I love working with people and feel so privileged to support people improve their health. I’m passionate about demystifying wellness jargon to simple regular habits.
I truly believe that good health can be simple and inexpensive once we get the basics right.
My background comes from working in the corporate world in Auckland and then London before I felt inspired to improve my own health and well-being. After working in London for 3 years in HR for a large financial institution, I felt burned out and my own health was suffering. Upon making my way back to AotearoaNew Zealand, I volunteered in a health retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland, working my way out of my own health issues. It was here that I decided to enrol in a Bachelor of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine.
I now run my own clinical practice where I see clients for a wide variety of ailments. I have a particular interest in working with burnout, fatigue, stress and disordered nervous systems, but have worked with clients with all manner of complaints or diagnoses. There are so many tools that naturopathic medicine can utilise to initiate healing and I get particularly excited when I work with a client who doesn’t have a specific problem but just wants to age in the best shape possible!
I also work part-time in the Herbal Dispensary at John’s Photo Pharmacy, a job that I love! I am in a position where I can meet and speak to a wide range of people and provide acute naturopathic advice.
When I’m not blending herbs and playing health-detective, I love a weekend market, spending time outdoors in nature and to my surprise I have begun to enjoy the gym. I love a good book but find starting one hard!
I am blessed with wonderful friends, family who are so important to me and a cute little pup who keeps me busy in the best way.
