I am a qualified Naturopath and Remedial Massage therapist, whereby I use an array of health treatment modalities to support health, wellbeing and overall vitality. Based on the East Coast of Queensland, I call the beautiful Sunshine Coast home.

From a very young age I have always believed in the power of naturally sourced and created medicine on healing the body, rather than the use of synthetically made chemicals and medications that often mask the root cause of illness, aka the band aid effect. Still to this day, I believe this to my core.  Here’s my story.

My first love for natural medicine was Chinese medicine and acupuncture. After finishing school, I was certain that’s what I wanted to study, I was going to be called “Dr Slaughter”.  However, after going to an open day at Endeavour College I was drawn to western herbalism, it just made sense. 

In 2016 I completed my diploma in remedial massage therapy and started my own business working in a multi-modality clinic.  Through my university study at Endeavour College Adelaide, I worked part time as a remedial massage therapist. 

As many of you have likely experienced, I was made to believe my health issues were normal and was dismissed time and time again. “Everything looks normal, you seem to be in a good state of health” is what I heard from numerous doctors. Sound familiar? After countless visits and pleas of help, I requested to visit a specialist with the hope I would get some answers to my progressing health issues. At this point, my symptoms were no longer just physical. My condition was now affecting my mental health. Once again, the same story presented at the specialist, where they once again could not identify what my body was trying so hard to signal. I was prescribed a medication called methotrexate (an immunosuppressant and chemotherapy agent) and told I would need to be on it for years (or potentially the rest of my life) to control my symptoms. 

At the age of 22, being told I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life without any answers to the root cause of my symptoms was something I was not going to settle with. Alas my holistic health journey began. I needed someone to see my body and its systems as a whole and unveil the roadmap of my symptoms. I needed someone to make sense of what was going on. Naturopathy was my holy grail to receiving the answers I was seeking. The combination of naturopath and the integrative modality of health care they offer, along with Acupuncture and Bioresonance therapy, not only healed me, but optimised my health and wellbeing. I was Me again.    

I have always loved natural therapies and the earth’s ability to provide all that the body needs to heal and restore balance, but recovering from an illness utilising a holistic approach, where a lifelong medication wasn’t a part of the equation, only made my passion grow stronger and stronger. I could not wait to help others understand that they too could heal from illness and achieve optimal health. Having gone through my own health journey, I know what you are going through. I hold immense compassion for my patients understanding the roadmap to recovery they have embarked on. 

I am now living my dream helping people recover from illness and allowing them to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. I am beyond grateful to work in this modality of health and I get so excited to be able to support and empower both women and men on their health journey’s.
