About Me

I’ve been a natural and ancestral health and lifestyle nerd for as long as I can remember. But when I became pregnant with our first daughter, something shifted. It completely changed the way I saw health, food, motherhood and the environment we live in.

What began as innate curiosity became a deeply personal journey. Through my own health challenges, I began exploring nutrition, ancestral health, gut health, nervous-system regulation, nature and the many ways our modern world can disconnect us from the things our bodies need most.

Over the years, I’ve found so much healing through returning to these foundations myself. Learning to nourish my body, spend more time in nature, reconnect with sunlight and movement, support my nervous system and create a lifestyle that feels more aligned with our biology has profoundly changed the way I experience life, health and wellbeing.

I became a GAPS Coach, and my journey continued to take me deeper into understanding the body’s innate capacity to heal and the importance of looking beyond symptoms to the foundations underneath them.

I also had the privilege of working at a nature-immersion unschooling school in New Zealand, where I experienced first-hand the incredible power of spending our days outside, moving, exploring and being immersed in the natural world. It deepened my belief that nature isn’t simply something we enjoy - it is fundamental to who we are.

Alongside this, I am also an unschooling mum of two teenage girls, which continues to be one of my greatest teachers. Walking this path daily has deepened my understanding of trust, connection, autonomy, and what it truly means to support young people in staying connected to themselves while growing in a rapidly changing world.

I’m also a trained psilocybin facilitator, which has expanded my understanding of healing, consciousness, personal transformation and the profound potential that exists when we create the right conditions for change.

All of these experiences ultimately led me to the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol (ARP). It felt like a much deeper and nuanced coming together of so many of the things I had been learning.

Today, I’m passionate about supporting others to reconnect with the foundations of human health—nourishment, nature, sunlight, movement, rest, connection, nervous-system regulation, microbes and a more life approach, and to create the conditions for their own healing and regeneration.

I don’t come to this work simply from a place of study. I come to it through lived experience. I know what it is to search for answers, to experiment, to learn, to unravel what isn’t working and gradually find my way back to feeling more like myself.

It’s also important to me to honour that much of this wisdom is not new - it is ancestral. So much of what we now call “alternative” health is actually ancient, lived knowledge that was once simply how humans lived in relationship with nature, community and the body. Over time, much of this understanding was lost or disconnected from modern life, and I feel deeply called to help remember and re-share these foundations in a way that feels accessible and relevant today.

It’s this personal journey that makes this work so meaningful to me, and I feel incredibly grateful to now walk alongside others as they discover what is possible when we begin to work with the body in this beautifully profound way.
