Having worked in the Health field for nearly 30 years, my goal and vision remain the same - to “align you with your natural state of wellbeing”. I believe absolute health and vitality is your natural state and my goal is to work together to achieve this.

Being the daughter of a Scientist father and Naturopath mother, my approach walks a middle road. Values I bring to my practice are Balance, Integrity and Practicality!

My experience in the Health field started in the Whole food industry where I managed a Whole food Health shop for a number of years and completed my Naturopathic Diploma. At the shop I got to see firsthand the enormous benefits herbs, supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes can make to someone’s health. I also became very interested in Massage as a therapy.

I later completed my Midwifery degree and spent 12 years working as a Midwife integrating Natural Therapies and Pregnancy Massage into my care with women. By 2009 it was time to leave Midwifery and return to my Naturopathic roots – my first love.

I have a wonderful husband and gorgeous son, who popped out just prior to my 40th birthday! When I'm not working you will find me tramping up a mountain top, immersed in my vegetable garden or orchard, or plunking out a tune on the ukulele.
