Meet Dr. Jeanette

My career began in an unexpected place: the world of fine art. While studying at Elam School of Fine Arts, I discovered a fascination with food as art, which led me to cake decorating and eventually working in a renowned German cake shop in London, crafting cakes for celebrity clients. But something didn’t feel right. Although I was surrounded by delicious food, I was working gruelling 16-hour days, and the burnout started to creep in.

I also began experiencing health issues, including weight loss and digestive symptoms, and found myself overwhelmed by conflicting advice in the media. Seeking clarity, I decided to see a dietitian. With their guidance, I was able to resolve my health challenges—and this experience inspired me to pursue a new career path.

So…returning to New Zealand, I retrained as a dietitian, so that I could blend creativity with a passion for health and nutrition. Even then, burnout tendencies followed. Through my PhD and postdoctoral work, I focused on helping young families eat more vegetables, while also coaching academics to bring their research to life. I later launched a baby food company and found myself grappling with the pressures of business ownership.

It wasn’t until training as a meditation and breathwork teacher in India and investing in my own business coach that I truly understood the key to resilience: ENERGY. I learnt that energy is never destroyed and all we have to do it access it.

Here I am—tapping into my energy and inspiring others to do the same alongside me.

Why Work with Leaders? Over time, I’ve witnessed the toll that leadership takes on energy, health, and well-being—not only in others but in myself. My clients are high-achieving professionals who want to feel vibrant and resilient without giving up their drive to excel or the enjoyment of good food. I’m passionate about helping people build sustainable strength from within, using simple yet powerful nutrition and wellness strategies to cultivate a fulfilling life.

Beyond Coaching. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me at my farm in Glorit with my two cats, diving into health podcasts, making art, or practicing the handpan. This balance is hard-earned, and it’s something I’m dedicated to helping others achieve.

My Mission - To empower CEOs and leaders to unlock their energy with personalized nutrition and wellness habits—so they can thrive in their success and keep doing what they love.

If you’re ready to redefine success with a focus on well-being, I’m here to help you get there.
