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 have worked in a range of allied health and natural health clinics as a Remedial Massage therapist, then later as a Sports Myotherapist, since 2014. I have been operating my own business in South-East Queensland since 2015.
In 1998, I began to lose my vision, caused by a rare genetic juvinille disease called Stargardt’s Disorder, also known as Macular Degeneration/Dystrophy. During my highschool years, I competed with Riding for the Disabled Association Australia, winning NSW State Dressage Champion in 2002 and 2003.
By the time I was fifteen, I was legally blind, but was blessed to receive my first Guide Dog, Hector in 2005 when I finished highschool. As a result, I became more active in ParaSports Australia, training in a rowing squad in Penrith to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. Although our squad was not selected, the experience was invaluable.
In 2013 I started my jouney to become a massage therapist, obtaining my Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2014, then my Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in 2015. I love helping people reach their health goals, and giving people back their quality oflife so that they can do the things they love and enjoy, pain free.
I have worked with elite athletes, including members of the Australian Olympic Swim Team, members of the mens and women’s Australian National Rowing Team, National Champion and competitive Powerlifters, semi-professional cyclists, runners, AFL/QAFL players, and weekend warriors alike.

I arrived here in the beautiful Whitsundays in 1977, straight out of high school, and I have enjoyed working within the local community for the last 40 years.
I actively promote Traditional Bush Medicine & I am the local rep for “BushFoods with Benefits”. “Gumby Gumby”, which is the aboriginal name meaning ‘Medicine Tree’, has been used and shared successfully over thousands of years of songlines.
I’m very excited to be a part of the Kissun Clinics team! Mixing Bookkeeping and Natural Health is a job made in heaven!

With a background in midwifery, nursing and health science studies, I bring knowledge and experience from the medical model and merge it with alternative therapies and continuity of care to create individualised support services to women and their families.
I believe in using a holistic approach to women’s wellness, supported by the latest research and evidence as well as the intrinsic knowledge passed down through generations of birthing women and those who support them.
I pride myself on my commitment to honouring women and their families as well as my own lifelong growth and learning. The Whitsundays is my home, where I grew up and where I am now raising my own family.
