Libby has worked in private consultancy with individuals, groups, companies, as well as universities and the media. She is a much sought after and passionate speaker covering a broad range of topics that leave her audiences well informed and uplifted.  

Libby completed her PhD examining biochemical and nutritional factors in children with autism, the outcomes of which have affected the way in which the condition is treated in Australia and now also in New Zealand.

It was through this work that Libby came to better understand the role various hormones play in influencing our body shape and size, our appetites, our responses to exercise and stress, clarity of thought, sleep patterns and a host of other behaviours.

Working in two of Australias leading health retreats, sharing these insights, Libby's concepts were often described as "life-changing". She reaches a broad range of people from business men and women and stay-at-home parents, to prominent sportspeople and Hollywood stars.

Her work includes seeing clients one-on-one,  designing menus and delivering dynamic, informative seminars that get to the heart of nutritional issues that have the potential to alter an individual's health future. Libby is the "Vitality" writer for Next magazine, contributes regularly to Fitness Life magazine and she is currently writing her first book.
