I’m an artist, a writer and a researcher. My passions are grounded in the science of functional nutrition, a deep connection to the energy that connects us and the desire to be a healing part of your journey whatever form that takes.
(I’m also a camera geek, I use both sides of my brain so don’t be surprised if I short circuit once in a while!)

​
I started as a chef. I quickly learned I was more passionate about the art of plating the food than the stress of cooking, so I grew into a food stylist and photographer at the same time. Food is a huge part of my life, so I went on to understand it from the inside too. My work is editorial, artistic and shaped by that same curiosity about what food actually does in the body.​
Migraine Unread
Deeper than a diagnosis.
I’m a doctor of functional nutrition living with hemiplegic migraine, and I’ve learned how to heal, not to cure. I share my journey and the daily reality of what life actually feels like inside a body that rarely cooperates with “normal life.”
