I have always had an ongoing & invested interested in working with children (paediatrics), no matter what industry I worked in.
Since I could remember I knew that I wanted to work with children, and couldn’t wait to become a mum, so I did.
I qualified as a children’s educator completing a traineeship while still completing high school. I worked in a community children’s centre for 5-years. Then I became a nanny 🫶🏽 I was a dance teacher to both children’s and adults (hip-hop & Jaz ~ Yes, your girl can bust-a-move), I also worked in every theme park on the Goldie, I even worked a 6-month contract at dreamworld in a scare house ~ that was fun! But more for the older kids & adults 🤭
Growing up In the hinterland on the Gold Coast I always had a deep seeded love for nature and native flora & fauna. I went on to work in bush regeneration, which broadened my awareness of medicinal herbal medicine (deemed weeds/pests from local councils 🙄 - so backwards!). I went onto completing my bachelor of health science degree in Naturopathy (BHSc Nat).
I was a full time step mum when I started my degree (still am 15-years (ok that makes me feel old), and I became a birth-mama towards the end of my degree 🫶🏽 I have always wanted to work in the “whole-Family-Care” Health space (preconception & pregnancy care, mum, dad & Kiddos), as it takes the whole family 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Since completing my studies (2014 - 2023), I have completed many maaaaaany hours of extra training in both the paediatric and adult health space, in many areas. My most recent training was becoming a ‘Certified Paediatric (Children’s) Microbiome Clinician’. I am currently training in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and have a large to do list to achieve ~ so stay tuned.
Being a naturopath is a life-long degree of ongoing learning, and I am here for it all.
