I am originally from New Zealand, and am married to a Swiss - Andy.
We have two girls and a boy and have been living in Switzerland since 2004.

I became interested in Nutritional Medicine through suffering for many years with borderline health problems and infertility and after experiencing such incredible health breakthroughs myself I was convinced that this was the way to go so began studying it formally. I have just finished my Diploma in Nutritional Medicine through the University of West London and am now working part time doing Nutritional Medicine Consultations.

I grew up with a normal lifestyle - well one that I would consider typical - eating whatever, whenever and getting away with it, but that finally started to catch up with me in my early 20's when I started to see a shift in my body's overall health and began to have to deal with many of the things I had ignored for years. Through Nutritional Medicine, I have grown in my understanding of the body and just how complex, yet amazingly simple it is - input and outputs, and many different issues that all intertwine and affect each other.

I have begun to focus very much on establishing a foundation of health in my clients. I believe that without a basic foundation of health, underpinning the body's general functions, then a person will experience all kinds of different symptoms which progress towards named diseases, depending on the person's inherited or acquired weaknesses.

Many come with various issues, and there are so many different approaches out there, so many different herbs, nutrients, diets etc. that I find the most important is to establish a strong baseline of nutrition and health, before looking to any secondary therapies. My focus is that if you can get the foundations right, then you can start to build on it. The body was designed to heal itself, so given the right nutrients and ingredients it needs to work properly, a huge amount of natural healing can take place and it is possible to either halt or reverse the slippery slide towards chronic ill health.
