About Me
I’ve been a natural and ancestral health and lifestyle nerd for as long as I can remember. The kind of kid who probably would’ve been very popular in 10,000 BC, but slightly confusing at modern dinner parties.
Then I became pregnant with our first daughter, and suddenly my relationship with health, food, motherhood, and basically the entire modern world went from “mild interest” to “full existential rebrand.” Nothing like growing a human to make you question absolutely everything you’ve ever eaten, bought, or breathed near.
What started as innocent curiosity quickly turned into a full-blown investigation into nutrition, ancestral health, gut health, nervous-system regulation, nature, and all the ways modern life quietly distances us from the things our bodies are actually designed to thrive on. At some point I stopped being a casual explorer and became…a bit of a detective. A very crunchy detective.
Over the years, I’ve found a lot of healing by slowly returning to these foundations myself. Learning to nourish my body properly, get outside like it’s my job, remember what sunlight is, move in ways that don’t involve scrolling, support my nervous system, and build a lifestyle that feels more like “human being” and less like “overstimulated indoor creature” has completely changed the way I experience life, health, and wellbeing.
I became a GAPS Coach, which basically meant I upgraded from “interested in gut health” to “let’s talk about microbes at social events whether people asked or not.” It deepened my understanding of the body’s incredible capacity to heal when we stop throwing obstacles in its way and start supporting the foundations underneath everything.
I also had the privilege of working at a nature-immersion unschooling school in New Zealand, where I witnessed children spending their days outside, learning through play, mud, weather, curiosity, and the occasional questionable stick-based ki experiment. It reinforced my belief that nature isn’t a wellness trend -/it’s our original operating system, and we run significantly better when we remember that.
Alongside this, I am also an unschooling mum of two teenage girls, which is equal parts profound, hilarious, humbling, and occasionally like negotiating with very articulate philosophers who also need snacks immediately. It continues to teach me about trust, autonomy, connection, and how to support young people without accidentally turning into a control-freak GPS system.
I’m also a trauma-informed psilocybin facilitator, trained in Oregon, which has expanded my understanding of healing, consciousness, and transformation in ways that are difficult to explain at casual gatherings without either sounding mystical or making people slowly back away. In short: the human mind is astonishing, and healing is far more intelligent than we are.
All of these experiences eventually led me to the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol (ARP), which felt less like “discovering something new” and more like “oh thank goodness, someone else remembers how humans are supposed to function.”
Today, I’m passionate about supporting others to reconnect with the foundations of human health—nourishment, nature, sunlight, movement, rest, connection, and nervous-system regulation - and to create the conditions for their own healing and regeneration (without needing to move into a forest and swear off WiFi…unless they want to, in which case I fully support it).
I don’t come to this work just from study. I come to it through lived experience. I know what it is to search for answers, try all the things, overthink everything, under-sleep, re-think everything again, and slowly find your way back to something that actually feels like you.
It’s also important to me to honour that much of this wisdom is not new—it is ancestral. In many ways, I’m not teaching anything revolutionary; I’m just helping us remember what humans used to do before we collectively agreed that sitting indoors under artificial lighting was a personality trait.
It’s this journey - messy, human, sometimes funny, always real - that makes this work so meaningful to me. And I feel incredibly grateful to now walk alongside others as they discover what becomes possible when we start working with the body instead of constantly trying to outsmart it.
