I have also been awarded my Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and have undertaken extensive post-graduate studies in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine. I am a Member of both the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) and the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association (AIMA) and I have more than 10 years experience as a Board member including the role of Vice-President on the Board of AIMA.
In 2015 I was awarded as the inaugural winner of the Integrative Medicine Awards Excellence in Practice: Integrative Medicine.
In 2002 I was also awarded the Royal Australian College Of General Practitioners GP Registrar of the Year as I completed my general practice training.
My professional work and undergraduate studies have also offered me some wonderful experiences prior to founding the Centre for Health and Wellbeing, and these included working: as a GP in both a rural setting in Mannum on the Murray River and in a number of practices in urban Adelaide; in a youth health centre called The Second Story offering health care to 12-25 year olds in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide; with Streetlink homeless youth in the inner city centre; and as a final year medical student in a regional hospital in rural Zimbabwe, the Guildford Hospital in the United Kingdom and on an Aboriginal community called Daly River in the Northern Territory of Australia.
I have personally explored a number of spiritual traditions and many years ago I stayed for a week in Sai Baba’s ashram in India. I have also completed a training program in rebirthing/breathwork and have gone on to assist in trainings and complete a train the trainer course. I have experienced a number of vision quests using the “Mother’ medicine Ayahuasca and I am a member of Mind Medicine Australia who are supporting the introduction of psychedelic therapies included psilocybin and MDMA into medical practice.
I have been a member of the K2 Elite community with Kerwin Rae business coaching for 5 years as a client and as a business coach for “Conscious Business Entepreneurs”.
I meditate daily and I am currently working with a teacher to assist in embodying more of my Higher Self and stepping fully into my purpose as a student, a teacher, a healer and a light bearer for our beautiful planet.
I know that the things most important to me in my life are living in alignment with my higher purpose, connecting deeply with others and continuing to learn and expand my own consciousness. My mission is to truly influence the way we live our lives so that more people can have the health and happiness they deserve.
