My journey into wholistic natural medicine began through my own lived experience.

Before becoming a practitioner, I spent more than 20 years in the corporate world. While it was a rewarding career, it was also demanding, and over time the constant pressure began to take its toll. Fatigue became exhaustion. Brain fog, anxiety, low mood and persistent insomnia gradually followed, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the vibrant health I once enjoyed.

Like many people, I initially turned to conventional approaches. When these offered limited relief, I began exploring natural ways to support my health. I focused on wholefood nutrition, clean water, high-quality supplements and herbs, and lifestyle changes – particularly learning to respect natural rhythms of light, dark, rest and recovery.

The changes were gradual, but profound.

A wise natural therapist suggested targeted functional testing, which revealed revealed signs of prolonged stress affecting my adrenal function, alongside digestive imbalances, including intestinal parasites and disrupted gut flora. With skilled guidance, I undertook a carefully paced, 12-month treatment program that focused on restoring balance rather than forcing outcomes. Over time, my energy, clarity and resilience returned.

That experience changed the course of my life.

More importantly, it changed the way I think about health. I came to appreciate that symptoms rarely exist in isolation. They are often the result of many interconnected influences, including nutrition, digestion, hormones, sleep, stress, movement and the environment. Helping people understand those connections and build strong foundations has shaped my work ever since.

Inspired by my own recovery, I went on to formally study natural medicine and became a practitioner in 2010. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many people in restoring their health using traditional and evidence-informed natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine.

While I deeply respect conventional medicine and regularly liaise with doctors and allied health professionals, I also see the enormous value in natural medicine – whether used alongside conventional care or on its own, depending on individual needs. I believe the most effective outcomes often come from integrating the best of both worlds.

In my clinical practice, I have a particular focus on:

• Gut Health and the Microbiome
• Women’s Hormonal Health (Perimenopause and Menopause)
• Circadian Health and Sleep
• Metabolic Health
• Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine

With a background in engineering, I naturally approach health through systems thinking and structured problem-solving. It’s one of the reasons some clients affectionately refer to me as their “Health Engineer.” I enjoy helping people connect the dots, make sense of complex health challenges and develop practical, achievable plans for lasting wellbeing.

Above all, I believe lasting wellbeing is built through care, respect and empathy, supported by science, clinical experience and genuine partnership. My role is to help you make sense of your symptoms, understand your body more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
