Hi, I’m Janette!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the intricacies of the human body and how it functions. During my university years, I studied cognitive science to gain a deeper understanding of how the brain regulates our thoughts and processes.
However, it wasn’t until my own health started to decline after university that I became driven to explore the body’s incredible ability to heal itself. This sparked my decision to pursue an intensive program at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, where my world was forever transformed. I had the privilege of learning from seasoned nutritionists, naturopaths, pharmacists, and herbalists, which laid the foundation for my holistic approach to health.
Equipped with this knowledge, I began working alongside naturopaths and medical doctors, practicing functional nutrition and ensuring I stayed rooted in clinical, evidence-based practices.
Over the years, I’ve found my true passion in specializing in GI health, particularly IBS and IBDs, as well as postpartum recovery—helping women restore hormone balance, improve mood, and achieve lasting weight loss. I’ve witnessed firsthand the powerful transformations that occur when functional nutrition, targeted testing, and specific supplementation are used to restore health.
Today, it’s an honor to work with clients around the world, guiding them in understanding their bodies better and supporting them on their journey to long-term wellness. My mission is to educate individuals on the vital importance of gut health and how to approach it holistically, so they can thrive in all areas of life.
I am a Certified Nutritional Practitioner with Functional Diagnostics training. Over the years, I have continued my education to specialize in gastrointestinal health and support clients with IBS, IBD, SIBO, GERD, food sensitivities and more.
