ABOUT SALLY

As a mother of two teenagers, I'm empathetic of the struggles we face with juggling everything and barely having time for ourselves.  I know what it feels like to need that pat on the shoulder or that helping hand of support, while navigating through life. 

​

At a young age I was involved in competitive swimming.  Over time, I started to make connections with my performance, energy levels, wellbeing and overall health.  My journey with nutrition was further consolidated with the birth of my first child, the loss of a very close family member to a heart attack, as well as witnessing the struggles facing family and friends as a result of wrong food choices and unhealthy habits. 

 

With the vast availability of fad diets and the unscientific advice constantly floating around us, the idea behind food and its effect on us started overtaking my thoughts.  How strange is it that food could be our medicine but a force of destruction at the same time?  How do we make the balance? and what does the science really tell us?  These questions led me to make a career shift and follow my passion.

​

Throughout my studies I started to see that knowledge is one side of the equation, and adherence is another.  That led me to Health and Wellness Coaching and the need to build on the individual's values and priorities to reach their goals.

​

After completing my Masters degree in nutrition, I qualified as a registered nutritionist with the Association of Nutrition (AfN).  I hold an International Olympic Committe Sports Nutrition certification and an ISAK accreditation for skinfolds body assessment.  I am also a Mayo Clinic certified Health and Wellness coach, and one of a few in the world to be certified by the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC).  My qualification is acknowledged by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME).  My combined qualifications allow me to support you in achieving your health and wellness goals and reaching your potential.
