Christine's journey into functional health began where the most powerful journeys often do—as a mother searching for answers for her son, Warner.

When Warner was young, his autism was extremely severe. He struggled with profound challenges, was non-verbal and, at one stage, required a protective helmet for his own safety. Like so many parents, Christine was told what her son might never achieve. Refusing to accept that as the end of his story, she immersed herself in understanding the underlying causes of his health and development.

Through years of dedication, learning and implementing personalised nutritional and functional health strategies, Christine witnessed remarkable improvements in Warner's health, behaviour, communication and development. Today, Warner attends a mainstream school—a milestone that once seemed unimaginable and one that stands as a testament to what can be possible when the body is supported from the inside out.

Inspired by her family's journey, Christine went on to qualify as a Health Coach specialising in autism and neurodevelopment. She also founded a successful gluten-free and dairy-free bakery, born from her own determination to provide nourishing, delicious foods that supported Warner's healing journey. This experience gave her an exceptional understanding of how to make therapeutic nutrition practical, achievable and enjoyable for families navigating similar challenges.

Christine has since completed almost a year of intensive training through The Happy Healthy Unicorn, developing advanced skills in functional nutrition, personalised dietary approaches and the practical implementation of Vicky Finlayson's clinical frameworks. She has a particular passion for creating individualised nutritional strategies that work for each child and family, recognising that no two healing journeys are ever the same.

Today, Christine works alongside Vicky in clinic, supporting families with compassion, empathy and hope. Her greatest strength lies in her lived experience. Having navigated one of the most complex autism journeys herself, she understands the emotional, practical and nutritional challenges families face at an incredibly deep level. Parents often find immense comfort in speaking with someone who has truly walked the path before them.

Christine brings together lived experience, professional training and genuine compassion, helping families feel understood, empowered and supported as they begin their own journey towards better health and brighter futures.
