Hi, I'm Louise

As a nutritionist and health coach, I support women through the physical and emotional experience of perimenopause. I teach practical strategies combined with support for your emotional wellbeing.

I serve the woman who feels like the glue — holding up her world while quietly wondering, What about me?

How it all started...

A few years ago I found myself in the thick of perimenopause - overwhelmed, aching, emotional and unsure where I had gone.

Like so many women, I was still showing up for everyone else — my children, my work, my community — while quietly falling apart inside. I felt like a stranger in my own body, grieving the loss of youth, and longing for clarity, energy, and connection… but found little support that saw the whole woman I was.

I yearned for adventure, purpose and to understand who I was and what I was doing with my life. I put all the pieces of the puzzle together - nutrition, movement, connection, boundaries, stress, and self-care. And now I am showing up for other women who also want to thrive.

Some fun facts about me...

I used to be a lawyer and an adviser to state and federal governments. My career shift started 10 years ago when I returned to university to study nutrition.

I absolutely love weeding my garden! I get such a sense of achievement at seeing something looking untidy and in need of care to a beautiful finished product.

One of my favourite past times is reading. I mostly enjoy real life adventure stories as I like to be inspired by the amazing things people do.

I live with my husband, our daughter and our dog Tommy. Our son is currently living and studying abroad as a student athlete. We miss him very much!

I am passionate about health and wellness and the role nutrition plays in that. I love creating hearty salads that my daughter likes to call 'quirky'!

When my son was one, my husband and I took him to live in a camper van in Europe for 6 months. We drove 22,000km and visited many places off the tourist path.

I'd love to get to know you too!
