Life has dealt me some very big challenges; however, it has also bestowed on me unbelievable blessings.
It was not until I reached a very low point in my life that I started to become a driver of my own destiny. With three small children and the support of a loving extended family I started a degree at university with a view to becoming a Dietician.
At the end of my Bachelor of Health Science degree I met with the difficult decision of choosing Dietetics, Pharmacy or Dentistry as a career path. I will be forever grateful to one of my lecturers who took me aside and said that a career in the mainstream medical profession would never be fulfilling enough for me. He told me it was a numbers game, and I would not be able to provide the level of personal care that was part of my nature.
With these words resonating in my head and heart I started to look further afield to find a career path that would be better suited to me. This led me to Naturopathy and from the first moment I knew this was the right path for me.
I loved the blend of scientific principles and natural therapies and over 19 years later I still meld these two concepts in my everyday practice.
I have continued my life education and bring these experiences into my practice and understanding of my clients on a physical, mental and emotional level. I love to educate and empower people to drive their own health.
My long-term goal is to never stop learning and evolving in my understanding of the challenges that face us all throughout our lives.
