My Story – Why I Do This Work
​
My professional path in nutrition and health coaching began with personal experience. In 2016, I faced significant health challenges that required me to fundamentally rethink how I approached food, stress, recovery and everyday habits.
​
Through applying science‑informed nutrition and lifestyle changes, I supported my recovery from Lyme disease and rehabilitation following brain surgery. This journey taught me that lasting health is not created through extreme rules or quick fixes, but through personalised, consistent and evidence‑based choices that fit real life.
​
This understanding continues to shape how I work with my clients today.
​
​
My Professional Journey
​
I am a certified Nutrition Counsellor and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, supporting adults who want to improve their health in a sustainable and structured way.
​
I completed my Integrative Nutrition Health Coach training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2022. Since 2021, I have worked with clients on personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support digestion, energy levels, blood sugar balance, metabolic health, body composition and overall wellbeing.
​
To strengthen my evidence‑based and clinical knowledge, I completed formal nutrition counselling studies at Rahvatervise Akadeemia (Public Health Academy) in 2024. In May 2025, I was awarded the state‑recognised Nutrition Counsellor Professional Certificate (Level 5) in Estonia, confirming my competence to provide client‑centred, science‑based nutrition counselling in line with national standards.
​
My approach is food‑first, practical and focused on long‑term behaviour change — not restrictive diets or trends.

Writing, Education & Outreach
I have been writing about nutrition and health since 2000, publishing over 200 articles in English and Estonian. My work focuses on evidence‑based nutrition, practical lifestyle guidance and realistic strategies that support everyday health.
​
I also deliver nutrition and health presentations and workshops for organisations, schools and community groups.
​
A Holistic Perspective
​
Born and raised in Estonia, I have lived and worked in several countries, including South Africa, the UK, Scandinavia, the United States and Australia. This international experience has shaped my understanding of health across different cultures and lifestyles.
​
Movement and time outdoors are an essential part of my own wellbeing, from walking and strength training to swimming, roller-blading, cycling and yoga. Continuous learning — through professional education and scientific literature — is central to how I work and live.
