I am a lover of gaia, mother to four dynamic, yet awe inspiring boys and wife to a real life superman. My journey in holistic medicine began 12 years ago when 2 of my 4 boys were experiencing chronic health conditions. My second son had various digestive conditions, accompanied with severe eczema covering approximately 40% of his body and my third son was experiencing monthly ear infections to the point where puss would regularly seep from both ears.
After months of seeing doctors and specialists, modern medicine seemed to provide a bandaid rather than a treatment. When my third son became hospitalised after an antibiotic induced adverse reaction, I knew something had to change. I began researching alternative remedies and stumbled upon the magical powers of herbal tea's. Along with several dietary changes, lemon balm and echinacea root tea became my families daily drink and within a month, my second sons eczema had completely cleared and he had started to eat meals without issues. My third son had his first month of no ear infections in almost 2 years and I knew I was on the right track.
This empowerment catapulted me on a mission to revamp my families diet and lifestyle and I delved deep into the world of complimentary healing. After life took an unexpected turn, I found myself enrolling in a Bachelor of Complimentary Medicine majoring in Naturopathy at Endeavour College of Natural Health.
Fast forward 5 years, I am now a degree qualified Naturopath with an affinity for Paediatric Care as I love empowering parents on the simple changes that can be implemented into their daily lives. Through education and getting back to basics, we have an exponential positive influence on not only our children's health, but also our own.
