Hi, I am a highly motivated and experienced health practitioner: I have had a successful private practice since 1996, additionally I have more than 30 years professional clinical experience in the healthcare industry.
I am a Registered General Nurse and professionally qualified as a Nutritional Therapist, Homeopath, Shamanic Practitioner and Aromatherapist; I have a wide range of skills with which to support my clients in achieving an optimal level of health, sense of well-being and vitality.

My own personal interest in Nutrition and complementary therapies first started whilst I was a student nurse. During this time I experienced health problems associated with severe allergy symptoms. I sought the support of an Aromatherapist to help alleviate my symptoms; she was the first person to suggest that the food I was eating might have some bearing on my health. As a result I made changes to my diet which had a significantly beneficial effect on not only my symptoms but my sense of well being and energy levels as well – my passion for complementary therapies was born!

One of the reasons I am so passionate about complementary therapies is that they not only encourage us to take some responsibility for our own health and well-being, but that they can help empower us to lead more fulfilling and rewarding lives as well.

My nursing background is in Occupational Health and Rehabilitation – I have a strong interest in health promotion and a personal philosophy that prevention is better than cure and that vibrant health is a result of nourishing our bodies and our minds and living our lives to the full.

Committed to ongoing education I have studied in depth and hold diplomas in Nutritional Medicine, Homeopathy, Therapeutic Shamanism, Aromatherapy and Therapeutic Massage. As part of my professional training I have also studied Flower Essences, the use of Complex Homeopathic Remedies and have a Certificate in Counselling skills.

I am a firm believer in empowering others by education, and work towards bringing the message of health, well being and healthy lifestyle to as wide an audience as possible.
With a background in Occupational Health Medicine I am confident and experienced in writing and delivering health promotion presentations within a corporate environment; I am also happy to be involved in corporate well-being days to help organisations promote health and well-being to their workforces.
