A journey that began almost 30 years ago has taken me down a road of discovery of the natural healing world. Having 2 daughters who both experienced allergies, eczema and asthma. It was fast became a cycle of colds – chest infections – antibiotics when I felt my natural instincts kick in and asked myself was this a journey I wanted for my girls?

Absolutely not, so I started out with a homeopath for their health issues and suddenly found myself immersed in the practice of Homeopathy and off down the health and wellbeing rabbit hole I went. I read book upon book (no internet for me back then), on homeopathy, Naturopathy, Nutrition, early Naturopathic teachings and more.

Their diet was immediately changed, no dairy, sugar etc and the change was dramatic. Any colds/coughs/tummy issues I would see my homeopath who I owe so much gratitude to. He emigrated to Canada 25 years ago, his parting gift to me was his champion juicer which I still use today, juicing led me to read more and finally I decided to study. My early nutritional studies were also steeped in Naturopathy and the philosophy of detoxification and elimination. I have spent thousands of hours in further courses, lectures, books, workshops and online deepening my knowledge, I still feel I have so much to learn.

For over 22 years the focus of my work is still in the area of detoxification and elimination. I have been seen putting into practice and applying detoxification and elimination methods which was seen on our tv screens showing the successful ‘The Spa of Embarrassing Illness’ series 3,4 & 5 , the  BBC’s  ‘The last resort’ series 2 , as well as discussing the importance of detoxification in the 21st century on the sofa of GMTV, Lorraine Kelly and Good Morning Britain. I have also facilitated many detox retreats over the years.

I weave the teachings/understandings/practices into my programmes taught from our early Naturopaths to help improve our health and support wellbeing. We have come a long way with our understanding of Nutritional Therapy and evidence based nutrition as well as the application of  Functional and systems based medicine but we cannot forget that nature is the best physician. Functional testing can be invaluable to glean more insights into my client’s health issues along with their case history from pre-conception to the current time.
