My story

A personal journey that gave meaning to my work

Since I was very young, I have suffered from recurring abdominal pain and digestive disorders, without really understanding what was happening in my body.

In 2016, my symptoms intensified, with severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea and periods of constipation.

After various tests, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Gluten and lactose intolerances were also identified.

Among other things, I was advised to follow a Low FODMAP diet. Yet this approach did not bring me the results I had hoped for, and I was left with a lot of questions, without really knowing how to adapt my diet in a lasting way.

So I started looking for answers myself

Faced with this situation, I felt the need to understand what was really happening in my body.

I began reading, studying and looking for answers to better understand my symptoms, my diet and the links between the different factors that could influence them.

This personal search gradually sparked a real interest in nutrition and the wish to go further in this field.

The link between the body, emotions and stress

In 2025, I went through a period of professional burnout.

This experience made me even more aware of how closely stress, emotions and our health are linked, particularly our digestive balance.

It also led me to reflect deeply on my professional path and on what I really wanted to pass on to others.

It was then that the idea of changing direction and training in the field of nutrition became obvious.

Why nutrition?

Throughout my professional experience — in shops, bars, insurance and the social sector — I have always worked in contact with people.

I have always loved listening, helping, reassuring and putting people at ease. Empathy, kindness and listening have always been part of how I am with others.

Today, I want to put these qualities, along with my knowledge and personal experience, at the service of people who want to better understand their diet and their health.

Understanding, to take an active part in your health

This is something particularly close to my heart.

I don’t want to simply hand you a list of foods to cut out or rules to follow.

I want to help you understand your concern, your condition or your symptoms, to better understand why certain dietary adjustments can be useful and, above all, to know how to fit them into your daily life.

My goal is for you not to feel trapped by a diagnosis or a list of forbidden foods.

On the contrary, I want to pass on knowledge and concrete tools, so that you can gradually become more independent in your food choices and move forward with greater confidence.

From my experience to your support

My own journey taught me that it can be hard to find simple answers when you suffer from digestive disorders or have to change the way you eat.

That’s why I want to offer human, individualised and non-judgemental support, in which you can be listened to, understood and supported at your own pace.

Understanding your diet also means learning to listen to your body better and taking an active part in your health.
