A glimpse into my story

I initially studied Arts and Education at Monash University, which led me into a rewarding career in teaching, alongside pursuing a passion for singing and performing. However, ongoing health struggles eventually shifted my focus and caused me to reassess my path. As a teenager, I was drawn to spirituality, influenced by teachers like Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer, and supported by my aunt, a Reiki master. It was through these influences that Reiki and spirituality became a central part of my own healing journey.

In my mid-20s, I became a Reiki Master-Teacher and began offering energy healing while continuing my part-time teaching career. As I worked with Reiki clients, I noticed recurring health issues that I felt could be better addressed through naturopathic treatments. Growing up, my family had great success using naturopathy to manage physical health concerns, which sparked my early interest in the field. My uncle, who became a naturopath when I was a teenager, also inspired me with his passion for the naturopathic approach. Listening to him share his knowledge further deepened my curiosity about holistic healing. Over time, as I evolved in my Reiki practice, I realised I wanted to offer a more comprehensive approach to healing, which ultimately led me to pursue a degree in naturopathy.

Studying for a second degree was a far greater challenge as this time around I juggled motherhood, running a household, work, and my studies. Yet, my passion for healing kept me focused and determined. Naturopathy has since brought me a profound sense of peace and fulfilment, and today, my greatest joy comes from guiding others on their own healing journeys, helping them find balance and wellness along the way.

My Health Journey and Its Impact on My Practice

My journey with health struggles has profoundly shaped my career as a naturopath. These experiences taught me the value of holistic, individualised approaches to wellness. Through diet, lifestyle changes, and natural remedies, I was able to restore my health and recognise that healing extends beyond the physical. It involves addressing emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances, all of which are essential for long-term well-being.

Naturopathy has played a pivotal role in managing my sensitivities as a patient. Conventional treatments often left me feeling worse, while natural remedies required a more tailored approach. Over the years, I have navigated several invisible illnesses, including CFS/Fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, leaky gut, SIBO, and chronic Lyme disease—conditions that, while not always visible, require careful management to function day to day. The road has been challenging, often feeling misunderstood by conventional medicine, but it has also led me to a deeper understanding of how to support both myself and others.

These experiences have driven me to help others find personalised solutions to their health struggles. As someone with heightened sensitivities, I have developed a unique ability to connect with individuals facing similar challenges, and I see this sensitivity as a strength. It allows me to offer deeply personalised care and creative solutions tailored to each person's unique healing process.

For sensitive individuals, I often adopt a “less is more” approach, focusing on gently toning the body and supporting its natural ability to restore balance. Healing is not about quick fixes but rather about sustainable, gradual improvements. As a practitioner, I combine a range of modalities to provide a holistic approach to healing, working collaboratively with my patients to help them feel balanced and well again.
