How do you create a sense of well-being at home?
It starts with simplicity - good food, clean spaces, natural light, and a daily
routine that feels grounding. I love rituals like herbal tea in the evening, red
light therapy, and prioritising sleep. Wellness isn’t just about big practices it’s about how you live daily.
Tell us about your juice collaboration with Field Trip Spa.
This collaboration was born from a shared love of real, functional
ingredients. We’ve created juices that not only taste good but support the
skin and body with powerful nutrients - whole food, no unnecessary sugars,
just pure, nourishing goodness.
You emphasise the importance of nourishing the skin from within.
How do you integrate whole food nutrition into your skincare
recommendations?
Skin health is built from the inside out. I focus on anti-inflammatory,
blood sugar-balancing foods that support collagen, hydration, and barrier
function. Think high-quality protein, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich
plants - your skincare should complement what you’re feeding your body,
not compensate for it.
“Microdosing wellness” is a concept you advocate for. Can you
elaborate on what this entails and provide examples of small changes
that can lead to significant improvements in well-being?
Wellness doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Microdosing wellness is about
layering small, impactful habits into your daily life. Things like morning
sunlight, hydration with minerals, deep breathing before meals, and
swapping ultra-processed foods for whole ingredients. These shifts, done
consistently, compound into lasting change.
With your busy schedule, how do you ensure consistency in your
personal wellness routines, and what are some non-negotiable
practices you adhere to daily?
I keep my non-negotiables simple: real food, blood sugar balance, daily
movement, and prioritising sleep. I don’t overcomplicate things - wellness is
about consistency, not perfection.
If people were to only make one change to their routine, what would
you suggest?
Prioritise protein and blood sugar balance. It stabilises energy, supports
hormones, and has a profound impact on skin, mood, and overall health.

What advice would you give to your younger self?
Trust the process. You don’t have to have it all figured out just focus on taking care of yourself, learning, and evolving.
Wellness isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about the long game.
