I hold a Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine), an Advanced Diploma and Diploma in Naturopathy, and diplomas in Nutrition and Botanical Medicine, a foundation that shapes not just how I practise, but how I see health more broadly: as something built on nutrition, movement, and genuine care, for people and animals alike.
That belief extends well beyond the clinic. I'm a passionate advocate for animal welfare, including the small creatures most people overlook, insects play a far larger role in sustaining life than they're given credit for, bees being the clearest example. I've shared my life with four dogs, each living well into their teens, which reinforced something I've come to see as true in health generally: longevity comes as much from love and connection as it does from good nutrition and exercise. These days, a family of magpies visits daily for a hand-fed snack, and watching them recently bring their newborn down to meet me was a genuine highlight.
Outside of health and animal welfare, I've competed in athletics at state and national level, played basketball for UTS at the national university championships, and trained in a Chinese martial art for over two decades, all of which taught me the discipline and long-term commitment I bring to my work today.
