I grew up in Poland and remember suffering from a lot of colds, chest and ear infections as a child. On many occasions I received antibiotics including injections. Later as a teenager, I had terrible acne and again was given antibiotics. If I could turn back time and knew back then what I know now, I’m sure I could have healed myself pretty quickly with nutrition and the elimination of foods that I now know I was intolerant to.

​

Interested in nutrition from my early twenties, I experimented with different diets and started cooking and growing my own vegetables. It was fortunate that I enjoyed vegetables and fermented Polish foods such as sauerkraut and gherkins, as unknowingly, I was able to help heal my gut. Unfortunately, my digestive issues reappeared when I moved to the UK in 2007, with bloating and weight gain troubling me the most. Brain fog and severe knee pain began a few years after that. It was then that I began researching and reading all about nutrition and experimented with changing my diet. I eliminated sugar and gluten and was surprised to notice that the extra weight around the middle melted off, my knee pain disappeared and my brain was sharp again. My energy levels increased too! I couldn’t stop reading, but I found the available information very contradictory and confusing. I needed more! Knowing I needed reliable information and that I wanted to help other people, after much consideration, while working full time as an Intensive Care nurse, I enrolled on the 3-year Nutritional Therapy course at The College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in London, and it changed my life!

Now, I combine over 20 years experience as an Intensive Care nurse with nutrition and lifestyle medicine to help my clients regain their health. I have a particular interest in thyroid conditions, after my partner was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I  witnessed first hand how effective nutrition and lifestyle changes can be to help improve symptoms, improve lab markers and to reduce antibodies that this completely changed the trajectory of my Nutritional Therapy career. My focus now is working with clients who have Hashimoto's disease, Graves disease, hyper and hypothyroidism, by using food, supplements (when needed) and lifestyle changes to improve their overall health.
