Adult acne, food rules, and a life on pause
Does this sound familiar?
-
Your acne flares before your period and you’re sick of relying on makeup, filters and carefully chosen lighting.
-
You catch yourself mirror‑checking, editing photos or avoiding cameras and Zoom calls on bad skin days.
-
You’ve quietly built up a list of fear foods and rules because you’re scared certain foods will make your acne worse.
-
Your bloating, pain or bathroom habits make you plan life around your gut instead of your diary.
-
You’re juggling work, home and hormones and feel exhausted before you’ve even opened your emails.
The effects of acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea can be devastating to your well-being. It's incredibly frustrating when treatments only work while you are using them, and your skin rebels the moment you stop. It chips away at your confidence at work, in photos and on Zoom, far more than people realise. ​​​And when you feel you have to control every mouthful, just to keep your skin in check, it can be completely soul-destroying.

I know exactly how this feels
​
I kept makeup by my bed so my partner never saw my bare skin when he woke up. I covered spots in toothpaste every night because that's what you did then. I'd avoid anything involving a swimming pool or a gym class. Not because I didn't want to go, but because sweat meant makeup coming off, and that felt catastrophic.
​
I spent most of my twenties with painful hormonal acne, and most of that time trying to manage it from the outside - with products, rules, and things I was terrified to eat. None of it got to the root of what was going on. It wasn't until I understood what was actually happening inside my body - my gut, my hormones, my mineral levels - that my skin finally cleared. And with it, my energy, my periods, and that low, flat mood I'd assumed was just normal.
​
That's what I help other women find. Not a protocol or a list of fear foods. But a deep understanding of what their body needs, and a plan that fits around their actual life.

My Approach
Your skin is telling you something. Most approaches try to quieten it. I work out what it's actually saying.
Everything I do is built around the IRIS Method - a four-phase framework that takes you from exhausted and guessing to genuinely understanding your own body. We investigate properly, using functional testing where it adds real clarity. We restore what's under strain. We integrate changes that fit your actual life. And we make sure it lasts.
