I genuinely love what I do. Ayurveda isn’t just a practice—it’s a way of living. Every consultation I offer comes from a place of wanting to help you find healing, balance, and genuine peace in your life. I’ve spent decades in the health field, and honestly, I’m still learning. I read the latest research, stay curious about new approaches, and bring both my years of experience and ongoing discoveries to our work together.

My journey started with a science degree in biochemistry and microbiology—I’ve always been fascinated by how the body works. That led me to study Naturopathy at the South Pacific College of Natural Therapeutics, where I graduated in 1984.

Life took me in different directions after that—I had children, worked in Human Resources—but I kept feeling drawn back to healing work. So I went back to study full-time and earned my Diploma of Ayurvedic Medicine after three intensive years. (This is a government-recognized qualification that follows the traditional BAMS syllabus and is internationally acknowledged as one of the most authentic Ayurveda programs outside India.) For the past 18 years, I’ve been blending Ayurveda with my naturopathic training, which gives me a really well-rounded toolkit to support your health.

Throughout all of this, yoga has been my anchor. I’ve trained with wonderful teachers like Judith Lasater, Donna Farhi, and Glenn Ceresoli, and I’m formally qualified in Yoga Therapy (RYT 500 hours). I’ve been teaching for over 20 years now, and I find it beautifully complements everything else I offer.

What I really want is simple: to share the wisdom of Ayurveda, naturopathy, and yoga in ways that actually work for you in real life. I’m practical, I’m compassionate, and my deepest hope is to help you, not just get by, but truly thrive.
