Experiencing ongoing health issues from early childhood and growing up in a rural community on my grandparent's property provided an environment for healthy living, implementing sustainable and ethical practices with the farm to table process and in later life when I moved to the city, discovering the benefits of healthy dietary practices, exercise and lifestyle strategies recommended by Clinical Nutritionists, Dietitians and other holistic health professionals which ultimately led to the decision to study the Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine).

Many years ago my father was unwell after seeing the results of natural medicine on him i got interested. I did general nursing but could not complete due to sever concussion after a car accident.

In 1973 qualified as a Naturopath in New Zealand, I moved to Australia and complete a homoeopathic course from UK. I became an Osteopath but to be allowed to practice i had to complete a second Naturopathic Diploma to be able to practice in Australia. Then compulsory registration for Chiropractors happened.
