Why I Do This Work
The answer is simple: I genuinely love helping people understand themselves more deeply.
What continues to inspire me is that every person has a unique story.
One of the things I love most about this work is that I never quite know what each day will bring. My clients and I often laugh about this.
A session may begin with one concern and uncover something entirely unexpected!
Health is rarely just about symptoms. It is shaped by our experiences, relationships, stress levels, environment, nutrition, beliefs and the way we move through the world.
Even after years of practice, I still find it rewarding to sit alongside people as they uncover new pieces of their health journey and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
My approach
Looking beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture of your health.
My approach combines the clinical foundations of naturopathy with the broader perspective of kinesiology and an ongoing interest in counselling and human behaviour.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I aim to understand the bigger picture.
For some people this may involve reviewing pathology results, exploring nutrition, supporting gut health or identifying factors contributing to fatigue, inflammation or hormonal changes.
For others, it may involve understanding the role that stress, emotions, life experiences or nervous system patterns are playing in their health.
I believe the mind and body are deeply interconnected. When we take the time to understand both, meaningful change often becomes possible.
My journey
I have always been fascinated by the intersection of science, health and human behaviour.
My interest in natural health began in my early twenties when I discovered how profoundly nutrition, herbs and lifestyle could influence overall wellbeing. That curiosity eventually led me into formal studies in naturopathy in both London and Brisbane, and later kinesiology and counselling in Brisbane.
Before entering clinical practice, I spent many years living overseas and working in demanding corporate environments, including consulting roles with organisations such as Deloitte. While that experience taught me a great deal, it also showed me firsthand how chronic stress, pressure and living out of alignment with ourselves can affect both physical and emotional health.
Like many people I meet in clinic, I spent periods of my own life operating in what I would now describe as survival mode. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for the importance of emotional wellbeing, self-awareness and nervous system regulation alongside physical health.
While living overseas, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). At the time, I worried about my future health and whether I would be able to have children. Through applying the principles of natural health and making meaningful lifestyle changes, I was able to restore my health and eventually become the mother of two wonderful children.
These experiences continue to shape the way I work today, with curiosity, compassion and a deep respect for each person’s individual journey.
Beyond the Clinic
When I’m not in clinic, you’ll usually find me studying counselling and clinical hypnotherapy, spending time with my husband and two children, learning new ways to make healthy eating practical and enjoyable, walking by the water around Sandgate, or exploring new ideas in health, psychology and human behaviour.
I remain endlessly curious about what helps people thrive, and that curiosity continues to shape both my personal life and my work.
