Why a dandelion?
Do you know how amazing a “simple” dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale) is?
The dandelion plant is entirely edible: flowers, stem, leaves and roots can be used.
Nutritionally, the dandelion is rich in polyphenols, caroteinoids, vitamins C, B-complex, K, choline, minerals such as iron, potassium and calcium.
-
Tip - add dandelion florets to salads for a dose of flavonoids
-
Tip - eat the bitter dandelion leaves raw in a salad or steamed
Medicinally, the dandelion has been used for centuries in many different parts of the world. It is mostly known for its action on detox organs such as liver and kidneys. It has tonic, digestive, detoxing, diuretic, mildly laxative properties and it favours bile release.
-
Tip - use dried roots for curative teas. Dandelion roots can be great for liver support. Ask your herbalist for directions!

And once the flower has become a seed head… blowing on the dandelion…

Your ally in becoming the most energised version of yourself
Are you at the mercy of recurring symptoms that deplete you of your energy and leave you feeling you are missing out on your life? I know exactly what you are going through: I have been there.
​
But I managed to gain my health back. I did it by identifying the most relevant nutritional and lifestyle factors, unique to me, and learning how to leverage them to stay in balance. As a researcher and engineer, I did that by studying, carefully listening to my body, experimenting with changes and tracking results.
​
I now use my personal experience, my analytical skills and ability to dig deep and connect the dots to help you feel empowered and in-control of your health so that you can live at your fullest potential.

YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF ...
You are aware that nutrition and lifestyle matter but are not sure about what to do
- you are "eating healthy” and “doing everything right” but it’s not working!​
​
​
​You don’t resonate with the “X for Y approach”
(a pill/herb/supplement/treatment/… for an ill)
and you want to work with someone who asks
loads of questions, digs deep and puts the pieces of the puzzle together
​
You are ready to experiment, listen to your body and track changes
​​
BODY SIGNALS
Is your body sending you louder and louder signals that you can no longer ignore?
(WORK) PERFORMANCE
Is your performance either at work or in your private life affected and you feel like you are missing out?
YOUR UNIQUE SELF
UNPREDICTABILITY
Are you constantly worrying about your next flare or lack of energy to the point you avoid taking commitments or often have to give them up?
Are you frustrated being described with a “label” (condition, diagnosis, symptom) rather than as a whole person, with her unique story, family history, characteristics and emotions?
FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE COACHING
It's time to go on an exploration journey and find out more about yourself!
I'd love to come along, ask you the right questions and help you put all the pieces of your unique puzzle together.

MY PHILOSOPHY
Our body is a “web of interconnections” [1] in which each aspect has a profound influence on all the others.
[1] [Andrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist, Educator and Speaker]
​​
We are all unique and beautifully different : we need to honour our bioindividuality.
​​
Our everyday choices do matter and there is a lot we can do to support our health and manage our chronic problems: diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, community, stress management, movement, sense of purpose, our thoughts and beliefs...
​​
Only by being educated on how our bodies work and tuned-in with our bodies and souls, we can make informed choices and support our own health and our bodies’ healing through difficult times.
