“With over 12 years of experience in the dietetic field, I find it most rewarding to assist people in making behavioural changes that help improving their overall wellbeing. My practice aligns with the nutrition principles of Health at Every Size (HAES), which advocate a healthy relationship with food and shift the focus from weight loss diets. I approach the treatment of patients with a commitment to equality and respect for their human dignity, irrespective of their cultural, ethnic, or religious background”.
Why “O-Live Nutrition”
My Story with Olive trees goes way back. Growing up in a country surrounded by fields of olive trees I developed a deep connection with these ancient symbols of hope and endurance. This journey unfolded into an unforgettable chapter as we embarked on a family trip to witness the splendour of one of the world’s most ancient olive trees, their roots reaching back to 3000 BC.
Beneath the gnarled branches and silvery leaves, I realise that my story with olive trees is an ongoing one, a narrative intertwined with the cycles of growth, change and resilience. In the presence of these ancient sentinels, I continue to discover the profound lessons they offer, rooted in the essence of “Peace, Harmony, Endurance and Health”
And this is what I hope for people to experience as they embark on their health journey with O-Live Nutrition.
In a world inundated with restrictive and unsustainable fad diets, we advocate for a compassionate and mindful approach to nourishment that goes beyond the conventional norms.
At O-Live Nutrition, we promote self-care, body positivity, and the intrinsic value of nourishing oneself without the constraints of diet culture. Our mission is to empower individuals to make informed choices that align with their overall mental and physical well-being. Through education, Goal setting and behavioural change strategies, we strive to help our clients build a healthy and balanced relationship with food and their bodies.
