Do you have health issues? Do you have lower sex drive, irritability, hair loss, or spotting? Do you try to figure out what can be hidden behind those migranes, endless bloating, fatigue, but even back pain or the inability to lose weight? Is your whole body longing to have a baby but your doctors tells you everything is fine and yet, you cannot get pregnant?
I help women feel better! I help women like you, to solve their health issues and sort through confusing diet advice. Yes, quick fixes like low carb or 1000cal a day diets are always too good to be true and as you know yourself, those kilos will always find their way back. I want to help you find the answers and start that snow ball of feeling better rolling!
​
I see you and I hear you! Even though your doctor might tell you everything is fine with you, your pain, your frustration and your complains ARE REAL!

My mission is to swipe away the confusion about how to live the healthiest life possible.
​
My passion for helping women with their health issues stems from my background in biochemistry. My love for science and naturopathic medicine enables me to merge scientific advancements with the body’s natural healing abilities. I use lab tests to closely examine hormones, vitamins, minerals, and intestines to identify the root cause. Whether it’s the migraines, unexplained rage or fatigue, whether it’s your PMS struggles or you need a support with your current diagnosis where regular medicine has failed you, my goal is for you to find a balanced wellbeing here on Leafy Life and find that INNER GODDESS you deserve to feel and to be!
​
In short, I will give you the tools you need to feel and look your best!

My education
​
I studied biochemistry, specifically cancer research at Slovak Technical University. After moving to the Netherlands, I was lucky enough to work at the Cancer Center Amsterdam, VUMC as a research analyst at the department of Pediatric Oncology after moving to the Netherlands in 2006. Later our two sons were born and I was in the middle of a dilemma. I wanted to combine my biochemistry background with my passion for healthy and delicious food. After exploring the educational options in nutrition, I decided that orthomolecular therapist is a great fit for me. It combines biochemistry and nutrition. One of the biggest passions in my life.
I love reading up on the latest studies and incorporating the findings into my practice. My ideas, thoughts, and practices will reflect this and continually change as I grow as a nutrition expert and learn new research, that’s the beauty of it.
