My Roots

I grew up in a French-style bakery with a mother who was a passionate pastry chef. I'd wake up to the smell of freshly baked baguettes and arrive home from school to a slice of tarte au citron. Later I also spent 15 years working as a chef in some of London's most celebrated restaurants. Myself, my partner and two children now live on the edge of Lake Geneva surrounded – and inspired – by the fresh air and mountains of Switzerland.

As a teenager and young adult I spent time in and out of hospital, dealing with Crohn’s (an inflammatory disease of the digestive system). This made me keenly aware of the importance of diet and the effects of different foods on the body. I saw how boosting the health of my gut microbiome through a mostly whole food plant-based and raw-juice diet, was the most effective way to enhance overall strength and wellbeing.

The trillions of microbes in our gut play an important role in digesting food and producing a number of chemicals vital for a strong immune system. I believe that diversity, both in the food we eat and the microbes we feed is the key. The greater the number of different types of microbe the healthier we can be. This microbial diversity is achieved by eating a wide array of real and fermented foods.

How it Grew

Creating raw juice that tastes fantastic is really satisfying. Getting a fussy four year old drinking vivid green juice, packed to the rafters with nutrients, feels like a massive win. And when friends and family keep coming back for more, you know you’re doing something right!

This is how Wellbeing Tonics has evolved. I started providing fresh, raw juices locally around Geneva and as word spread, the business grew.

My goal is to make healthy living achievable. That's why I deliver Gut Reset packages – juices, soups, nut mylks and broths – to your home. I bring you everything you need and will be available to give you support through the process. 

I don't push a strict regimen to achieve a level of health. I believe that every individual is different and what works for one person may not work for you, so feel free to get in touch to talk about your specific requirements.

My Values

Treading lightly and lovingly on the planet is important to me. I consume mindfully and want to give people the option to do the same.  

Wellbeing Tonics uses organic produce, allowing me to maximise the nutrient content and avoid common pesticides and toxins. It also helps to support farmers who choose healthier methods of farming for the planet and for us. Organic fruits and vegetables taste better and have consistently been shown to contain higher amounts of vitamins and minerals than non-organic produce.  

I make everything to order and deliver in glassware that is collected and sanitised to be used again and again, with the aim of minimising waste.
