Integrative Nutrition
Have you ever heard of eating for genes? Are you tired of trends that last a season and once stopped, your hormones are imbalanced and the weight piles on faster than you can say: thicccc? Are you vegan but lacking every nutrient under the sun and wonder why you can’t fall pregnant? It’s not a diet – it’s a lifestyle change and understanding how to eat for your genes can change your life – forever. I understand that nutrition looks different for everybody. That’s why I’m passionate about providing inclusive nutrition for all bodies, that’s tailored, insightful and actually works, long-term.
The idea of viewing food goes further than the number of calories you consume at every mealtime. Integrative nutrition combines medical insights into foods that not only nourish but also heal your body and its organs, too. It aims to educate my Wholesomebae followers on topics around their digestive health, the gut-brain connection and how imbalances impact their health while addressing genetic predispositions, environmental impacts as well as physiological or psychological factors. It looks at how manifesting a healthy relationship with food and your body is directly related to healing, anti-ageing, prevention of disease, psychological benefactors and overall health benefits.
Offering both DNA-based and general naturopathic nutritional consultancy, I’m dedicated to helping others feel their best by understanding what’s going on inside of their body and creating awareness around how certain genes affect our food intake, wholefoods and what we define as a “healthy” lifestyle. I’ll ensure that you’re taking the right steps towards finding an evidence-based nutrition program that fits in with your lifestyle but most importantly: it’s tailored to your DNA – it will improve your quality of life and it can be sustained for a lifetime.
DNA Testing
Your health outcomes can be influenced by genetic factors, as well as your diet, lifestyle and environmental changes. Because each of us are so unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to our well-being. We’re big on that at Wholesomebae! Instead of doing what works ok for most, you can do what works best for you through DNA testing. It’s personalised medicine at its best, allowing me to take a uniquely tailored approach that uplifts you to a level most people never access, resulting in the most sought-after results.
You will unlock your future and discover that all the tools that you need to heal yourself, are already inside of you.

Epigenetics
Epigenetics refers to the understanding of how your behaviour and environment cause changes that affect the way your genes work. This includes influences; such as a person’s diet and exposure to pollutants that impact your epigenome. Epigenetic modifications are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads the DNA sequence. By understanding how food affects your mental and physical health, external pollutants such as toxic household products and misleading labels disrupt your hormones, managing stress through mindfulness, yoga and holistic therapies – you’re able to reduce disease, injury and all ailments connected to an unhealthy and a disease induced lifestyle.
Yoga, Mindfulness + Wholesome Lifestyle Management
Being wholesome implies organic, authentic and balanced living. Not only does it include being healthy, but also happy, fulfilled and aligned. We as human beings need to understand the connection between mind, body and soul by realising that these parts – in alignment – make us whole. By understanding these connections, we’re able to reduce and cure environmentally induced illnesses, reverse ageing, naturally prolong our lives, truly understand why prevention is better than cure and personally harness the power that we possess inside of us, in order to be in control of our health and quality of life. Lifestyle management through epigenetics, diet, fitness, nutrition, yoga and mindfulness practices embrace the power that we ALL have inside of us to HEAL, align and empower ourselves from within.
