NATUROPATH - NUTRITIONIST - LIFESTYLE COACH
That’s me in a nutshell but if you’re interested in the slightly longer story please continue.
Becoming a naturopath was a career change taking me back to follow my passion for food, health and healing practices which work in harmony with the mind and body.
My enthusiasm for food and health started in my teenage years with an interest in cooking, and led to the completion of a BSc (Hon) degree in Food and Human Nutrition, UK. After graduation, a position in food product development progressed to a successful career within the corporate environment, working predominantly as a buyer and category manager for several global retail organisations.
Many of the skills I developed in these positions have helped me to be become a successful naturopath – it’s important for me to be organised, focussed and a good communicator, to help you set goals whilst understanding what it’s like to work in a high pressure and busy environment. This ensures that your treatment plan is feasible for your lifestyle. My passion for food and healthy living also ensures that my clients receive a wealth of practical information and tips which help to motivate and facilitate change.
When not in practice in the Melbourne CBD area I also enjoy working for Health Project (a national corporate health provider) which involves writing newsletter articles, presenting at seminars and providing health screening services to Australian businesses.
As an accredited member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA) it verifies my credentials and enables my clients to claim health rebates from most healthcare providers (subject to the level of insurance cover). I also believe that it is important to work collaboratively with all other healthcare practitioners to ensure that each client receives the appropriate and complete level of care required.

And finally, I believe it is important to find a practitioner that you’re comfortable with so I’m always happy to discuss your requirements by phone, or in person, prior to booking a consultation.
I look forward to hearing from you.
