Before I became fully qualified as a coach, I worked long hours in the hospitality industry, eating whatever I had time to lay my hands on before rushing back to work. On my days off, although I loved to cook, most of the time I was either too tired or busy catching up with life. I found it incredibly challenging to make healthy eating and regular exercise part of my busy routine. Around 7 years ago, during this phase of my life, I went plant-based. At the time, I chose the PB diet mostly for compassionate reasons, knowing little about the health or environmental benefits it could provide. My love for animals has been with me since I was a child and I simply didn't want to eat them any longer. Although I never looked back and still don't eat meat, I openly admit I made many mistakes. In the beginning, I didn't eat enough, nor did I eat the right things, and I ended up consuming a relatively unbalanced & unhealthy (albeit plant-based) diet. Since then, I've studied and qualified as a PN Coach and have made it my purpose to learn as much about plant-based nutrition as possible so that I can help other people make positive changes to their diets. My philosophy is simple; eat mostly whole foods, predominantly plants, most of the time and most of all, enjoy your food. I don't 'make' people vegan, I help them eat more plants. Because the evidence supporting the health benefits of eating a diet based on whole food plants is conclusive. My habit-based coaching strategy and scientifically sound nutrition advice are tried and tested and get long-term results. Remember, one of the most important decisions you make in life is which foods you choose to eat on a daily basis, not the foods you eat occasionally. Make sure those choices are good ones.
