My wellness journey began in a very personal way. As a teenager, my mum was diagnosed with tumours in her spleen, and as a family we started to look more closely at what we were putting in and on our bodies. That experience changed everything for me. It opened my eyes to the connection between food, lifestyle, mindset, and overall wellbeing, and it’s what ultimately led me to create KORA Organics and to live a more intentional, nourishing way of life.
The Institute for Integrative Nutrition—specifically The Health Coach Training Program™—helped me to deepen and expand that foundation. IIN gave me language, structure, and a holistic framework that brought together everything I intuitively felt to be true about health. It reinforced the idea that wellness is not one size fits all, and that real transformation happens when we nourish the mind, body, and spirit together. That perspective continues to guide how I live, how I raise my children, and how I share wellness with the world.

Q: AS AN AUSTRALIAN, IF YOU HAD TO PICK JUST ONE PLACE RECOMMEND TO VISIT, WHERE WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

Q&A: Daily Rituals + Wellness Habits
Q: WHAT IS ONE WELLNESS RITUAL YOU NEVER SKIP?
A: My 20 min. morning meditation. It helps me connect to the deeper part of myself. When I take that time for stillness first, I feel more present, centred, and able to move through the day with ease rather than reactivity.
Q: WHAT'S YOUR GO-TO "RESET" WHEN YOU'RE FEELING OVERWHELMED?
A: Deep breathing, stepping outside, and reconnecting with nature. I love putting my feet in the grass, opening my palms to the sun, and taking a few slow, intentional breaths. Even a few minutes like this helps so much.
Q: WHAT'S THE SMALLEST HABIT THAT'S MADE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE?
A: Starting my day by opening the windows and blinds and letting the sunlight touch my face. I begin the morning slowly and intentionally, allowing natural light to wake my body gently. It helps regulate my body clock, lifts my mood, and sets a calm, grounded tone for everything that follows.
Q: WHAT'S ONE WELLNESS TREND YOU WISH WOULD DISAPPEAR FOREVER?
A: Extreme restriction or “quick fixes.” Wellness should feel supportive, not stressful.
Q: WHAT WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE JUST STARTING THEIR HEALTH JOURNEY?
A: Be gentle with yourself. Wellness isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Small, consistent changes made with intention and self-compassion add up over time.
A: I was always interested in health and wellness from a young age, but watching my mum navigate her health challenges was a pivotal moment that sparked a lifelong commitment to holistic wellbeing and ultimately led me to launching KORA Organics.
Q&A: KORA ORGANICS
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KORA ORGANICS PRODUCT?

A: Nurtured, empowered, and confident in their skin, with the peace of mind that what they’re putting on their body is both safe and effective.
Q: WHAT'S ONE COMMON MYTH ABOUT ORGANIC BEAUTY YOU'D LIKE TO DEBUNK?
