I spent my career in rooms where reputation is everything.
Across some of the world's most recognised brands, including Net-a-Porter, Versace, Charlotte Tilbury, Jimmy Choo and Victoria's Secret, I built strategy for businesses where excellence was the baseline.
I sat at tables with billionaire founders, worked alongside women who were changing entire industries and understood from the inside what it means to operate at that level.
The precision and relentlessness required, and the constant calibration between how you feel and how you have to show up.
Those years shaped the way I think about everything.
Working at that level taught me to look beneath the obvious and ask what's really driving something, before deciding how to address it. This is the experience I bring to every woman I work with at Restora.
But what those years didn't come with was the knowledge of how to sustain myself and my body within them.
Our bodies pay the price.
Coming off the pill was the beginning of understanding how little I actually knew about my own hormonal health. My cycles didn't follow any textbook pattern, and again and again my results came back within normal range. I proactively decided to freeze my eggs, which forced a confrontation I wasn't ready for. Sitting with the information from my fertility consultations, I realised I had spent nearly two decades on medication that had managed my hormonal symptoms, and I had no genuine understanding of my own reproductive health.
This time, I went looking for root causes.
I rebuilt everything:
- I approached nutrition not through restriction, but with genuine understanding of what my body needed to function rather than what diet culture had spent decades telling me to fear.
- I addressed my gut systematically, understanding what had been damaged, restoring what had been depleted, repairing what years of dysfunction and a demanding lifestyle had compromised.
- I approached my toxic load by reassessing the chemicals in my environment, my personal care and my food in ways I had never thought to question.
- I rebuilt my nervous system by building practices that allowed my body to genuinely regulate rather than simply cope.
- I worked on my relationship with sleep, with recovery and with my own cycle, treating each as a source of information rather than an inconvenience to manage.
The transformation was a complete recalibration of how I understood my body and what it deserved.
