Welcome to SOL Natural Health!
I created SOL Natural Health in 2018 after qualifying as a Clinical Nutritionist in order to live out my passion helping YOU to become the happiest, healthiest and well-balanced version of yourself. I began my passion and ‘way of life’ for health and wellbeing around 4 years ago after my own personal health concerns as well as starting a plant-based lifestyle. My reasons for going vegan were moral and ethical, but as I started to investigate things for myself, it began clear this sudden decision could prove wonders for my health. I wanted to learn everything I could to thrive and persevere down a natural route.
This led me to begin my educational journey, studying an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine at Nature Care College in Sydney for 3 years. Wow, I have never looked back and want to consistently move forward in the same direction – I am happy to say that I have found what I am truly interested and passionate about in life (I unconsciously spend my day thinking about food and nutrition!). My previous background saw me studying to become a primary school teacher for 2 years before realizing it just was not the right path for me.
My endeavor allowed me to gain the correct information through an evidence-based approach and expanded my knowledge immensely (there really is a world of ‘nutrition’)! I find the human body and its reaction with the food we consume fascinating. I believe in this specific industry, learning is never complete and this line of work is consistently updating research and studies when contraindicated or until proven correct. With this, there is such a vast interest in the field of food that there can be a lot of misguidance and misinformation about nutrition. Having this education behind me allows credibility to educate you with my knowledge and experience, which will continue to bloom as I have continued my education at ACNT in Pyrmont, completing the Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy). This will enable me to obtain the most appropriate, safe and effective approach in practice seeing clients!
I believe every individual is different, hence my business name SOL Natural Health. Sol is the Latin name for ‘Sun’, the center of the solar system & providing energy on Earth, quite important if you ask me. You would also know Sole to mean ‘the only one’ or ‘individual’. My meaning behind choosing the name was purely focused that every person has differing and individual needs, which I think people lack in remembering. As a natural healthcare practitioner, I place the health of my patient before my own individual beliefs and provide an evidence-based focus as it is imperative to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan that is beneficial to your health. Remember, nutrition is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

In health & happiness,
