How we interact with
Nutrition has profound effects on health throughout the life course, including physical growth, cognitive maturation, mental health and behaviour. Food can influence the way we feel and how we interact with the world.
We are all different, therefore is not a one diet that fits all. Finding your own food identity that suits your own needs throughout your life is pivotal to create a good relationship with food.
Understand our body signals is crucial to tune in with hunger and satiety cues. These signals look and feel different to everyone. Sometime is not easy to identify them, and you might need help to connect with them.

Who I am?
I’m a mum of two little boys (six and two years old) and have ten years experience as a dietitian.
Being a mum has given me a complete understanding of how difficult it is to be in charge of the food choices at home. I know that everyone is a unique universe that needs to be heard and cared for.
I’m not here to judge
There was a day when I was a first-time mum, and I had to face a picky eater with ADHD and ASD. As a Dietitian I thought I knew it all, little did I know that the more pressure I put onto my kid to eat his vegetables, I was reinforcing an unhealthy relationship with food.
Thinking back, the main reason I became a Dietitian was that, as an adolescent, I was also a picky eater, and I liked only a few veggies; when I was old enough to be in charge of my own food choices, I wanted to have a “healthier” diet, so I did my research, my young and vulnerable brain, was easily trapped with all the misconceptions about nutrition, I felt confused, and I tried to find a place where I belong with my own food choices. All I could see were Fad diets and restrictions to manipulate our bodies.
Since then, I have committed to being the professional that I needed to guide me through the process of understanding my body through nutrition in the way that I would have loved to have been guided when I was an adolescent and as a new mum dealing with the food challenges of a neurodivergent kid.
I have created the FoodIdentity approach, that honours everyones individuality in their food choices, with intuitive eating practices, as it is the most natural way of connecting with our body needs. I aim to help people of all ages going through transitions and parents dealing with that challenge, inspire curiosity around food, and create teamwork to nurture a happier relationship with food.
