Our Story

Having worked as a professional accountant for 17 years, I took the plunge in December 2023 and decided to take a career break.

I home-educate my two children, and with my eldest heading into secondary school, I knew I would struggle to manage work alongside his increasingly demanding schedule. Leaving my job gave me the time and space to realise I had so much more to give and even more to learn.

Nutrithrive has been a part of my life for over 10 years, even before I fully realised it. When I was expecting my first child, I instinctively knew I wanted to do everything in my power to nourish my unborn baby with all the goodness nature could provide. For me, that meant embarking on a journey back to my roots of raw milk, homemade ghee, and broth, lots of broth!

I realised very early in my pregnancy that my gut health would affect my baby, so all my food choices were based on optimising and diversifying my microbiome, avoiding inflammatory foods, and creating the right environment for my child. When my little boy was born, my natural motherly instincts were at an all-time high. I spent night after night researching holistic remedies for everything, from colic to constipation to fever!

At the same time, my mum was recovering from a hysterectomy at the age of 49, which meant I had to navigate those first few months largely on my own. Looking back, I think that’s what sent my protective instincts into overdrive.

The more I read, the more I realised that the answers lay with my ancestors, centuries of knowledge and cultural practices passed down through generations, from grandmothers to mothers to daughters. Now, 10 years later, with more time on my hands, I’ve decided to venture out and share what I’ve learnt in my kitchen over a decade of homesteading.

Nutrithrive is a small family business focused on gut health. With 70-80% of our immunity residing in the gut, we can ultimately prevent and even heal many diseases by restoring gut health.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but incorporating fermented foods alongside restorative, nutrient-dense ingredients with natural healing properties, ethically sourced and organic, is an essential step towards optimal gut health. The symbiosis created by combining probiotics and prebiotics ensures that our bodies function at their best, keeping disease at bay.

Join me in this revolution of gut health, let’s heal the dysbiosis together!
