Vibrant Chicken Pesto Salad

This isn’t your average salad. Packed with flavour, colour, and crunch, this salad is a go-to when you want something nourishing and satisfying, without spending hours in the kitchen.

Tender chicken brings the protein punch, while the pesto delivers healthy fats that keep your brain firing and your hormones happy. Tossed with fresh greens, good-quality carbs and vibrant veggies, it’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, focused and fuelled for the rest of the day - no 3pm crash in sight.

Why it works:

✔️ Protein-rich to support lean muscle and stable energy
✔️ Healthy fats for hormone balance and satiety
✔️ Greens + fibre to keep digestion humming
✔️ Balanced to help avoid blood sugar dips and cravings

In a nutshell:

This salad isn’t just nourishing, it’s strategically balanced for women needing energy that lasts, better focus, and no 3pm slump. You’ve got protein, slow-release carbs, hormone-friendly fats, and fibre-rich veg all in one bowl.

Win Win!

My client came in to see me for the first time a few weeks ago. She was exhausted, felt dizzy when she woke up in the mornings, anxious and flat.

We talked about her health, her lifestyle and then had a look at her diet. She thought she was eating too much during the day, but it turned out she wasn't actually enough!

I gave her a plan of action to follow until I next saw her, including guidance on portion sizes, meal timing and what to include with her meals, with some recipe suggestions to get her on track.

She excitedly came in to see me this morning, and couldn't wait to share how good she was feeling - she had more energy than she could remember, no longer felt dizzy when she woke in the morning and was much less anxious. She was amazed she got these results from simple dietary adjustments!

Sometimes it's really easy to get caught up in the noise of advice on the internet and media, online groups, the latest supplements, shakes, the list goes on, all promising energy and amazing results, when sometimes, a lot of the time, it just takes someone to sit down with you, look at how and when you eat - simple, sustainable advice, to get you feeling better again.

Want to ask me some questions about your diet? Send me a DM or book a free call via my website.

Happy Monday!

It's my first day in clinic today for 2026 and I'm so excited to be back!

If your wanting to book an appointment to see me this week I do recommend you jump on to my website and do so quickly as I have limited availability, otherwise I will be back for regular consultations starting Monday 2nd February as I am navigating mum life and school holidays.

Now is a great time to be thinking about how to best prepare your daughter for first periods if you have a daughter from 8 years and upwards, and one of the most wonderful ways to do this is ensuring she has a little pack in her school bag (check out my school first period packs on my website), or attending my upcoming mother and daughter workshop which I co facilitate with the gorgeous .

Details can be found on my website, or send me a DM for more info.

Hello!

I am a degree qualified Clinical Nutritionist (Endeavour College of Natural Health) and trained Chef with over 20 years experience in the kitchen. I love food, and i love nutrition and what better way then to combine the two together!

I learnt the hard way several years ago what extreme stress can do to the body. After working hard as a chef for 15 years, I found myself to be burnt out, highly stressed and constantly exhausted - i didn't recognise myself in the mirror any more. I wasn't well, miserable and had lost direction in my life. After falling pregnant with my daughter i had the wake-up call or “sliding doors” moment I needed - this was not the way I wanted to live anymore.

I realised that my passion lay with natural health, and decided to focus solely on my degree.Today, i am a different person, and am so passionate about helping others be the best versions of themselves that they can, that they can be happy, healthy and stress free!

What i will do:
