Quick facts about me
  1. After dedicating a decade to the world of investment banking, I decided to pursue a new path as a nutritional therapist. My goal was to support women in naturally managing their health conditions through nutrition and lifestyle coaching.
  2. I'm the proud author of Deliciously Healthy Menopause, a book filled with scrumptious recipes and valuable nutritional advice to promote optimal health during perimenopause and menopause.
  3. I write Midlife Mojo, my weekly newsletter where I share my reflections on various topics, recommend favorite books, articles, and podcasts, and indulge in other delightful ramblings - every Friday.
  4. In 2021, I launched my first YouTube channel where I interviewed practitioners to learn about methods for making menopause more manageable. This autumn, I'm launching a second YouTube channel focusing on creating videos that educate and discuss valuable tips to bring more happiness, health, and ease to the lives of midlife moms - expect yummy recipes, pack lunch ideas, and tips to your everyday life.
  5. On this website, I write articles about nutrition, lifestyle, and life advice that I've found valuable over the years. Additionally, I love sharing my top picks for supplements and kitchen tips to enhance your well-being.
Other stuff
  1. Paris is my hometown. I was born, raised, and educated there before embarking on an exciting journey that led me to London in 2000.
  2. I am the proud mom of Theo, an enthusiastic skateboarder with a passion for video games.
  3. I have a challenging thyroid: while I put my hypothyroidism into remission in my late 30s (i.e. no more symptoms and no longer requiring medication), I eventually developed Hashimoto's in 2022. Remarkably, I actively manage the condition without medication and live symptom-free.
  4. At 49, navigating through perimenopause, I've found effective ways to manage any menopause symptoms by prioritising dedicated nutrition, making thoughtful lifestyle choices, and incorporating occasional supplementation.
  5. I enjoy an animal-based diet and am a fervent advocate of the importance of animal foods for women's physical and mental health. Passionate about traveling the world, I tried guinea pig in Peru, shark in Australia, bison in the United States, and reindeer in Sweden.
  6. I love learning! Here is a snapshot of my most relevant trainings.
  7. For three years (before lockdowns were initiated), I had the privilege to be a resident nutritionist on the Chrissy B Show, an impactful Sky television program dedicated to mental health.
