If that isn’t enough to fill her time, she's also inspiring people around the world with her healthy recipes that are both nutritious and delicious via her Instagram (@healthyalways). Having spent the end of 2018 at the renowned cooking school, Le Cordon Bleu in London, her recipes and meal ideas are a gastronomic delight...and we think she's pretty sweet too.

How do you maintain balance when life gets busy?

Ha, still learning - always learning! I really do think it's paramount though, as life demands can get pretty full for us all and we need to safe-guard time to just be. I have been the type in the past to embody 'frazzled' when not careful, but I have found a few things that have really helped stop me. Technology boundaries are key - switching off emails and mobile usage at a certain time each night, and not rolling over in the morning and reaching for the phone first thing. I rely a lot on movement as a hear clearer - walking is one of my favourite ways to unwind, and a good way to mull over an issue/problem/spark creativity. Finally, carving out time frequently to either do something you love, or something you haven't done before! It's fun, and a nice way to unwind, and connect with yourself and others. 

What does a typical day look like for you? 

Most days are a little different! If I am working in nutrition practice at our clinic Feel Fresh Nutrition, I might be researching cases, seeing clients, writing up meal plans, or on emails organising workshops or corporate wellness events. If I am working in my community job, I'd typically be conducting family-style nutrition consultations, preparing resources, or managing our organic community gardening and cooking program which runs three afternoons across the week (we just harvested honey from our bees!). Around this, I run a health and wellness blog where I create recipe ideas and write on topics on health, usually inspired by conversations with clients - it's my creative outlet. Through this medium I sometimes collaborate with companies online and in the community on different projects, whether through resource creation, seminars or nutrition services. Together, it can all get a little busy at times, but I love, love, love it all, and wake up excited for work. 

What are your top three wellness tips for healthy hair? 

I am no guru at all, but what I have found has worked for my frizzy temperamental hair is to not brush it when it's wet as this can cause breakages, to only use heat when I really need too (trying to embrace au naturel after my GHD addition as a tween), and rinsing with cold water after a shower to seal in moisture. Am I allowed one more tip? Nutrition-wise, eating foods rich in hair-loving nutrients - like protein, omega-3's, biotin, antioxidants, and zinc - all help, as we're supplying our hair with what it needs to function at its best. I find a diet rich in whole natural foods not only helps my hair look it's best, but everything else too - skin, energy levels, sleep - you name it. 

What is a non-negotiable for you when it comes to health? 

Every single morning, without fail, I wake up and walk to the kitchen and drink a huge glass of water - maybe two. It perks me up straight away and wakes me up better than any cup of coffee ever has (and I love coffee!). When we wake up we're naturally dehydrated, and re hydrating can make a big difference to concentration, energy levels, skin and so much more, going into the morning. Try it! A game changer. 

What do you love about COMB?

I care about the ingredients in the products I use, and love that COMB has been formulated with effective, yet pure and natural, ingredients. Since using it my hair is more hydrated, but with no oily-feel or residue. I'm prone to frizzies, but thankfully COMB knows how to keep them at bay. It smells amazing too - it's reminiscent of holidaying in Italy!
