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. Over time, I realized that many of my clients needed more than Reiki could provide. Growing up, my family primarily sought naturopathy for physical health support, and my uncle eventually became a naturopath, which sparked my own interest in the field. As I worked with Reiki clients, I noticed recurring health issues that I felt could be better addressed through naturopathic treatments. This deepened my calling to pursue a degree in naturopathy, believing it would allow me to offer a more comprehensive approach to healing.

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 personal health struggles have been the driving force behind my career. These challenges taught me the importance of seeking holistic, individualised solutions. Through diet, lifestyle changes, and natural remedies, I regained my health and realised that healing goes beyond the physical; it’s about addressing emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances as well. This journey has brought me peace, and now, when challenges arise, I know how to support myself.

Naturopathy has been invaluable in helping me manage my sensitivities as a patient. Many conventional medical treatments made me feel worse, and even natural remedies required me to take a tailored approach. Over the years, I’ve been diagnosed with several invisible illnesses, including CFS/Fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, leaky gut/dysbiosis, SIBO, and chronic Lyme disease. These are conditions where everything may appear fine on the surface, but beneath it, you’re struggling with a range of symptoms that require careful management just to function. It’s been a long and often misunderstood road, as I’ve frequently felt dismissed by traditional medical professionals.

Having experienced these challenges firsthand, I’m deeply motivated to help others find their own answers to their health struggles. My journey as a patient has profoundly shaped how I approach healing with my clients.

As a "sensitive patient" I’ve developed a unique ability to connect with others who share similar sensitivities. I’ve learned to embrace these heightened responses to stimuli as a strength, rather than a limitation. This sensitivity enables me to understand my clients on a deeper level and create personalised, creative solutions for their healing.

For sensitive individuals, I often take a "less is more" approach, understanding that healing is unique to each person. Sometimes, the focus is on gently tonifying the body to support its natural ability to restore balance, rather than seeking quick fixes or immediate results. As a practitioner, I aim to integrate a variety of modalities to offer a truly holistic approach to healing.

If my story resonates with you, I would love the opportunity to work together and support you in achieving your health and wellness goals.
