My passion for Natural Health started as a little girl in
NZ with my nanny who used fresh herbs to heal, her love and knowledge more
than inspired me. I wish I could say
that it has always been happy sailing, I have gone through a few health
concerns with one of the biggest being very severe acne. At the time I was doing “everything right “You
know, ticking all the boxes! I was vegeterian,
macrobiotic, meditated and did kickboxing, yet I had this horrible inflamed
skin. Thats when, luckily, I meet my first Naturopath and she taught me two of my biggest lessons when it comes to health
1. That
my body was not “letting me down” but
working really well and letting me know something wasn’t working on the inside
so I now had the opportunity to fix it.
2. That
there is no one diet or answer for everybody.
My approach to health and happiness begins with the idea
that we are all individuals , special
and unique and need to treat our bodies with love, honesty and compassion to achieve the health and
happiness. I now realise we need to
nurture and nourish our bodies and have fun sometimes too. The mind is so
important and our relationship with ourselves, our food and our environment is
too. It’s exciting to help people feel better to let go of their judgements on
themselves and to breath.
Yes, sometimes you need to shake things up a little, look
at what you are eating , get moving and even think a little differently; we all
deserve to feel amazing and we all can!
Our bodies are
constantly trying to reach a balance and our diet and lifestyle should reflect this. I work with my
patients to help them reach their health goals , reduce stress , ease
inflammation and reach a place where they feel energetic , calm, happy and in control. A place where they
celebrate life. Feeling good about themselves.
When I was working at an exclusive spa in Thailand, I got
to treat some high profile guests. One
of my favourites that I got to meet was Raymond Blanc. I love his approach to food and will always
remember him saying to a room full of executives, celebrities and models, that “as
far as he was concerned, food should be an act of love for yourself and
your family and serving up premade prepackaged frozen food was an act of hate”
So eat, live, move and think with love and respect for yourself, your
environment and your future.
