Meet Belle
My Story..
Hi, Im Belle. Im a Nutritionist and Artist. I hold a Bachelor of Nutrition and have over a decade of personal experience navigating chronic illness and overcoming food related challenges. I’ve found healing in my relationship with food and moved beyond severe food intolerances. I am passionate about how the nervous system and mind play a role in digestive health through the gut brain axis.
My health journey began after a mild traumatic brain injury which led to a wide range of debilitating symptoms that left me searching for answers. The only thing that brought temporary relief was avoiding foods. I felt overwhelmed, stuck and broken until i discovered how my nervous system was influencing everything i was experiencing. It was the missing piece that finally helped me understand how everything fit together.
i realized that creating safety was fundamental to my own healing, digestion and nourishment.
This new understanding prepared me for what came next.
I experienced a profound healing breakthrough through prayer. As i stepped out in faith and retrained my brain to feel safe around food again, years of fear and restriction began to fall away. Nutrition became about nourishment rather than avoidance. This is the approach i bring to my work as a nutritionist. Today, i help people find freedom with food through an approach that integrates nutrition, the nervous system and the mind.
My mission is to inspire hope for healing.
Outside of work, i spend most of my time, in nature, painting, baking, playing piano and learning about holistic health. I am currently completing a mind body syndrome practitioner course.
