My Story
I was born with an innate desire to help and support others. This was expressed from a young age as the intention to become a doctor, with all of my studies and extra-curricular activities geared towards this career. However, at 14 years old after my own experience with chronic ill health and ineffective conventional treatment, I was introduced to natural medicine and it felt like everything clicked into place and I had found my calling.
Naturally, life had other ideas and sent me off on various other paths both in New Zealand (my home country) and across the world beforehand to equip me with valuable life experience that I feel enables me to connect with, understand and empathize with people from many walks of life. Through this time I did introductory courses in complementary therapies and also started a diploma in naturopathy in London in my early twenties. Alas, the timing was not right and off I continued on my global adventures.
Finally, in my early thirties after traveling the world (and two careers in fast-paced, demanding work environments…), the stars aligned and I went back to finish my studies at Endeavour College in Sydney, undergoing a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy.
This qualification included comprehensive study of nutrition, herbal medicine, energetic medicine and psychology as well as biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology to substantially equip us with the knowledge and critical thinking to forge successful careers in this industry. With the foundations of traditional healing wisdom and philosophy alongside scientific research and empirical evidence from industry leaders, I have a well-rounded, extensive knowledge to provide individualized holistic healthcare to my clients.
After a long and colourful road to get to this destination it is a huge honour and privilege, and extremely fulfilling, to support and hold space for others to achieve greater health and wellbeing and lead joyful, balanced, fulfilling lives.
