Where it all began

My Story
I’m one of the fortunate few who truly loves my job! From a young age, I’ve always wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I initially considered becoming a medical doctor, but I was disheartened by the diagnose-and-medicate approach to healthcare at the time. Instead, I chose to pursue a career in physiotherapy, which resonated more with my holistic view of treatment and healing.
When my first son was born, I faced challenges I never could have imagined. At just three weeks old, the crying began. I sought help everywhere and tried everything from medical specialists to sound therapy, but nothing seemed to work. It was heart-wrenching to see my child suffer without being able to help. That is, until I discovered functional medicine. The change was nothing short of transformative—my child went from struggling to thriving.
Having personally experienced the benefits of this approach, I was driven to learn how I could help others achieve similar transformations. I enrolled in a functional medicine coaching program based in the USA to deepen my knowledge. I then integrated this new understanding into my practice, shifting my treatment approach to focus on addressing the root causes of health issues.
My passion now lies in sharing the knowledge I’ve gained and supporting others on their journey to health and happiness.
