I have been a Complementary and Alternative Health Practitioner for almost 20 years. During this time I have utilised my skills in Homeopathy, nutrition and Functional and Clinical Medicine to work with many many chronically ill children and adults in Africa, The Middle East and Australia towards better health and in some instances cure. I learnt that curing is inherently different to healing. This distinction revolutionised the way I practised.

Curing means “eliminating all symptoms of disease”, whereas healing means “to become whole”. In the case of chronic illness or emotional disease, "cure" is only lasting when healing happens on a deeper level.

I studied and worked with many therapists and healers from a variety of schools of thought. Through this process I gained insight into some of the many complex problems that affect all of us - each one differently, of course, but with some commonality. People who are “stuck” have unresolved emotional or physical trauma that keeps them stuck in a learnt pattern of self preservation.

Studying ways to heal my own emotional pain led me to develop a life and wellness coaching approach that aims to marry healing and curing thereby paving the way for the magic of transformation to happen. Examining belief structures, reactive patterns and unresolved trauma can keep us “stuck” and unable to step in and enjoy the wonders that this life has to offer. Healing goes to the heart and changes everything, if you approach it the right way.

I use an eclectic approach to psychotherapy including a combination of Coherence Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Inner Family Systems, Psychosynthesis and Positive Psychology to facilitate an individual in self exploration by examining beliefs, narratives, images, and interpretations about who they are and their purpose and place in this world. This approach is based on the fundamental belief that every person is already whole at their core, the therapeutic process is a journey back to this wholeness.

When change occurs at the core level of the mind and the person grows significantly at this level, significant shifts in their behaviours, choices, and emotions follow. The “doing” flows from “being”. Over time, real transformation occurs, and the thoughts, attitudes and actions necessary to bring envisioned goals into existence arise organically, as an expression of the fulfilment of purpose.
