Hey there, I’m Ava, your go-to integrative nutrition health coach specialising in Women’s Menopausal Health. I’m here to empower you with the tools and support you need for your health journey. With a background in corporate law, I understand the demands of a hectic lifestyle. For years, I pushed myself to the limit, ignoring the signs of stress and fatigue. But as my forties approached, my body started sending unmistakable signals. Anxiety crept in, and I knew I needed a change. Like many, I found answers hard to come by from traditional sources. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping women like you navigate this transformative stage with clarity and vitality.
My Story
It all started in my late 30’s. I was supposedly living the dream life. I had a successful career, a fantastic set of friends, and a healthy relationship. But I didn’t feel like myself anymore. I noticed subtle changes taking place in my body, which I could not explain.
Although I have always struggled with my weight, this time the weight would not budge no matter what new diet I tried. My worst symptom was low-grade anxiety, which was attributed to the pressures of my career. Reluctantly, I followed medical advice, taking antidepressants to manage anxiety while juggling a hectic lifestyle. Life carried on, years passed, and I survived the stress of moving countries amid the COVID lockdown and starting my life from scratch in a foreign land. I had become used to the ”new normal”.
Until one morning in 2022, Unable to rise from bed, I was overwhelmed by exhaustion and a racing heart. Days passed in a haze until a breakdown in the middle of the grocery store left me in tears, bewildered by my emotions. This was not normal, it was scary! Was this perimenopause? With my legal background and newfound passion as a holistic health coach, I dove into the research, determined to find answers and come out from whatever this was, unscathed.
Having faced my many battles with anxiety, chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, dry skin, low libido, hormone and HRT imbalance, muscle pain, and feeling like my mind and body were just broken, I know what it’s like to feel less than supported by the healthcare system, unheard and ashamed. I felt lost and frustrated until I found the right tools and support to help me regain control of my health and feel amazing about myself again. I am here to here to help you take charge, smash your goals, and find your joy in life again. I provide evidence-based support using nutrition, mindset coaching, lifestyle strategies and behaviour change to address hormone and gut health imbalances that underpin a lot of perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Together, let’s uncover solutions and emerge stronger on the other side.
