NUTRITION, MINDSET & HEALING

 

Nutrition

I’m a certified functional medicine nutritionist with over a decade of clinical experience. My approach is evidence-informed, practical, and inclusive, using strategies that work in real life and tailored to individual needs — whether addressing gut health, fatigue, longevity, or navigating nutrition through an LGBTQ+ lens.

I focus on nourishment, clarity, and what supports long-term health rather than restriction.

Mindset

We don’t just wake up with the beliefs we carry — we absorb them through family, culture, trauma, sexuality, and constant comparison. I’ve seen such patterns in my life and in the people I work with.

Mindset work means getting curious about how those beliefs were shaped, noticing the assumptions you’ve made about yourself and the world, and starting to challenge them. It lays the foundation for consistency, self-compassion, and being able to make changes that last.

Healing

Healing is about recognising the more subtle ways we’ve disconnected from ourselves — the coping mechanisms that used to serve us but now keep us stuck. Some of this is conscious: exhaustion, people-pleasing, perfectionism. But much of it runs deeper, shaped by trauma and what is carried in the body long after the moment has passed.

Breathwork is one of the ways I support this process. It helps move what talking can’t always reach Healing isn’t always comfortable, but it’s what allows all the other work — nutrition, mindset, movement — to actually take root.

Naked Nutrition was the first LGBTQ+ health-focused guide to diet and lifestyle. It covers a wide range of subjects, giving detailed, practical advice on LGBTQ+ health matters, including:

  • Weight Loss & Muscle Gain

  • Sex

  • Transgender Health

  • Addiction & The Party Lifestyle

  • Mental Health

The book is currently undergoing revision for a new edition, due in 2026. Until then, it’s offline — but it remains a central part of the work I do today.
