During my nurse training in 1983, I was introduced to a variety of holistic healing methods by two of our tutors. This experience at a young age, led the way on my journey of Holistic Health. Back in 1991, I studied Antroposophical Nutrition at Kraaybekerhof in Driebergen, in The Netherlands. I am a Certified Eating Psychology Therapist and Functional Medicine Clinical Nutritionist.

For the last two decades, I have been on my personal journey of learning and growing in many healing modalities. Starting with Brendan Bays and her extensive programme ‘The Journey’.  This sequenced into 12 days of tantric based body work ‘Dancing the Divine’ in the Blue Mountains, Sydney in 2007. In 2008, I became a facilitator in EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, more widely known as ‘tapping’.

I  introduced Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) to New Zealand in 2010, setting up a clinic in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay.  It was a busy clinic with clients ranging from super fit athletes to people with very little choices left to improve their failing health. After three years and many hundreds of sessions later, I decided to move down South and take up full-time study of Neuroscience at Otago University in Dunedin, wanting to understand more about neurology and how hyperbaric oxygen therapy has such a positive influence on our nerve system.

In 2019, I was introduced to Transformational Breath, which blew my mind! I travelled to Los Angelos that same year to learn and become a facilitator in this breath work.

I am passionate in supporting people lead a fulfilling, happy and healthy life.

It is with great pleasure to offer my hyperbaric oxygen therapy services to the people in Christchurch and coaching work through Zoom.
