I have always been interested in health and well-being. After completing school I trained as an RN and worked in a variety of community and hospital settings as a nurse for over 10 years. In 2000 I completed a diploma in Naturopathy at Wellpark college and became a registered naturopath. My interest didn’t stop there and I studied and became a Medical Herbalist. After practising yoga for ten years and experiencing its profound healing benefits and seeing how well it worked for others, I decided to become a yoga teacher. In 2014 I joined Ashram Yoga’s yoga teacher training course and now I am a qualified yoga teacher.
In my practice as a holistic therapist I recommend a wide variety of yoga postures, breathing techniques and herbs. The postures are usually very easy to do and get amazing results. The key is doing at little bit of yoga regularly. The herbs I prescribe are a very cost effective way to heal your body. They are gentle and deeply nourishing and my clients often get benefits way beyond the healing of their joints and inflammatory conditions – like better sleep, a deep sense of wellbeing, emotional stability and more energy and enthusiasm.
Over many years I have seen the healing power of herbs and yoga and breathing just so many times. I am astonished that these simple remedies are not taught in schools. If you ask me everyone should know at least some yoga because a little bit can go a very long way to make your life so much better.
