I always knew my life’s work would be dedicated to healthcare. As a child I would walk around the dining room table massaging the shoulders of my aunts and uncles. If anyone in my family fell ill I’d feel compelled to help. Following a work place accident my father sustained severe physical injuries and suffered from depression and anxiety due to the trauma. Dad depended on weekly Acupuncture sessions which helped him sleep better, reduced his symptoms of anxiety and depression, and he physically felt better for the days following.
Intrigue and curiosity lead me to study medicine and focus on human anatomy and physiology, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and nutrition. 18 years of professional practice have enabled me to combine both eastern and western methods and techniques to practice holistically in Thailand, USA, Melbourne and now Queensland. I’ve proudly worked alongside GP’s, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Massage Therapists, Naturopaths and managed a detox wellness retreat.
My interests include Fertility and IVF support, Sciatica and back pain, headache and migraine, depression and anxiety, alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
I love and live by the adage that “Health and happiness is all that matters”.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy in 2009 in the UK at the European School of Osteopathy.
However I originally began my studies in Science and Sport and Exercise Science and it was whilst studying this a student on the course had mentioned that she was seeking treatment at a nearby Osteopathic School for a whiplash injury she had sustained after a motor vehicle accident. This inspired me to change my course of study as not only could I study the anatomy and physiology, which has always been a passion of mine, but it would allow me to treat and help resolve individuals pains, be that a chronic or acute condition.
My further studies have included Rehab Essentials and Master Rehab courses which I completed in Kuala Lumpur and dry needling in London. I recently completed a course in Visceral Osteopathy which is a modality of treatment that allows you to diagnose and treat viscera (organs). The following conditions respond very well to visceral manipulations in combination with other osteopathic techniques: Period pain, constipation, bloating, IBS, breathing disorders and pelvic pain.
The techniques I like to use are soft tissue techniques to release the muscles in preparation for any manipulations that maybe required, myofascial release, Cranial Sacral Therapy and articulatory techniques. I treat all age ranges, including pregnant ladies, newborns and enjoy the challenge of resolving my patients complaints.

- Hair Mineral Analysis
A life-long allure to the natural world paired with a desire to help others sparked my interest in natural healthcare and led me to study naturopathy, which I completed in January 2018.
My main focus is to work with clients in achieving optimal health by getting to the root of the cause of your health concerns while alleviating unpleasant symptoms throughout the process. Treatment may include dietary advice, practitioner strength nutritional supplementation, individualised herbal formulas or other non-invasive techniques to improve health in a safe, effective and practical way. Holding space to allow for positive change in your life while focusing on the importance of valuing yourself is a huge aspect of working with you in a consultation.
I have a strong interest in evidence-based natural medicine, iridology, functional pathology and gaining a deeper understanding of the human body and achieving balance within all of its complexity

As a practitioner, specialising in nutrition and food based medicine, I am passionate about focusing on each client’s individual needs and how I can help them succeed everyday, fuelling their body with purpose.
I believe that we are all individuals with personal health and wellness journeys and that one plan does not fit all, instead I customise my recommendations to each client individually.
Whether your intention is to lose weight, sleep better, have more energy, improve immunity, address health concerns or learning to adapt to excluding intolerances from your day to day diet, I will sit with each client, offering guidance and support to fit their needs and adapt a meal plan that will suit their lifestyle.

I have always held a strong interest in all things health and fitness and this lead me to complete my yoga teacher and personal training qualifications. Since commencing employment at the clinic in 2013 I have developed a strong interest and appreciation for the healing powers of natural medicine. I enjoy helping other to achieve their maximum state of health and wellness and watching their transformation inside and out.
Outside of work I enjoy daily walks around the Whitsundays and practicing and teaching yoga. I think it is of the utmost importance to nurture your body through daily movement, quality nutrition, adequate rest and doing something you love everyday. If you look after yourself first everything else will blossom.

I have always had a keen interest in health & fitness for myself, family and others around me. Starting with Kissun Clinics in March 2018 has enabled me to further my personal knowledge into helping others. I believe it is very important to have a healthy balance in life including the food we eat, the way we live, our mental status and our fitness. Growing up outdoors on a farm I have always been a very active person who enjoys gardening and growing my own produce. Enjoying the fresh air of the outdoors to keep a healthy active lifestyle is of high importance in one’s life!
