About Scotti

It was my own experience of burnout and depression that led to my discovery of how nutrition can be used to support both physical and mental health.  I used this inspiration to transition from humanitarian aid to Personalised Nutrition and Functional Medicine, aiming now for a revolution in resilience and vitality.

And my journey through peri-menopause has led to my dive deep into the science around the transition to menopause, particularly its effects on sleep and mood.  My BSc dissertation analysed the effects of estrogen on serotonin, essentially dissecting mood in (peri-) menopause.  Armed with this and further research and understanding, my aim is to help other women navigate this transition with ease and confidence.

For more information about how I work with mental health and menopause, follow the links to these pages.

Raised in Alaska, I lived a nomadic life until Geneva became home in 2010.
