Healing Ray Nutrition
When we experience stress, a hormone called cortisol is released which can cause systemic inflammation when elevated for a long period of time, causing leaky gut in our gastrointestinal tract and symptoms such as bloating, altered bowel movements and food intolerances.
Our guts can also affect our minds. Inflammation from poor dietary choices, pollution, medications, smoking etc. can cause inflammation which negatively impacts our central nervous system and production of neurotransmitters that regulate our mood.

I grew up in the small town of Castlemaine in rural Victoria, before moving to Melbourne city to study nutrition at Endeavour College of Natural Health. The thing I love about studying and consulting nutrition is that it will never cease to challenge me. There is constantly new research and information coming out on the role of nutrition in health and disease, so being able to adapt treatments and hear new perspectives on the most recent research is what really sets nutrition apart from standardised treatment in supporting health and wellbeing.

Why I chose the name 'Healing Ray'
When I was 15 years old, my father Raymond, or Ray, passed away from bowel cancer. A brilliant chef that taught me how to cook and make tasty and wholesome food. The experience of his death is really what pushed me to pursue a career in health and nutrition. The knowledge I now have is something I wish my family and I understood when he was sick, but I hope to now inspire and educate others about the importance of our health and the role it can play in supporting our amazing lives.
