My Personal Approach

The Short Version!

  • I studied 3 diplomas 1997-2000 and a Bachelor’s Degree 2003-2004  – Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, Diploma of Nutrition and a Diploma of Remedial Massage at Nature Care College and a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine) at Charles Sturt University
  • I am also qualified in Herbal Medicine, Homoeopathy, Iridology, Bach Flower Remedies, Pregnancy massage, Swedish Massage, Reflexology, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
  • I am a Mum to a precious boy who I adore
  • I love spending my spare time at the beach, swimming, in the sun, gardening, bush walks, Aqua Zumba, netball (though too many injuries to play now) and watching my son play Basketball
  • Previous 10 years I worked in Funds Management (Finance) and managed a department of dedicated and hardworking people

The Long Version – grab a cup of Tea!

I was fortunate enough to grow up in Lennox Head on the NSW Far North Coast, and was surrounded by people who valued their health, diet and healthy lifestyle, including my grandparents who loved to grow their own vegetables and consult with Naturopaths and Iridologists.

Forward to 1997 and after 10 years of hard work in the Finance / Funds Management industry, it was time for a career change. I can’t explain it but Naturopathy found me. I just followed the steps in front of me. The first day of four years of full-time study I knew I was where I was meant to be.

I graduated with qualifications in Naturopathy, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Iridology, Counseling, Flower Essences and Massage Therapy (Remedial, Swedish, Pregnancy, Infant Massage, Reflexology and Manual Lymphatic Drainage). Then another 18months of part-time study 2003-2004 at Charles Sturt University I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine).

In 2010 and at 42 years old I was able to manifest my precious son using Natural Medicines. My joy! We moved to the beautiful Sunshine Coast to join family and I started Buderim Natural Health and Massage and serving the local community.
