Inviting someone into your life to work with you on what and how you eat is a surprisingly intimate and powerful thing to do. Eating ethically is so important to me. What is so nice about working with Irina is that I am no longer wondering if I should be eating more of something or cancelling something out entirely. Now I'm beginning to understand how it is a cornerstone of what shapes my day and my health. It is really good to be held in this space by a professional who is able to help guide with clarity and empathy what works well with my lifestyle and my digestion. It's incredibly empowering to live into the idea that my body is there to guide and heal me. Even more wonderful is that what I need to eat to thrive I can find so easily on my back doorstep. I've made some really great changes in what and how I eat and I'm in love with the food that I get to put on my plate. I'm finding the more I listen deeply to my body the more I enjoy and am satisfied by what I am eating. What we eat is so fundamental but so easily discounted. It feels so right to remember this and to act on it. - Laura B.

I was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disease. As well as seeing a medical specialist I sought nutritional advice from Irina. I was a bit nervous about the drastic changes I may have to make to my diet, but my first consultation with Irina left me feeling excited about the yummy foods I would need to introduce or eat more of. It also felt like I would be able to incorporate it without too much of an adjustment into my household situation. My RA symptoms are stable and I have a renewed interest in food, thanks to Irina's encouragement and advice. - Sarah P.

Irina is a professional with a holistic approach to health. Organic food intake may not always be sufficient for optimal health - whether we are consuming hidden chemicals, accumulating metals or underestimating the effects of stress. Irina has an approachable character with an ability to listen to the concerns and expectations of clients, before implementing suitable changes. Unexplained weight gain (or loss), lethargy, lack of sleep or energy, need not be a part of anybody's reality - our systems are designed to thrive if we know how to optimise them! Give Irina a call if you, like me, need some fine-tuning! - Inessa S.

Irina is a wonderful, warm, smart and caring person and it translates into her work. She will listen and think and find the right approach for each client. - Alsu S.

Some months ago my gut was in a very bad state and most fibrous food just went straight through me. I was losing weight and it was very difficult to know what I could eat. A friend mentioned Irina so I went to see her. Her advice was very simple and wise, making a lot of sense to me. I tried it out and the results were amazing! Over 7-10 days my gut started to calm down, I stopped losing weight and my energy levels improved. Now, more than 3 months down the track, my gut is still good and I am able to eat a wider range of foods. I am so grateful to Irina for her wonderful work! - Pauline W.

I initially reached out to Irina because I was struggling with long-term gastrointestinal distress and central nervous system inflammation. I have only been working with her for a couple of months and there has already been a marked improvement in both of these symptoms. My intake assessment was thorough and I found Irina to be very knowledgeable with regard to the various toxicity issues underlying my difficulties, as well as the nutritional and detoxification practices that support healing from such conditions. She is also very kind and patient, and super generous with regard to sharing her time, knowledge and resources. If ever I have a question, she responds promptly and thoroughly by email, often linking me to a variety of resources, including websites, books, nutritional guidelines, and her own personal blog and recipe cards. She seems to genuinely want me to be well and has faith that I have the capacity to thrive, which is very encouraging for me after being sick for so long. I will continue to consult with her as I go deeper into this nutritional journey and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others. - Rebecca A.
