My Story

I’m Viki Garbett – a qualified Nutrition and Culinary Medicine Coach, Menopause qualified, and Mental Health First Aider based in Sheffield. But my journey to this work was anything but straightforward.

Born in Hungary, I moved to the UK at age 20 and built a career in anti-money laundering compliance at DLA Piper, eventually leading an international team across 15 years. I was proud of what I’d built but my body was telling a different story. IBS, tinnitus, spondylosis: diagnoses that arrived after years of corporate stress and a life lived in fast-forward.

In 2017, everything shifted. A suspicious lump (later found to be benign) and the loss of my father-in-law to cancer forced me to stop and truly look at how I was living. As a mother of two daughters, Annabel and Mia, I knew something had to change. Not just for me, but for them.

I began re-qualifying through Dale Pinnock’s International School of Nutritional Medicine, discovering a framework that made sense of everything: that what we eat isn’t just fuel – it’s medicine. I launched Twiddle as a side project in spring 2019, quietly building something that felt more like a calling than a business. In 2023, I left corporate life for good.

Today, my mission is simple: to help organisations look after their staff, so that they can tune into their body more, become healthier and happier. Whether that’s through a cooking class, a 1:1 coaching programme, or a menopause workshop – there is a seat for you at The Wellbeing Table.

My approach brings together everything I have learned throughout my career, from leading teams in the corporate world to supporting people through food, nutrition and wellbeing. I believe small, sustainable changes can create a lasting impact, and I love helping individuals and organisations discover practical ways to feel healthier, more connected and more confident.
