My Journey into Natural Medicine
My journey into natural medicine began with my own health story. After returning from living overseas in 2010, I was seeking support for ongoing digestive and hormonal concerns. When I couldn’t find the care I needed, I felt inspired to learn more—first to help myself, and then to support others. This led me to complete my Bachelor of Natural Medicine at South Pacific College of Natural Medicine.
While working with clients in a naturopathic setting, I discovered how deeply connected the brain, movement, and nervous system are to overall health. This inspired me to further my training through the Melillo Method.
I now combine naturopathic and functional medicine approaches with brain- and movement-based strategies and manual muscle testing to understand what the body is prioritising for healing. This may include:
Nutritional and supplemental support
Addressing toxin and chemical stress
Neurological and movement-based therapies
Supporting structural balance
Gently helping release stored emotional or energetic patterns
Everything is guided by each person’s unique needs. This integrative approach allows me to meet you and your family where you are, supporting healing in a way that feels safe, personalised, and empowering.
Why I Do This Work
I do this work to support individuals and families who are ready to take meaningful, positive steps toward better health. I love working with people who are curious, open, and motivated to make changes that truly align with who they are and the life they want to live.
Being invited into someone’s health journey is a privilege. I feel deeply grateful to walk alongside people as they grow in confidence, build resilience, and begin to thrive. Supporting children and families in this way is especially close to my heart.
I enjoy working with those who are open to a thoughtful, holistic approach, using a blend of modalities tailored to suit each individual.
