Too tired for life…

In 2008, everything changed. I became seriously unwell with overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, migraines and neurological symptoms I couldn’t explain. Eventually, I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia, an autoimmune condition that affects the body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12.

Despite treatment, I continued to struggle and began learning everything I could about my condition and the different things that influence our health.

I trained as a herbalist, naturopath and nutritionist, initially to help myself. I wanted to understand food, the body, plants and our relationship with health. I had no idea at the time that it would completely change my career and eventually lead me back to the plants I’d been growing and using since childhood.
