About me

​​

​I live in Papamoa, Tauranga, with my husband, daughter and my dog, Banjo.

My two older boys live in Brisbane, studying and working there.

​

I am Australian, originally from Melbourne.

I was fortunate enough to spend 25 years living in Hong Kong,

which certainly expanded my view of the world.

I moved to New Zealand at the start of 2023 and

I am loving the natural beauty of New Zealand and the people.

​

Spending time with family and friends, enjoying a good meal and

one another's company is an important part of my life, 

as well as occasionally curling up with a good book.

​

I love spending time in nature; hiking, cycling and walking my dog, 

helping me feel balanced and calm.

I also practice yoga and pilates regularly, assisting me to feel strong, healthy and grounded.

​

I am passionate about working with individuals to assist them on their unique journey to wellness.

Following a career as a yoga therapist and yoga teacher,

the benefit of holistic health for treating the individual became apparent.

It inspired me to undertake naturopathic training at Endeavour College of Health in Brisbane, Australia.

I now incorporate yogic philosophy into my Naturopathic health practice.

​

My own perimenopause journey started with an unexpected moment at the traffic lights,

where a wave of  unexpected anxiety washed over me.

It was such a shock and scary at the same time. 

I remember thinking, "what the heck is happening to me?"

My journey progressed to feelings of exhaustion all the time,

waking during the night and my weight was steadily increasing with my age.

I was moody, snapping at my loved ones for no particular reason

and I just wanted to hide from the world.  

​

I believe that people can experience difficult challenges in their lives,

that can be eased through a holistic approach.

Achieving a balance through diet, lifestyle, natural herbs and supplements.

I personally have used these approaches to nurture my body through perimenopause,

easing my symptoms and improving my overall well-being.

​

I am a degree qualified Naturopath BHSc(Nat), Metabolic Balance practitioner

& experienced Yoga Therapist and 

Naturopathy and holistic health is not just a profession for me; it's a passion.

​

I believe at each step of life's journey wellness can be reached. 

Start your journey to wellness now!
