From a young age, I was captivated by the mysteries of biological sciences, the human body, and nature. My love for the ocean, nature, and sports only deepened this curiosity. I always sensed there was something more to life, something beyond explanation. This innate compassion led me to explore various forms of healing such as Mirimiri, Rongoa, and meditation.

​

My childhood, though challenging, taught me invaluable lessons. Conforming to societal norms led me down different paths, including work in the trades sector and a brief period in the military. Yet, I felt a persistent void—a lack of passion and a sense of losing myself. At twenty-one, after leaving the military, I revisited my childhood passions and decided to pursue a career in the medical field.

I earned a Bachelor of Nursing in 2012 and later completed a postgraduate diploma in Nursing Science. My nursing career spanned across various specialties, including aged care, medical, surgical, vascular, ENT, community nursing, and travel nursing in Australia.

 

Over time, I realized that health, well-being, and disease prevention were more complex than they initially seemed. In 2017, my path took a transformative turn. I attended the Freedom and Flow surfing retreat in the Philippines, led by Nathan and Joveline Head and their wonderful family. The retreat included Taoist meditations, Qigong, and plenty of surfing and mobility exercises. Initially drawn to the retreat for surfing and relaxation, I found myself profoundly changed by the experience. Nathan introduced me to Taoist meditations, Qigong techniques, and Chi Nei Tsang—this was one of my enlightening moments. Suddenly, all the knowledge and patterns I had recognized throughout my life and nursing career made sense.

​

With a newly expanded awareness, I delved into alternative health therapies rooted in Eastern methodologies. I travelled to Thailand to further my training with Mantak Chia, gaining certification as a Chi Nei Tsang practitioner and other healing modalities such as Tok Sen, Thai herbal ball massage, Reiki training with Melissa Crowhurst, and a massage therapy course.

Since 2018, I have dedicated myself full-time to the alternative health sector, developing an integrative approach to treatments. Combining physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual aspects, I help realign individuals with their true selves or address physical misalignments, depending on their needs. This journey has also led me to explore supernatural and shamanic healing methods, which I continue to develop.

​

With the knowledge, skills, and experience I have gained, I feel it is my passion and purpose in this lifetime to help humanity and the earth in more natural and grounded ways. Helping people ease their suffering, whether it be physical or spiritual or emotional pain. I compassionately aim to help others live more fulfilling lives, by connecting with what truly matters to them. 

I would be delighted to support you on your journey in any way I can.

LOVE, LIGHT, GRATITUDE & JOY!
