About

I came to healing through lived experience, not just training.

I grew up in Gore, Southland, in a family of four with hardworking parents who valued education and stability. I was privately schooled, and from the outside life looked structured and secure. But my body was always sensitive. I had asthma as a child, and early on I learned that health isn’t just about genetics or treatment, it’s shaped by environment, stress, and how we respond to life.

At 20, I left New Zealand for Australia, and in my late twenties I spent time living and travelling through Europe. Those years gave me perspective, independence, and space to question how I wanted to live. They also quietly deepened my inner life, even though at the time I didn’t have language for what I was searching for.

In my twenties, my body forced me to pay closer attention through crippling chronic fatigue. I went through the medical system, saw specialists, and did what I was told. While parts of that journey were helpful, it was naturopathy and homeopathy that ultimately supported my recovery and helped me rebuild my health from the inside out. That experience changed how I understood the body, illness, and healing.

Alongside my own journey, I trained and worked for years in hospitals as a Registered Nurse. Nursing grounded me in the realities of stress, trauma, and recovery. It taught me how to remain calm and present when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Later, I trained and worked as a naturopath, which expanded my understanding further and gave me a more holistic framework for supporting people. I loved being a Nurse but again I didn’t fit the system, the system didn’t see the person only the symptom, I was annoyed at myself for again not fitting, only later to realise there was a divine reason.

After years in both systems, what I’ve realised is this: treatment alone doesn’t create lasting healing. You can do all the right things on the surface, but real change only happens when you’re willing to acknowledge your inner truth and do the work. Without that, patterns tend to repeat, in the body, in relationships, and in life.

Over time, my focus naturally moved toward the inner life. I believe we’re here to learn our lessons in a physical world, and that when those lessons are avoided, they return in different forms. For me, spirituality isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about learning how to live with greater honesty, awareness, and responsibility inside a human body.

I’ve also had experiences that challenged how I understood reality itself. Some of them were unsettling and even frightening at the time. But they became turning points that led me into deeper spiritual study, including the work of Caroline Myss and other teachers, and into a clearer sense of purpose in the work I do now. I believe we’re living through a time of accelerated change, and many people are feeling it through their nervous systems, their health, and their sense of direction.

I was single until I was 40, this was a hard time dark night of soul, which wasn’t the usual path where I grew up. That chapter shaped me deeply. It taught me independence, discernment, and how to build a life that actually fits, rather than one driven by expectation or comparison.

Today, I live in Rangiora with my husband. We’re currently navigating IVF together, with the hope of having a child. It’s a process that has deepened my understanding of effort and surrender, of doing what we can while also recognising that some parts of life unfold in their own timing. I meet this season with openness, trust, and curiosity about what becomes. Knowing a higher power controls the outcome.

Life now is simpler the dots are joining. I value nature, open space, and a pace that supports presence rather than performance. This is the place I work from.

When I sit with clients, I bring both worlds: clinical experience and holistic healing, grounded support and intuitive depth. I don’t believe in rushing transformation or prescribing answers. I believe in creating the conditions where clarity, healing, and alignment can arise naturally.

If you’re here, it may be because some part of you knows there’s another way of living, one that feels truer, steadier, and more coherent.

That knowing is what we look to explore
