I found ways to support my health when mainstream healthcare could no longer help
I found my way into the world of natural health and nutrition through personal experiences that shaped my understanding of true healing, experiences that challenged conventional healthcare approaches and forced me to take matters into my own hands.
​
My journey began in childhood, when I faced puzzling symptoms such as regular nosebleeds, sudden skin rashes, panic attacks, chest pains, and cramping. These episodes came and went without explanation. By my twenties, they escalated. I experienced facial paralysis, tingling throughout my body, vision loss in one eye, recurring migraines, and debilitating panic attacks.
​
I was later diagnosed with optic neuritis and, later, multiple sclerosis, which i was told was an incurable condition that would require lifelong medication, this was the only solution that I was offered.
​
From this diagnosis i received:
-
No lifestyle advice
-
No nutritional support
-
No one asked about my sleep patterns, social activities, light environment, exercise habits or life stressors
​
Seeking alternatives, I consulted a naturopath who provided a further diagnosis of Lyme Disease. From this naturopath learned how to take care of myself with natural medicine, nutrition, supporting gut health, and detoxification. Slowly, my symptoms faded, and I experienced the kind of healing that mainstream medicine hadn’t offered.
​
Now in my late forties, I’ve maintained good health by recognising and managing triggers like stress, poor sleep, and nutrition and ensuring that a lot of my time is spent out in nature.
​
In 2019, my journey came full circle when my son fell gravely ill. Initially misdiagnosed with pneumonia, we later discovered he had been mis-diagnosed and he actually had a burst appendix that led to peritonitis and sepsis. His life was saved by skilled surgeons and medical intervention, but his recovery was gruelling.
A little known condition called Post-Sepsis Syndrome left him weak, traumatised, and struggling with symptoms that once again most healthcare providers couldn’t address. Dieticians and doctors had little knowledge of his condition, so I took charge once again. I examined the microbiome's role in recovery. I crafted a personalised approach using nutritional interventions, microbiome support, and emotional healing and six years later, my son is thriving.
​
My experiences have inspired me to continually learn and grow. I collaborate with global research groups, contribute to publications, and explore quantum biosciences which is a groundbreaking field that I’m passionate about teaching.
​
In my practice, I treat every individual as unique. I reject the “one-size-fits-all” approach to health. What works for one person may not work for another, and I believe in moving away from the quick fixes of pills or supplements preferring to coach my clients on how to tap into their own self healing abilities and the healing powers of natural interventions. I very much look forward to connecting with you. Yours in health
