This work begins where conventional approaches often fall short — at the intersection of nutrition, nervous system, hormonal health, brain function, sleep, environment, meaning, and the quiet wisdom of traditions that predate the modern medical approach by centuries. It does not offer quick fixes or universal protocols. It offers something harder to find — a genuinely personalised understanding of what your particular body, in this particular season of your life, actually needs.
As a Registered Nurse, Mental Health Clinician, and Holistic Health Coach with more than 22 years of clinical experience my interest in integrative and holistic health grew from years of working at the intersection of physical and mental wellbeing — watching conventional approaches compartmentalise and miss the point for people whose bodies were clearly communicating something that standard panels and protocols weren't designed to hear.
I bring to this work a rigorous clinical foundation, a deep respect for traditional healing wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the belief that every person's body holds its own intelligence. My role is not to override that intelligence — it is to help you learn to trust it again. I am not your expert. I am your professional dot connector, educator, planner, champion and guide.
Holistic Health Assessment
Where do we begin?
Your body is one dynamic integrated system. It includes your mind. It’s all connected.
An holistic approach to health recognises this fact along with the importance of an individual’s culture, spirituality, values, lifestyle and experience.
I’m interested in the whole person. Their whole story. I endeavour to support people in reclaiming their personal sovereignty when it comes to health and wellness.
It is my pleasure and privilege to be able to take the time to get to know what is happening for individuals physically, emotionally and mentally, within the context of their relationships, their environment and their human experience. In order for me to help you on your journey, I need to get to know you. To do this, I provide a comprehensive Holistic Health Assessment where we’ll invest in an initial assessment phase involving a preliminary health, wellness and relationship questionnaire and a 90 min consultation. Together we shall gently reflect on previous experience, consider past traumas and examine patterns of behavior. We will discuss your engagements with other health providers, therapists or healers and we’ll examine motivations for and barriers to change. Our work together will explore your world, and we’ll identify desired outcomes based on your values. You will have the time to really share your journey up to booking this appointment with me. Following on from this you’ll receive a detailed email summary from me including reflections, further thoughts and recommendations for ongoing work. We’ll then schedule a 15 min follow up phone call to expand on my written formulation, explore further questions and plan next steps.
Once we have a shared understanding about areas to work on, fwe can formulate a personalised and dynamic plan together.
