hormone Health: Specialist understanding of how hormones shape energy, mood, appetite, motivation, and identity, particularly for women across the menstrual cycle, through perimenopause, and beyond. Many of the things my clients have been told are personality traits or discipline problems are actually hormonal patterns that can be understood, supported, and worked with. Nervous System Regulation: Addressing the physiological roots of burnout, chronic stress, and exhaustion. Understanding what is happening in your body when you cannot switch off, when you react in ways that surprise you, or when you are tired but wired, and working with you to build practical tools to regulate and restore. Beliefs and Self-Trust: The inner work. The patterns, inherited stories, and inner critic that quietly shape what you allow yourself, how hard you are on yourself, and whether you trust your own instincts. This is not mindset work in the traditional sense, it is deeper, more honest, and more lasting. These four pillars are not separate programmes, but rather integrated. However, each client will bring their own unique needs and therefore my sessions will be adequate adapted to what is brought to our coaching session. Who I Work With: I work with professionals, parents, working mothers, people in transition, who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in rinse-and-repeat, and who have reached the point of asking themselves whether this is really all life has to offer. My clients want to feel more like themselves. They want to make choices that feel right for them. They want to show up, at work, at home, and for themselves, as the person they actually want to be. I also work with organisations looking to build genuine wellbeing cultures, not performative wellness initiatives, that helps teams build resilience, manage stress, and sustain performance. I offer webinars, lunch and learns, half-day workshops, group coaching programmes, and ongoing retainer partnerships.
