Precise approach and time to actually listen

I consult at my clinic in Bouc-Bel-Air and online, in English, French and Portuguese

Every food story is different.

I take the time to understand yours, and to work towards a balance that suits you, with precision and care.

My background

An international view of nutrition

I work with women and men of all ages dealing with hormonal, digestive or metabolic issues, with an approach that is scientifically precise and human in the way it is delivered.

Before working with nutrition, I spent fifteen years in international roles in management and change. That work taught me to analyse carefully and to listen properly. Both go into how I work with you now.

Living in France, Brazil, the United States and the United Arab Emirates is what confirmed my interest in food and its links with health. Each culture taught me a different way of eating and of looking after yourself.

I consult in English, French and Brazilian Portuguese, with local and international patients, at the clinic in Bouc-Bel-Air or online.

When can I help?

        Difficult digestion. Weight that shifts. Fatigue that never quite lifts. A thyroid going off script, or a stage of women's health like endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause or pregnancy.

         Medical appointments tend to take these one at a time, and the link with food rarely gets explored properly. It is there, though, and it can shift inflammation, energy, digestion, blood sugar and how you feel through hormonal changes.

    My job is to work out which of these will make the biggest difference for you, turn that into something you can actually do, and liaise with your other health professionals where that helps.

How it works

My philosophy

Listening to your body, feeding it without guilt or deprivation

What happens around the plate matters as much to me as what is on it: your emotions, your circumstances, the story you have with food.

You are the one making the choices. My job is to give you clear, practical guidance so you can make them with confidence, anywhere in the world.
