About Me
I’m a Health Professional with over 20 years in the industry. I had been a Registered Nurse in busy Emergency Departments for 11 years when I decided to expand my skill set and become one of the first Nurse Practitioners (NP) in Australia. I am now in my 13th year as a NP and I absolutely love my chosen career.
However, for the last few years I have looked at healthcare differently. I was experiencing my own issues like joint pain, lethargy and weight fluctuations. I didn’t want to accept that I was ‘just getting old’, I decided to explore the internal processes of what really causes our symptoms. To get a deeper understanding of this theory I completed my Certification in Applied Functional Medicine by one of the leading Functional Medicine schools in the USA. I am now exremely happy to truely be on a path that I am passionate about. Tired of conventional medicine, where chronic disease is ‘managed’, but not ever reversed. Where health, fitness, lifestyle and nutrition is the forefront of wellness, vitality and longevity.
Understandably GPs are busy with heavy workloads and often unable to provide the time to dig deeper. With Functional Medicine we make the time to explore your symptoms (your warning signs) to investigate the root causes of the dis-ease and improve health for the long term.
Nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress and many other critical factors play a vital role in your bodys biochemical processes.
