Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Emotional Freedom Techniques & Picture Tapping Practitioner.

As a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant and Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, I help clients as unique individuals in their journey toward healthy habits in understanding emotions from a holistic perspective by looking at the whole person - spirit, soul and body providing knowledge and support in emotional eating, cravings, stress management, and direction on incorporating self-help to

ols for everyday use. I adapt both modalities to provide clients with a custom-made approach in working on their specific issues. EFT is useful for any issue that may have an emotional or energetic root cause or contributor, false beliefs formed from childhood, physical pain, the dis-ease of any kind, relationship issues, addictions or fears. I love to learn and expand my knowledge, spend time with family and in nature - enjoying the sights, smells and beauty all around me. I feel grateful and consider it a privilege to serve others with openness, honesty, integrity and create a safe environment for clients to share and experience EFT benefits.

👉 Food cravings are rarely just about food!

That pull toward sugar, salty snacks, or comfort foods often runs deeper than hunger. It can be the body’s response to stress, overwhelm, emotional pain, unresolved experiences, fatigue, or the need for comfort and regulation.

So often, we blame ourselves: “Why can’t I just have more willpower?” When we address the emotion beneath the craving, everything begins to shift.

👉 Cravings are communicating. Your body and nervous system are signalling that something beneath the surface needs attention, compassion, and support.

👉 This is where Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT ) and Picture Tapping Technique (PTT)are powerful tools for change.

👉 By gently working with the emotional roots of cravings, these evidence-based approaches can help reduce the intensity of urges, calm the stress response, and create space for conscious choice instead of automatic reaction.

💚 Healing food cravings is about listening more deeply to what your body is trying to say.

“The beginning of all wisdom is wonder.” - Aristotle

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to trade wonder for certainty, curiosity for control, and presence for productivity.

Yet wisdom doesn’t begin in knowing. It begins by allowing ourselves to be curious, open, and gently amazed by life again.

When we return to that childlike state, where everything is new, everything is felt, everything is possible, we soften the mind, open the heart, and reconnect to something deeper within us.

What if today, you let yourself pause, notice something simple, and feel the quiet magic of it?

Thich Nhat Hanh Quote Reminder😁

Joy isn’t something we stumble upon only when life is good. It’s something we tend to, like a garden.

In my opinion and experience, there is a deeper meaning. Joy lives in the small, intentional moments. But if we’re constantly in survival mode, rushing, worrying, or disconnected from ourselves, we miss it.

Cultivating joy is a practice.
👉 choosing presence over distraction
👉 softening the nervous system
👉 becoming aware of what feels nourishing versus draining
👉 gently redirecting the mind when it spirals

When we practice coming home to ourselves again and again, we begin to recognize joy, allow it, and then eventually live from it.

Tools like EFT, PTT and mindful awareness become so powerful. They help clear the internal noise so joy has space to rise. Joy isn’t absent; it’s often just buried.

Today, I honour the essence of Easter. ✨🌅

For some, it is a sacred celebration of resurrection, faith, and new life.

For others, it is a quiet moment of reflection, renewal, and inner awakening.

Wherever you find yourself on your journey, may this season gently remind you that something within you is always ready to rise, soften, and begin again.

There is no one path, only your path. Sending peace, love, and renewal to you today.

The Sugar Addiction Cycle

Craving sugar again, even after you just ate? 👉 That’s not failure. 👉 That’s physiology.

Your body may be stuck in a loop—spike, crash, crave, repeat. And until you understand the cycle, it will keep running.

Let’s bring awareness to the effects on the body.
1. Ingest Sugar Products: Over time, this overstimulates your reward system, making natural foods feel less satisfying.

2. Blood Sugar Spikes: Repeated spikes strain the pancreas and can lead to insulin resistance over time.

3. Blood Sugar Falls Rapidly: This rollercoaster stresses your nervous system, leaving you fatigued, foggy, and irritable.

4. Cravings and Hunger: Keeps you stuck in the loop, impacting metabolism, mood, hormones, and long-term health.

Gentle Reminder: This isn’t about willpower. It’s about understanding the cycle your body is caught in, and the beautiful part? With awareness and support like Emotional Freedom and Picture Tapping Techniques you can begin to gently break the loop.

Sometimes, it’s not just what we eat but how we prepare it.

When you cook foods like pasta, rice, or potatoes, and then allow them to cool or refrigerate overnight something beautiful happens. The starch transforms into what’s called resistant starch.

Resistant starch doesn’t digest the same way. Instead, it acts more like a soluble fibre, feeding your beneficial gut bacteria and supporting your digestive system on a deeper level.

So those same foods can nourish your body in a completely different way simply by giving them time to cool.

Garlic Prep Benefits 🧄
Garlic not only enhances food by adding a rich, savoury depth of flavour, but also infuses your meals with its natural healing and nourishing properties.

Garlic is a powerful healing food, and when it’s chopped or crushed, it releases allicin. But if you cook it right away, you’re actually destroying one of its most powerful healing compounds, and you lose much of this benefit.

🧄 Allicin — antimicrobial and gut-supporting properties.

🧄 Let garlic sit for 10 minutes before cooking for a small, mindful step with a big impact on your health.
