Hi I'm Hannah. I have two rambunctious little boys and an incredible husband, I'm a designer and artist, and I'm the food enthusiast behind Nourish Me Free. I started Nourish Me Free as a way to merge my journey with autoimmunity and my passion for a balanced and holistic healing approach to life. Through sharing my nourishing recipes as I navigate the autoimmune protocol diet (AIP), I hope that you may be empowered on your health journey too.

​

I have always prioritised my health. I am an avid runner, lover of skateboarding, a seeker of the outdoors, a health conscious eater who rarely ate processed foods and was predominantly plant-based, so in my mind I was very healthy.

 

Following a worsening cold that I couldn't shake after five months, I gradually struggled to get out of bed due to exhaustion, joint pain and stiffness. I became acutely aware that I was not well. Living what I considered was a very healthy life, my diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis came as a surprise.

​

 I initially controlled my disease through medication, but the struggle with the numerous side effects became detrimental to other areas of my health. With the support of my doctors I engaged the help of a qualified nutritionist, and I am now managing to control my disease through diet, sleep and less stress. This may change at any time and medication may be the best option at that time, but knowing I can support my health naturally is an empowering thing and something I have much gratitude for.
