Body Dysmorphia • Queer Trauma • Breathwork
Author 📖
🗣 Loud complainer of silent battles

I’m a London-based, award-winning nutritionist and mindset coach with over a decade of clinical experience, following a previous career in addiction counselling. My journey into nutrition began with personal struggles, including skin concerns and a long history of weight challenges dating back to childhood. With over a decade of experience, I’ve learnt that true health extends beyond what we eat—it’s about how we nurture every part of ourselves. I support people through a joined-up approach that brings together nutrition, mindset, and healing.

The strange thing about body dysmorphia is that it gets praised. It looks like discipline, high standards, self-improvement. It’s rarely examined beyond the mirror.

Underneath that hard exterior is often a nervous system that doesn’t know how to settle, and a control pattern shaped by trauma, rejection, and the need to feel enough.

I built this 8-week programme for 12 gay or bi men who recognise that pattern and want to work on what’s driving it, not just manage it more efficiently.

Comment “course” and I’ll send the details.

Im excited to bring you something I’ve been working on for a while: Letting Go of Perfect – The Course

An eight-week live online group for gay and bi men who are exhausted by the pressure to maintain an image.

This course develops the themes of my book, and looks at the patterns underneath body obsession and perfectionism, from nutrition and stress physiology to shame, comparison, and the culture we exist within.

The course also incorporates structured breathwork practices to support regulation and help move beyond overthinking into direct experience.

‼️It’s structured, contained, and limited to twelve places so the work can stay thoughtful.‼️‼️

We begin Sunday 26 April 2026 at 6:00pm.

Early-bird pricing is available until 31st March 2026.

Full details and enrolment via the link in bio.

If willpower worked, you’d be fixed by now.

Binge eating usually is more about instability than self-control.

If you address the system, behaviour changes. ✅
If you attack the behaviour, the cycle repeats. ❌

Solving it with regulation may be slower, less dramatic and less appealing but it works.

This is something I explore in more detail in my book, Letting Go of Perfect. 📖

My article for is live. It’s about something I didn’t think I’d be writing after working on my demons, facing traumas and quitting alcohol and ster01d-s.

I thought dating would get easier once I stopped numbing, chasing validation. In some ways it does, but in other ways it’s more confronting because you’re showing up without the old armour in a swiping left culture that still runs on it and treats connection like a silent audition.

It’s an honest piece on dating. Hope you see where I’m coming from and perhaps relate.
