About me
I'm grounded in physiology, mind & body, not quick fixes.
I'm a clinical nutritionist and naturopath with a strong focus on digestive and neurological health, hormonal balances and complex multi-system presentations.
Bio
I take the whole picture seriously.
My work centres on understanding how the brain and nervous system interact with hormones, metabolism, gut health, and cardiovascular function over time.
I'm particularly drawn to cases where symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Brain fog, cognitive fatigue, emotional dysregulation, poor stress tolerance, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload often sit alongside hormonal imbalance, digestive dysfunction, inflammatory patterns, or long-standing health concerns.
Rather than treating these in isolation, I look for the underlying connections driving the whole picture, working methodically, and always with an eye on long-term function.
Roots
A family symbol, carried forward.
Vesna (весна) is the Russian word for spring, for renewal, and for things coming back to life.
It's also where my relationship with plant medicine began. Long before I trained clinically, my father taught me about, traditional food, herbs and the old family remedies back home in Russia. The pomegranate was one of his, a fruit he gave the family to keep them well, and it's the reason it sits at the heart of the Vesna Living mark today.
My practice carries that lineage forward: traditional plant knowledge, held to modern clinical standards.

Practice values
Whole-person, always.
Symptoms rarely travel alone. I treat the picture, not the fragment.
Physiology before quick fixes.
Stability, safety, and long-term function come first.
Individualised, and paced to you.
Two people with the same label can need entirely different plans.
