Cheryl Telfer is a multi-discipline creative, wellness advocate and currently is training to be a certified holistic nutritionist.

At the beginning of 2020, Cheryl left a career in the broadcast media and advertising industry to focus on sharing her knowledge and passion for holistic health and nutrition with the world. She has since hosted free nutrition talks and corporate workshops to share some invaluable insights into how the holistic approach to nutrition can benefit us all. She also creates wellness content and shares nutritious recipes on social media, as well as writing content for the Wellnotes newsletter.

Having experienced issues with her health due to a chronic genetic condition called Sickle Cell Anaemia, Cheryl decided to become more responsible for her health and wellbeing on a day-to-day basis. Public healthcare helped her survive, but it's self-care that has helped her thrive!

She is a proponent for the idea that food is medicine, as traditional practices like Ayurveda, Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbalism has benefited people, modern and indigenous, and the scientific research around this is growing. She also believes there is a place for western medicine in the equation. The holistic approach is about tuning into our bodies and finding balance. That might mean taking the necessary medication, as well as eating a nourishing diet right for your personal needs.
