Nutrition Consultant. Storyteller. Chaos enthusiast.

This isn't a pivot away from pleasure. It's a full integration of it — the adaptogen and the sourdough, the supplement stack and the glass of natural wine.

THE RUPTURE

Motherhood during a pandemic.
A whole thing.

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 sent me back to school — for yet another pivot. I completed my Masters II in Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum & Baby Nutrition at Oh Baby School of Nutrition, building on earlier training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Motherhood pushed me further into the support women actually deserve during this transition. Not the glossy version. The real one, with snacks and honesty and someone who won't tell you to just sleep when the baby sleeps.

COMING HOME

Sixteen years in New York.
Then we came home.

Becoming a mother changes the gravitational pull of everything. After 16 years building a life in the United States, we made the decision to come home to Australia — drawn back by family, by the desire to raise our son close to his roots, and by that particular ache that parenthood awakens for the people who knew you first.

But leaving was the hardest decision of my life, thus far. The community I had in New York wasn't something I stumbled into — it shaped me, held me, grew me. A soul family built over 16 years of shared tables, late nights, big dreams, and all the ordinary moments in between. Leaving that behind was the kind of pivot that shakes up your whole world. Grief and gratitude, completely inseparable.

It deepened everything I believe about how much we need each other — and how rarely we're told it's okay to say so. I came home wanting to rebuild that feeling, and to help other women do the same.

*Full disclosure: I also deeply believe in sourdough and natural wine. The wellness paradox is alive and well in my kitchen.

NEW YORK

I worked in film, then celebrity PA, then my first pivot: super green smoothies

My career began in creative industries — film distribution, marketing, storytelling in a slightly more chaotic form. A stint as a celebrity PA taught me everything I needed to know about staying calm when things are on fire (often literally: a lot of candles in those circles).

Then food found me. I started working with One Lucky Duck in NYC, then helped grow LuliTonixinto national distribution as second-in-command — the kind of super green smoothies that keep your blood sugar happy and your 3pm crash firmly theoretical. I built Citrine Kitchen, my plant-forward paleo baking brand, around retreats, events, and bringing people together over really, really good food.

I collaborated with early NYC wellness pioneers like Matchaful, worked alongside the wonderful Village Coffee & Goods upstate, and helped create gatherings like Goddess Brunch — where nutrient-dense food met real conversation and the kind of friendships that stick.

THE CALLING

Cacao at 7am.
Sourdough at noon.
Both are medicine.

I've always started my mornings with something warm and grounding — cacao, matcha, herbs, whatever the season calls for. A daily reminder that food can be medicine and joy at the same time. These are not mutually exclusive. I have receipts.
