Why work with Alison?

YOU are at the centre of the work we do together

I work with women like you,  who are seeking support to begin the process of change in their relationship with food, alcohol and themselves.

Change the Guilt. Change the Shame. Change the Self-doubt.

In a world that markets perfectionism and unattainable beauty standards, women are often left feeling like they just cannot keep up, feeling like they are just not good enough. Are you feeling stressed, wired and tired? When we feel stressed, what do we do? We often seek internal comfort and distraction from those negative feelings,

And how do women seek comfort? 

Some women will seek comfort from eating highly processed foods which are high in carbohydrates, fats and sugars.  Some will engage in drinking too much alcohol to cope. Others might seek out a Netflix binge. 

In essence, when we are stressed we are seeking coping strategies. We are  seeking relief from our negative emotions. In the early stages comfort eating (or drinking) triggers the release of chemicals (such as dopamine and serotonin) in our body that produce feelings of pleasure and happiness.

Over time we learn that this is how we cope, how we seek relief from stress. But what does it do to our health?

The consequences of this comfort eating and drinking can lead to weight gain, poor nutrition or poor self-image. It can  lead to health conditions such as anxiety, depression and or even type 2 diabetes.

About me

WHO AM I?

 I am a busy mum, health professional and student.

I am a pharmacist,  diabetes educator, nutritionist and health coach. I love helping people like you transfer their lives

I have a special interest in lifestyle medicine and the link between stress, mental health and nutrition. Especially identifying nutrition habits that are linked to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes.

There is a strong link between stress, mental health and our habits where we seek relief from these negative emotions. These habits can be associated with comfort eating and drinking.

I use a range of tools to facilitate change in people's lives seeking help with change. This includes facilitating appropriate support, mental health coaching, herbal medicine and nutrient therapy.

I have completed the PreKure course in Advanced Mental Health Coaching (AMHC).

As a health & wellbeing coach, I help people identify and connect their emotional stresses with the habits where they seek relief. We identify desired change,  establish new sustainable lifestyle change to improve their emotional wellbeing and physical health. I support you to create and commitment to the change. Your way!

Support. Action. Accountability.

It brings me joy when I witness this transformation in clients and their health.

I am an advocate of sustainable change and habits.

I am a big fan of holistic and natural health, clean eating, spending time in nature, jogging (let’s call it a shuffle) and motorbike riding.
