Road to practitioner

I have always been keenly interested in nutrition. I studied a Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Education through QUT and spent 18 years (and counting) teaching secondary students nutrition and how to cook. I have pursued further education completing an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition Medicine and an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy to deepen my understanding of nutrition and nature's bounty of remedies. It has opened a whole new world and impressed upon me the need to make every meal count towards better health and that given the right conditions the body can heal itself.

Partnering with my clients to empower them to take control of their health drives me. My passion for teaching and the rapport with students and patients is what makes getting up in the morning a new exciting and rewarding adventure.

MY BELIEFS

I believe that each one of us was designed uniquely by an intelligent mind and given a special purpose for our lives. For this reason, a one-size fits all approach is doomed. The complexity of our bodies, the amazing ability of our minds and spirit within each of us that shapes personality and sets an awareness of eternity in our hearts, means that the human being is not a machine or an accident in a test tube or pre-mordial slime. With this underlying belief I treat each person as an individual and their story matters to me. They have infinite value. It is my belief in God, the maker of Heaven and Earth that sets me apart from others in my field. It is my mission to treat with integrity those He brings into my care. I want health care to be affordable for all. May God's face shine upon you and grant you peace.

YOUR HEALTH MY SERVICES

Complementary Health Treatments

I’m a certified Naturopath and Nutritionist with professional membership with the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. I use a variety of screening and treatment services to tailor to specific goals and needs. I regard each patient as a whole, rather than an illness to be defeated. I believe in nurturing, rather than battling against the body. If you are ready to begin the first steps in taking ownership of your own health it would be my pleasure to be partnering with you on this empowered journey to enrich your life.

NUTRITIONAL ADVICE

We are what we eat. Supplying the body with the nutrients it craves can mean that it can perform vital healing and balance the metabolism. What this can mean is more energy, vitality, and regeneration.

I help patients make manageable adjustments to their diet to increase nutrient content. My philosophy is to add the good things in and slowly take the bad things out. With time clients feel better and take the bad choices out themselves when they don't feel good eating them anymore. I enjoy showing my patients how just a few adjustments can make a difference to their health.

NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE

If the body is supplied all the tools it needs then under the right conditions it can heal. Nutrient deficiencies leave the body weakened and unable to metabolise food for energy and repair. This often results in loss of vitality, compromised immune systems and under-active thyroid activity.

Unfortunately, our food supplied today is chemical ladened, picked too soon and stored too long. Therefore, even eating a healthy variety of fresh produce may still leave some nutrient deficiencies.

Utilizing reputable practitioner-only brands means quality products and quality input. The old adage is true - You get what you pay for. Cheap supermarket omega 3 and vitamins and minerals do not necessarily deliver all they promise so in essence you could be wasting your money.

Our treatment plans focus on a healthy well balance diet and supplement targeted nutritional products to correct deficiency associated with the condition or system weakness.

MINERAL THERAPY

Deficiencies in minerals show themselves as sign on the body. Assessment of nails, hair, tongue, eyes and skin can speak volumes about what is going on in the body. Simple mineral supplementation can replenish stores and provide opportunity for healing on many levels.

HERBAL MEDICINE

Working with high quality herbal products from companies that have stringent testing regimes gives me confidence that supplements are potent and effective. MediHerb provides optimum treatment solutions by combining time-honoured wisdom of traditional knowledge with sound clinical experience and scientific research.

Herbal supplementation is effective in reducing inflammation, pain relief, fighting infection and increasing energy to name a few.

There is choice in how herbs are taken. Herbal tinctures use alcohol to extract the complex chemicals from plants efficiently. Herbal tablets and capsules offer convenience and herbal teas are blended to meet specific individual requirements and provide a healthy alternative to coffee or black tea.

IRIDOLOGY

The study of the eye reveals a marvelous consistency in design, the anatomical order and the structure and function of this complex organ. It is said that the eye is a window to the soul and with the infinite range of variations and no two eyes the same each person's iris is unique. Our inheritance and experiences on life's journey can be read in the size, shape, colour, and textures for the structures in the eye.
We assess the colour and fibre structure variations to assess constitutional strength, emotional patterns, and screening for inherent individual predispositions and weaknesses. Having this knowledge helps to determine possible health problems earlier and gives the opportunity to prevent and maintain optimum health.
