Meet The Founder
Hello!
Having a baby during the pandemic was a rupture and a rebirth. Postpartum cracked me open, reshaped my identity, and pushed me to understand nourishment not just as wellness, but as survival and healing. That experience led me to specialize in perinatal nutrition, completing my Masters II in Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum & Baby Nutrition at Oh Baby School of Nutrition. My earlier training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition laid the groundwork, but motherhood pushed me deeper — into the support women truly deserve during this transition.
After 16 years in the United States, my family and I returned to Australia, leaving behind a New York community that felt like family. It was grief and gratitude woven together, and it deepened my belief that women were never meant to do this alone.
HERE MAMA grew from that understanding.
I don’t see this pivot as leaving Citrine Kitchen behind — I see it as an expansion. My work now sits at the intersection of nourishment, creativity, and village-building. I believe in the kitchen as meditation and play, in food as comfort and catalyst, and in women lifting each other up through every stage of becoming.
When I imagined HERE MAMA, I pictured a chaos bubble — beautiful, wild, unpredictable, and constantly rebirthing. That’s exactly what this space is.
A place to nourish the becoming, celebrate the chaos, and make sure you’re fed — emotionally, creatively, and yes, literally.
Snacks included.
So happy you found me!

Motherhood changed everything.
My career didn’t begin in nutrition — it began in film distribution and marketing, storytelling in a different form. I worked across creative industries in New York, including time as a celebrity PA (a masterclass in logistics and chaos), before food pulled me in and never let go.
I’ve always started my mornings with an adaptogenic brew in hand — cacao, matcha, herbs, something warm and grounding — a daily reminder that food can be medicine and joy at the same time. I worked with One Lucky Duck in NYC, helped grow LuliTonix into national distribution as second-in-command, and eventually built Citrine Kitchen, my plant-forward paleo baking brand centered around retreats, events, and community. I collaborated with early NYC wellness spaces like Matchaful, worked alongside Village Coffee and Goods upstate, and helped bring women together through gatherings like Goddess Brunch — spaces where nutrient-dense food met deep conversation and lifelong friendships.
Along the way I discovered two constants: a deep love of food in all its forms (including a pile of sourdough and a glass of natural wine) and a passion for women-led start-ups and brand strategy. Creativity, nourishment, and community have always lived side by side in my work.
