I began my career over 20 years ago as a research pathologist in the agricultural industry and, over a period of ten years, I developed a deep, first-hand understanding of the effect that pathogens and environmental toxins have on our food, our bodies and consequently, our health. However, despite my career experiences, it was ultimately my own health struggles that created my current path.
After years of being dismissed by medical doctors, I was fortunate enough to meet an amazing and talented Naturopath. As a result of our work together, I not only felt as though I was back in the world of the living – I was thriving! My experience with this Naturopath and the phenomenal results that we achieved together was the motivating force to begin my own journey into natural medicine.
Being a lifelong dog owner and currently meeting the demands of three French Bulldogs, two German Shepherds, a Rottwelier and a Burmese cat, I am as passionate about the health and wellbeing of our pets as I am about their owners. And it was this strong desire to see my own pets live their longest and best lives that led me to hours of personal research and additional study in the area of natural animal health and nutrition.
Given my strong scientific background, I continually strive to provide the most up-to-date and evidence-based information to my patients to ensure that I am providing you with the best care possible. My goal is to work with you to strengthen your body’s ability to heal.
I am a registered member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) and practice according to their professional Code of Conduct.
