About Juliana
There was a time when I assumed feeling tired, flat, and frequently unwell was simply part of life. Like many of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s, my early diet reflected the era - heavily processed, low in nutrients, sugar and refined carbs were still considered harmless, and there was barely a mention of protein outside of bodybuilding circles. Exercise wasn’t encouraged, and conversations about long-term health or prevention were rare.
Although I wasn’t unwell in a medical sense, I certainly didn’t feel well. Now, years later, many of us are noticing the effects of that early nutritional landscape in our energy, focus, digestion, and resilience.
My turning point came with motherhood, when my eldest son was diagnosed with autism. Determined to understand how nutrition might support him, I went down a rabbit hole of research. What I learned changed not only his wellbeing, but also my own.
Supporting his cognitive health became part of everyday life, not just something I studied. It was this experience that ultimately led me to retrain at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition to understand how food, lifestyle and targeted strategies could improve health.
Over time, I have rebuilt my gut health, immune resilience and experienced that exhaustion isn't the norm. I have found a genuine love for movement and trained for events I never imagined possible - including a marathon, sprint triathlons, and most recently, Hyrox.
Today, I support clients who are already trying hard to look after themselves. They may be training regularly and prioritising their health, but still feel as though something isn’t quite right. For some, it's unexplained fatigue, slow recovery, or stubborn changes in body composition. For others, it’s the worry that their memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be, or that they're doing too little, too late, to protect their brain as they age.
My role is to help you join the dots. Using the principles of functional medicine, I work with you to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms and create a personalised, evidence-based plan that fits your life. The goal isn’t just short-term improvement, it’s long-term clarity, resilience, and confidence in your health.
