A Little Bit More About Me…

When I found out that I had Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, I was told that I would never heal from it. Everything I read suggested that I would need to be on medication for the rest of my life. I exhausted multiple possibilities trying to prevent panic attacks and nightmares associated with CPTSD. My diet was extremely limited. I had brain fog and lethargy and was in constant pain. I was so unwell that I couldn’t work for a number of years - simply getting up in the morning was a struggle.

But, rather than give up, I dug my heels in and decided to take charge of my health, whatever it took.

I have dedicated the last eight years to understanding how the mind and body work synchronistically to produce our conscious experience, making several important discoveries along the way. The first was learning to manage my stress response via the vagus nerve.

Once I had quieted my nervous system and my emotional well-being improved, I began to learn more about how diet, exercise, self-expression and creativity, social connection, my thoughts, time in nature, genetics, and even posture all affect how we think and feel. Using everything I’ve learnt, I eliminated my CPTSD symptoms, put myself into remission from autoimmune disease, made new friends, strengthened relationships with family, and discovered a level of health I never knew was possible.

In short, I found joy in life again and I live a much richer and happier life than ever before.

I dedicated myself to understanding my condition and its causes, which empowered me to change my health and my life.

Years ago, I committed to do whatever I could to bring about positive change in the world. I’m here to help you discover how to make informed decisions that allow you to thrive. I can’t heal you, but I can give you the information, tools, and guidance you need to heal yourself.

My mission is built upon the knowledge that within each of us, there is an inherent capacity for immense health, well-being, and accomplishment. The articles and resources you find on this website, workshops and events that I run, and my one-on-one consultations are all designed to deepen your understanding of YOU. In doing so, I hope to empower you with knowledge and skills to help you transform your life for the better, wherever you are on your journey.

The best thing about everything I’ve learnt is that it doesn’t require taking pills or synthetic drugs, which can often have harmful side effects. It’s an approach based on optimising your body’s inherent wisdom, based on the latest and most relevant research, from a systems perspective.

There are no magic bullets here, just an ever-deepening understanding of how we can live our best life.
