AMV CLINICAL NUTRITION – gold coast
AMV Clinical Nutrition – Gold Coast was established to assist women struggling with ongoing gut issues that they just can’t seem to fix and fill the gap for those of us who are feeling overlooked by the medical system battling our hormones and thyroid conditions. I offer sustainable programs and support to help reduce your signs and symptoms and improve your vitality and wellbeing.
When my own unhealthy eating habits led to gallstones and ultimately the removal of my gallbladder, I was driven to reassess my nutrition for the benefit of my long term health. My passion for wanting to understand how our bodies respond and thrive in relation to what we eat led to me studying nutrition at the Endeavour College of Natural Health, gaining a Health Science Degree in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine. My Clinic, located in Helensvale on the Gold Coast ‘specialising in gut issues, hormonal imbalances such as peri-menopause and menopause, and thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s, and hypothyroid, which are all common conditions that cause stubborn weight gain. I believe that the body can be healed through good nutrition and lifestyle choices. I’m passionate about helping my clients regain their vitality again.

my story
My health journey began when I was around 27 years old. I was a very unhealthy person at the time, I was overweight and in an emotionally abusive relationship. I moved to London where I became quite sick and it was established that I had gallstones (20 of them). I was in intense pain whenever I ate anything fatty or unhealthy, I became jaundiced and ended up in hospital with a stone stuck in my pancreatic duct. This led to the removal of my gallbladder and two further operations due to complications. For me, this was a wake up call that my habits needed to change and the beginning of my journey in health. At the time I lost 20kg, I got out of my toxic relationship and life was good again.
Fast forward to now and I’m again on a health journey. I’m now 42 and beginning the very first stages of peri-menopause and the battle of the hormones has commenced with weight gain again becoming a problem, but for different reasons this time. Through my education and having completed my degree in nutritional medicine, coupled with my own experiences, I now have a positive relationship and understanding of food and nutrition. I understand that the word ‘diet’ is not a positive word for us to use. Instead, we need to have a healthy outlook about food, identify triggers, and figure out what drives our choices. Once this is established, you can then focus on making nutrient dense and nourishing choices that fuel your body and leave you feeling satisified.
I’m still on my own health journey, but I want you to know I that I get it, I’ve walked in your shoes, I know the struggles, the heartache and the feeling that nobody understands how hard it can be. I’m here to take your hand and help you navigate the world of nutrition, provide you with bespoke targeted plans and work at your pace. Together, we can reach the goals you are wanting to achieve.
