Hi! I’m Fay… au fait.
Why ‘Fay au Fait’? Because it encapsulates neatly who I am. ‘Au fait’ in French means to have knowledge about something. It refers to my hunger to learn and develop myself, particularly in the areas of wellbeing and spirituality. The choice of a French expression came naturally to me as it is the language I grew up speaking. Then, there is a nice twang to ‘Fay au Fait’ and I am fond of symmetry and harmony - the features of balance!
Diversity is in my blood. I was born in Thailand, grew up in Belgium, and spent my working life in London, UK. I learnt five languages along the way. Flexibility, openness, and adaptation were vital skills I developed in order to survive and thrive. Not having firm roots and trying too hard to fit in, I lost a bit of who I am. Gasping for fulfilment, I overdid everything and for a long time. Only when I crashed and burnt did I accept that something had to change about the way I lived my life.
Today I am a bit wiser. As a certified nutritionist, naturopath, entrepreneur, and mother, my philosophy hinges on my personal journey of self-discovery, the knowledge I have accumulated over the years, and my experience as an ex-corporate communications consultant, ex-triathlon coach, long-term yoga practitioner, exercise enthusiast, and globe-trotter. My style is direct yet caring, authentic, and compationate.
I consider the body-mind as one system and this underpins my holistic and naturopathic approach to health. Working collaboratively with clients, I look to uncover the root causes of dis-ease and support the person’s journey back to health. I have a passion for good food, so nutritional therapy is my main but by no means my only tool. Lifestyle interventions, awareness practices, and practical solutions are also addressed in order to optimise clients’ health.
But what is health? To me health is much morethan being purely symptom free - it’s about having vibrant energy to carry out a positive, purposeful, and happy life. I wish this for all human beings.
