Hi, my name is Cathy, the founder of the Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Centre. Here we focus on combining individualized nutrition with other complementary alternative wellness practices such as use of natural herbs and aromatherapy to holistically improve your overall health.

I was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya and developed a passion for food and nutrition through my previous life in hospitality and the F&B industry. At the time I was suffering from chronic gut issues and was experiencing a lot of acidity, bloating, lethargy and other diet related issues in my gut. This was due to poor diets, stressful working hours and even forgetting to eat! I was completely dependent on Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as Nexium, Eno and other acid reflux medications and had to take medicine every day to manage my conditions. As I ran my own restaurant back in 2016, i became more interested in learning about diets as I made healthy meal preps for various clients. This led me to discover the importance of healthy eating, personalized nutrition and its impact on weight and overall wellbeing.

 Around 2019, I became even more interested in holistic modalities as a path to healing and enrolled with the American College of Healthcare Sciences to pursue a Master’s of Science degree in Holistic nutrition. In that first year, I tried out many alternative therapies and immersed myself in holistic practices. I stopped taking all medication around the same time I graduated from the college – a year later – something I never thought would be possible. This journey from chronic pain to wellness led me to be very passionate about natural healing physically, emotionally and spiritually. I want to give people a platform to learn the concepts that helped me with my healing, so they too could go on to heal themselves and others.

Today, I still love learning about the different modalities – food, aromatherapy, meditation, movement etc – and how they all fit together. Day in, day out.
