I am a Wellness Coach who has helped thousands of clients who have struggled with health issues for years to take their health and energy to optimal levels.

I use my four-pillar approach, which embodies four important aspects, physical-activity, nutrition, biochemistry, and mindset. I will coach and support you in these 4 aspects of your life.

I am your practitioner, Mari with bachelor’s degree in naturopathy and nursing. I assess your health holistically through personal medical history, current symptoms, family medical history, diet and lifestyle, and interpret pathology results to investigate the root cause of your condition. I have previous experience as a Registered Nurse in Finland that has given me deep experience in patient care within Western medicine. As a nurse I often got frustrated by the lack of treatment options or gaslighting from conventional medicine system and was longing for deeper understanding of disease and holistic approach to patients’ health issues. I found what I was looking for through Naturopathy and I am passioned to educate my clients to understand what is happening in their bodies and to offer natural ways to help manage, to heal and to prevent a disease. As treatment I use diet and lifestyle changes, herbal and nutraceutical medicine to bring harmony back into your body and mind. My knowledge is based on evidence from resent studies, clinical experience and traditional knowledge passed though literature. I can help you with -Gut and digestive health: reflux, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, dysbiosis, IBS, IBD, parasites, SIBO -Nervous system health: chronic stress, low mood, low energy, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, migraine and headaches -Women's health: PMS and PMDD, endometriosis, irregular periods, painful and heavy periods, hormonal changes, reoccurring UTI’s and thrush, vaginal health.

I am a degree qualified Clinical Nutritionist, and trained Chef with over 20 years experience in the kitchen. I love food, and i love nutrition and what better way then to combine the two together! I learnt the hard way several years ago what extreme stress can do to the body. After working hard as a chef for 15 years, I found myself to be burnt out, highly stressed and constantly exhausted - i didn't recognise myself in the mirror any more. I wasn't well, miserable and had lost direction in my life. After falling pregnant with my first child, i had the wake-up call or “sliding doors” moment I needed - this was not the way I wanted to live anymore. I realised that my passion lay with natural health, and decided to focus solely on my degree.Today, i am a different person, and am so passionate about helping others be the best versions of themselves that they can, that they can be happy, healthy and stress free! What i will do: * Show you that eating well does not mean bland, boring, or expensive * Encourage positive relationships between food and body image * Tailor nutrition and treatment plans specific to your individual needs - there is no one size fits all approach * Explain in detail the benefits of good nutrition, and why they are specially important to you What i won't do: * Use the word “diet” ( its all about dietary modifications) * Ban chocolate or sometime's foods completely from your diet (we all need balance in our lives, and food is to be enjoyed! - its all about moderation!) * Set unrealistic goals

My passion for achieving health through nutrition began in my own health journey, where I have benefited considerably from using ‘food as medicine’ and regaining control of my own health. I am passionate about 'empowering women to regain energy and perform at peak' using a natural nutrition approach. I love to enable women to improve their energy, reduce fatigue and clear their brain fog through eating the right foods and fuelling in the right way. On a professional level, I have worked with helping people manage and regain their health for nearly 20 years in the capacity as nutritionist and Nurse Clinician. I have post graduate qualifications in Human Nutrition, Performance Nutrition and a Masters in Public Health. I have also completed additional training in Nutrition for Peri/menopause for active women to reshape nutrition and training in this demographic. During a consultation together, we take a whole person view and not just focusing on symptoms. I combine evidenced based nutrition with your goals to help get you there! I work with doctors and specialists of all modalities along with other allied health practitioners to achieve best outcomes. I’d love to help you!
