My professional training in nutrition and health coaching has taken place over the past decade, following a deliberate career change in my 30s.
This shift marked a move from corporate work into evidence-based health education and coaching, with a particular focus on plant-predominant nutrition, long-term behaviour change, and practical application in real life.
