Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner | Former Emergency Registered Nurse | Holistic Health Educator

For over 20 years, I’ve assisted people navigating everything from health crises to life transitions.

My work blends ancient Eastern healing systems, Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, with insights from modern health science. It’s care that sees the whole person; physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.

My Background

Before moving into holistic practice, I spent nearly a decade working as a Registered Nurse in Emergency and Palliative Care. Those years taught me so much not just about the body, but about what it means to be human in moments of vulnerability.

Curiosity led me deeper, beyond symptom management and into more holistic frameworks of care.

How I Work

My sessions are grounded in the principles of Chinese Medicine, informed by Ayurvedic wisdom, and shaped by years of clinical experience. Whether you're navigating chronic health issues, emotional burnout, or seeking a deeper connection to your wellbeing.

Quick Note

I’m a registered health practitioner under AHPRA (Chinese Medicine). While I integrate practices like Ayurveda and meditation into my work, they are not part of my registered scope of practice. All care is tailored to your individual needs, and no claims are made for guaranteed outcomes.

 My Philosophy

Healing is a remembering.
A returning to your own breath, body, and rhythm.
A reunion with your essential nature.

A return to your wholeness.

In my work, we listen to what the body is trying to communicate and address the root cause.

This is Traditional Medicine.
And I’m honoured to walk this path with you.
