Using the whole health principal gathered from the Primal Health Coach Institute, with whom I am certified, I help people reach their health goals. Using skills emerged from a range of modalities I assist in goal setting, and provide support while empowering clients to make sustainable change on their journey to optimal health.

I have practiced yoga for almost two decades and have been encouraging yoga in my clients’ healing journey, where appropriate, for some years. I’m thrilled to announce that I am now studying yoga therapy with world renown teacher, Susi Hately, and I am now integrating this approach into my practice.

I’m from a family of foodies, and my mum’s priority to was to put delicious well balanced meals on the table. Sweets and sugar were restricted in our household, and I was sent to school with my daily apple! Needless to say, food became a part of my identity, although it would be years before nutrition entered my career. I ran restaurants for 15 years, working with Chinese and Mediterranean cuisine. Culinary skills, learned in those early days, have followed me into my healing programs.

I love bike packing and after turning fifty I rigged up my bike with makeshift touring gear and set off on the adventure of a lifetime, traveling over 4,200 km from Banff, Canada, through the Rocky Mountains to the Mexican border. The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route takes riders along logging roads, limited single track, and sections of highway. Sometimes I didn’t see another soul for days, other times I happily cycled with other adventurers. I believe EVERYONE should have the opportunity to chase their dreams.

During early childhood, I opened a book stall outside my house to raise money for “mentally handicapped children”. My dad told me off because I wrote “sport” instead of support mentally handicapped children, on the paper which decorated the collection box!

In junior school, in England, I helped raise funds for the Pat Seed Appeal Fund. Pat Seed had cancer and back in those days CT scanners where rare. She wanted to raise a million pounds to buy a CAT scanner to help others detect cancer for early treatment. Our headmaster in his attempt to help us visualize a million pounds, told us, if pound notes had legs and walked in threes down this road, it would take several days for them all to pass our school.

Working as a paramedic has helped me understand the demands and needs of those who feel committed to the conventional medical system. I am able to communicate on various levels and support people in their medical choices, whilst empowering them to take charge of their healing journey.
