Moi!

(Hello in Finnish)

I’m Laura and I am a nutritionist and soon to be dietitian in 2024!

I have been university educated on the sunny Gold Coast, and have attained Bachelor’s degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology. I have extended on my keen interest for the human body and mind, plus weaving in my love of food and cooking, with post-graduate studies in dietetics (no more uni after this okay… it’s been a big 8 years!!)

My passion lies in teaching you confidence in the kitchen and how to nourish yourself (and your family) with no hassle, nutritious food.

I believe everyone deserves to eat and enjoy food in a way that is balanced, nourishing and non- restrictive. So, you can expect to master super indulgent cakes alongside fresh and vibrant salads!

I have loved cooking and being in the kitchen from a young age, learning the ropes from my Mum and the other women in my family, who also love to cook. My Mum and Dad immigrated from Finland in the late 1960’s with their families, and they thankfully have instilled in me a strong pride for my Finnish heritage… including the food.

I hope to inspire others to explore their skills in the kitchen and to find joy in creating and cooking for themselves, whilst building on the foundations of a healthy and vibrant life.

With love ,

Laura
