My Background

 I have used Natural Healing Methods for years myself and have always been very much into meditation and self improvement. I am a practising Buddhist and this life-long journey awoke me to this need people have to heal from within as it is the only real way to heal completely or holistically. I set about learning Natural Healing Methods several years ago simply for my own benefit but soon found that I wanted to help others with this and make it my very way of life and career.

I became very aware that energetic medicine was the way forward in health and contained the untapped secrets to lasting wellness. I was lucky enough whilst researching energy medicine, to come across an early version of the NES® system and upon reading this knew this was where I wanted to work and the system I wanted to work with. I now bring my passion to my clients from my business here in Dunsborough to help enable them to live happy, healthy lives.

I obtained my Diplomas through study and graduation from Health and Harmony College in Brisbane Australia via home based study.

Further Backgound & Acievements

I undertook the studies as part of my own learning journey as well as for my lifes’ work and thoroughly enjoyed the process. I did approximately 1-2 courses per year, sometimes more, simultaneously as I really loved the gaining of the knowledge! It was all geared towards me having a good foundation from which to learn and practice NES® Bioenergetic Medicine. Now six or so years on I am in practice and have practiced all along as I had to earn a living as I worked and studied. It was hard sometimes but mostly I just enjoyed it!
I have had my work and articles published on Ezinearticles.com,  energetic-medicine-research.net,  natural health article published on alternativetherapies.com.au, published and contribute articles to healthycomparisons.com.au also. I have been quoted in Australia’s “Good Medicine” magazine regarding energetic medicine and acupressure tapping for emotional relief. I have a wealth of experience in my chosen fields and I look forward to helping you regain health and wellbeing. It is my passion to help others be well.

Namaste.
