Greetings and welcome to my website. I do appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

Let me commence with a little bit about myself as a practitioner.

I studied at the Melbourne College of Naturopathy, and graduated in 1990. I subsequently achieved post graduate qualifications in Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy.

I set up in private practice in Bunyip in early 1991; wow, a long time ago!! Some years later I expanded my horizons to a clinic in Pakenham. I still practice in Pakenham on Mondays and Saturdays. The rest of the week I’m at my Bunyip clinic.

Being a Naturopath is both exciting and challenging. I believe that treating both acute and chronic health problems successfully requires the understanding that we, as practitioners are treating people with illness; not just illness. Each individual is unique in their state of illness, therefore so is the treatment. As a health care professional it is important to both treat the people who see me in a long term curative manner as well as relieve the symptoms in the short term.

So far I have concentrated on my Naturopathic practice, but a large part of my work is as a massage therapist. Whether it be remedial, relaxation or manual lymphatic drainage massage, all are extremely beneficial in the quest for wellbeing. Being a herbalist enables me to use creams and lotions that assist in the effective use of these massage techniques.

 

Over the years I have treated a massive variety of health issues. Some of these are:
