About me
My interest in health began at the age of 14 due to my own health problems. I saw my first Naturopath at that time, which sparked my interest in natural healing. I had my first colonic aged 18 with tremendous benefits, which educated me about "detoxification" and the health benefits that it can bring.
I worked for 7 years as a Computer Analyst/Programmer over in the UK with a real desire to get into the "natural health" industry. I studied Iridology by correspondence while working, then aged 29, I gave up the IT Industry altogether to become a full-time Homeopathic student. I studied for 3 years, full-time at the London College of Practical Homeopathy, then obtained an Advanced Diplomia in Homeopathy.
Realising the importance of nutrition in obtaining optimal health, I also began a course with the Plaskett College of Nutritional Medicine in London. Within a year, I was asked to join the "Nutritional Cancer Therapy Trust" (the NCTT) due to the fact that I was studying Nutrition, and I was also a qualified Homeopath so could help a lot with detox symptoms, pain management and controlling tumor growth.
The NCTT was based on Max Gerson's Cancer therapy, which was developed back in the 1940's. Dr Plaskett, took Max Gerson's successful program, and re-designed it to fit more into the "western working" person's lifestyle. It still revolved around lots of fresh organic juices, coffee enemas, and natural supplementation, and had all the success that the orginial Gerson therapy still does to this day.
Due to personal reasons, my English husband and I decided to return to my hometown of Timaru in New Zealand at the end of 2002. It was here that I set up my Homeopathic and QXCI clinic, specialising in Food intolerances and Digestive health. I also lectured on Homeopathy for The Bay of Plenty College of Homeopathy at their sister college in Christchurch. After 3 years in successful business, we both decided we needed some warmer weather! So, Like a lot of New Zealanders do, we ended up moving to the Gold Coast of Australia.
I was lucky enough to work at the Hippocrates Health Centre of Australia (based in Mudgeeraba, Gold Coast) as a Colon Therapist and Iridologist. I trained as a Colon Therapist at the Australian Institute of Health and became a member of the Australian Colon Health Association in 2005. The Hippocrates Health Centre was a "raw food" only health retreat, which specialised in detoxification, and education in health. It was remarkable the difference that fasting, colonic irrigation, and raw food could make to a persons well-being.
In May 2008, I began Clear Colonics. It is the cummulation of all that I have learned over the past 20 years of searching for optimal health. I truly believe that our digestion and toxicity levels contribute hugely to our health problems, which is why colonics are a big part of what I do.
To achieve optimal health, we need to DETOX, EAT WELL, and experience JOY in life. If we are happy and healthy, we can enjoy a pretty good life!
