“Healing is the foundation. But living is the expression.”
This isn’t my usual post, but this page is about authenticity and evolving with me. This is integral in my work. 🫶
My recent trip to Djerba - travelling solo with my son, wasn’t just a holiday. 🏝️ It was a mirror - reminding me how far I’ve come from the woman who once questioned if travel, joy, or even normality would ever return. 🥺
Because when you live with autoimmunity and a nervous system that’s exhausted and depleted , travel isn’t lighthearted.
You’re navigating:
– Food allergies
– Energy crashes
– Nervous system load
– Safety checks
– And the mental weight of “what if”
But here’s what I’ve learned :
💫 You can be healing and still choose to live.
💫 You can carry supplements and still order dessert.
💫You can do the inner work and laugh carefree, in the sun with your child.
As a functional nutritionist specialising in autoimmunity and gut- health, this isn’t just theory.
It’s lived. (Worn the t- shirt and then some)
It’s layered. ( the part I love to unpick the most )
And it’s the exact kind of healing I hold space for in my work.
This trip reminded me: 💫
The real work behind wellness isn’t just gut tests and protocols.
It’s the silent strength behind every decision you make with a dysregulated immune system.
It’s showing up for your life, imperfectly, joyfully, consciously.
If you’re in the thick of it…
Please know there’s a version of you still waiting to be met.
Not post-diagnosis.
Not when you’ve “fixed” everything.
But in the life you choose to live alongside your healing.
I’m here for that version of you.
And I’m proud of the one I’ve become.
