"My love for food, passion for health and true happiness in helping people reach their goals is a short and sweet way to describe me. I’m a down-to-earth, genuine, warm and compassionate creature who enjoys exploring nature, traveling the world, board games, playing basketball and most of all; creating weird and wonderful things in the kitchen! Growing up in Cairns, North QLD, I am a small town girl at heart, and coming from an extremely diverse background (Russian, Polish, Papua New Guinean and Chinese, to name a few…) I have found that food, no matter how different it can be, connects everyone. Even though Russians like their boiled potato in sour cream and sauerkraut, and Papua New Guineans prefer fire-cooked pork and coconut cream cooked sweet potato, we are all family of the world, connected by our diversity of food.

I moved to the Gold Coast to study Health Sciences after high school. When I completed the 3-year degree, I was eager to do more with myself. During my time discovering what I wanted to do, I began to really notice my family and friends that were suffering from health issues that were not only manageable, but preventable. And when I uncovered that most of the health issues were diet- and food-related, the universe directed me to Nutrition and Dietetics. I completed the 2-year post-graduate certification to become an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD). Although currently on Maternity Leave.

​

I believe in helping people to strive to be the best versions of themselves, with healthy and delicious eating, active living and enjoying life! The small wins, the support, the encouragement and the belief in oneself is what makes us reach our goals, and that is what I aim to bring to every person I help."
