About

Why My Passion is Natural Medicine?

It all started after being extremely sick and bedridden.
After being passed through a line of doctors and specialists, pumped full of antibiotics, pain medications, creams and the tools of the medical system, I was definitely far from well.

Years after this experience, doctors and specialists could only give me tablets to mask symptoms and cover up visual signs on my body. 

I just knew feeling exhausted, complete body dullness, brain fog, anxiety and even looking unwell with unhealthy weight loss was not right. I knew there had to be more I could do to feel better.

I first read books on alternative health and got a few tips on diet, lifestyle and simple methods that were outside the box.
Those things helped make me feel a little better.
So I did more and visited a herbalist.
Again I felt ever better.

Eventually I started studying Naturopath first in Perth and then later in Melbourne, Australia.
The journey continued and now I help others like you, regain complete wellness and the kind of health that makes you feel excited to wake up in the morning!
