Our Story...

Sports and health has always been a passion of mine. This lead to me completing a Batchelors of Health Science in Psychology and then I completed a PGDip in Human Nutrition. While studying I started working with people and realised that my soul goal in life is to improve people’s health and wellness. I soon started working with big community groups educating people about healthy eating and was running my own clinic. Sports was always a passion and before I knew it I was working with over 15 different sports code, writing nutrition resources, educating coaches at all levels and dig nutrition presentations to athletes and coaches from grassroots level to elites.

As my family expanded, I cut my work back to only doing contracting work for sports organisations and coaches. This was a great way to keep my finger in the pie and keep my passion alight.

Then nearly six years ago our lives changes substantially when our fourth daughter was born, severely allergic to pretty much everything. She was so sensitive to her allergens that if she touched a surface that had trace amounts on it she would break out in hives. Nearly six years on, and boy our lives have changed since, a lot of learning happened along the way. I did a lot of research into how to help my daughter’s immune system correct itself through nutrition, gut health and skin repair. My daughter is a new kid, clear skin and only two allergies left. She can touch surfaces and not get hives or eczema!

This whole experience opened my eyes to how we as consumers are misled into buying products that we are told are “good for us”, “natural” or “made with natural ingredients.” I don’t even want to think about how many products I bought thinking that it was going to be good for my child - none of them really where. Saying that something is made with natural ingredients can just mean that they use a natural ingredient, along with a bunch of other ingredients that I still can’t pronounce.
