about

Welcome and hello..

When I was young we took herbal tonics, grew sprouts, raised chickens and drank goats milk. My aunt was a naturopath in the 70’s. As a little girl I believed this was how we all looked after our health.

When I qualified and worked in clinic as a Naturopath, now 22 years ago, I realised this wasn’t the case. Many patients thought this was alternative and there was confusion and distrust.  So I went on to study Medicine.

Fast forward through medical school, internship, residency. Hospital medicine, including surgery, emergency trauma, psychiatry, palliative care and into general practice – and a very different view of my world was formed.

I’ve dedicated my life to learning about wellness and how to re-establish balance and a sense of peace.  I’ve seen both sides of the health industry and they are both valid and valuable. The key is using the right parts of both together –  ‘functional integrative medicine’.
