About Me
I’ve helped people who were told “there’s nothing that can be done about your pain” heal themselves naturally while overcoming other life issues as a side benefit.
I’ve shown people how to interpret the whispers, hints and screams from their body so they can live life by their terms, not limited by pain and illness.
My story has two beginnings: the one of my own health journey, and one with my discovery of the mind-body link in my professional world.
I’ve helped people who were told “there’s nothing that can be done about your pain” heal themselves naturally while overcoming other life issues as a side benefit.
I was diagnosed with depression in 2007. Over the next six years I went from Doctor, to Psychologist, to Naturopath, to Counsellor, to other Psychologists, to other Doctors… Only to be told there’s nothing more that could be done. I couldn’t accept that medication was my only option, so I immersed myself in holistic health studies.
I tried to exercise as it’s a proven treatment for depression, but I kept getting injured.
Bike riding? Back pain.
Running? Knee injury.
Yoga? Shoulder impingement.
Weights? Wrist ganglion.
I couldn’t seem to win, and I was beginning to worry that I’d have to accept that I was just getting old and my body couldn’t handle what it used to.
Despite this, I continued to learn and got to know myself even better. I noticed how my state of mind was linked to my energy levels and my motivation for healthy habits. I came to understand that my poor self image was actually destroying my health. I made small, sustainable changes and the depression disappeared, along with my recurring bodily injuries.
And then there were the remarkable patterns I noticed in the clinic.
Parallel to my own personal learnings, I became sensitive to how my clients’ life stresses were showing up in their bodies. People came in thinking they just needed support with an injury, but came to realise that their mind was deeply involved too, and the injury was actually trying to point them to something deeper.
They were tired of being in pain, and were willing to try something new.
Careful questioning from my studies in epigenetics, holistic health coaching and the mind-body connection helped them reveal the true, deeper cause of their pain, not only physical but the mental stresses and conflicts that were keeping them in their struggle.
It wasn’t just about massage and exercise. They walked out of my office with not only pain relief, but new levels of purpose and understanding across many areas of their life.
So here I am.
My mission is to show people their own inner power to heal their bodies and minds. Everyone already contains their own answers. I help you interpret the signals so those answers can be understood and you can create a life free of pain and other unwanted limitations.
I live in my paradise (Sunshine Coast, Australia) and my favourite things are personal development, outdoor adventures, and spreading the gift of self awareness.
