I hope to inspire you and help light that inner fire that resides within you so you can be empowered to live your best life and be your best self. I have completed formal studies in Psychology & Counselling as well as Anatomy, Physiology and Massage Therapy. I am a qualified Professional Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Massage Therapist, Accredited Crystal Healing Therapist, Certified Holistic Healer, Meditation and Metaphysical Teacher.

I have studied many other complementary modalities in order to understand the many facets of healing to achieve a complete and holistic healing experience and education for you.  I use conventional, complementary and spiritually based modalities to help my clients with their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing.

Just as important as formal education, I have undergone many of my own personal challenges, struggles, emotional upheaval and ‘dark night of the soul’ experiences, therefore, I can understand what you are going through from a personal perspective with the insight, depth of understanding and compassion that only someone that has personally experienced inner and outer turmoil can have.

As one who has experienced many life challenges and struggles, I have experienced the depths of hitting rock bottom and re-creating myself and my life to emerge as hopefully, (wink wink) a better person. 

That certain depth of understanding one gains through personal experience, is one that no textbook education can give you.

What does it take to pick yourself up after job loss, bullying, relationship breakdown, poor health, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and loss of purpose??? It takes a lot of courage and a heck of a lot more than that, such as the right knowledge, the right support and the best natural healing methods and philosophies and teachings out there.  Also having great role models and hope helps too.  It takes a lot to turn your life around.  But, with the right methods and right support you too can turn around from practically anything and transform your situation.  There are so many stories of people that have turned their lives around from the most adverse life circumstances.  I am here to share with you my discoveries and personal experiences as well as client’s personal success stories and strategies that helped them to recover their health, get their lives out of a mess and feel much happier within themselves.

A little more about what I do……..

I am not a ‘textbook’ counsellor, although I have been professionally trained, I also have been right there in the trenches of life.  Having had similar experiences to what you are and
being in the very same or similar circumstances that you may be finding yourself in right now, I know what it takes to lift yourself up, heal and transform.

I combine my Psychology/Counselling training with my scientific Naturopathic medicine, Herbal medicine training and Nutritional medicine training to give you a Holistic approach to health…Mind, Body and Spirit.

I know what it means and feels like to fall flat on your face, experience anxiety, depression, bullying and harassment in the workplace, relationship dramas, separation, sudden career
change/loss, life transitions, ill health and the impact that these situations have on your life.

I may appear to be young in age, but I can assure you that I have been through my fair share of life challenges.

I may appear to be young in age, but I can assure you that I have been through my fair share of life challenges.  And more importantly, I know what it takes to get your life going again because I have had to go through it myself rather than just read about it and study it from university textbooks.

With that personal experience and professional study and qualifications I hope to assist
you in regaining control of your life, finding peace, happiness, love and prosperity in all areas of your life.

With that personal experience and professional study and qualifications I hope to assist you in regaining control of your life, finding peace, happiness, love and prosperity in all areas of
your life.

This is why I set up the Holistic Healing Institute to help people just like you to heal themselves naturally and create lives with purpose, passion, prosperity and joy. I hope to assist you to regain health, happiness and balance in your life so you can thrive and live your full potential experiencing full manifestation of your dreams and desires.

This can be accomplished using a variety and combination of Eastern and Western modalities to get to the root cause of your subconscious mind blocks, behavioural, psychological and emotional patterns in order to release, reprogram and heal.  Best of all, you don’t need to relive and recount every single trauma and past event in your life, unless you absolutely want to!

 

“With a unique combination of Scientific Western and Eastern Holistic Mind/Body Spiritual healing traditions, we can now release Self Sabotage patterns, re-program the mind and create new neural pathways as a means of self-healing past and present pain and stress.”

This includes Psychological, Emotional and Spiritual woundings as well as their psychosomatic manifestations in the body causing dis-ease and ill health.  Once we allow the body to heal stored trauma, subconscious psyco-emotional blocks, repressed pain, out-dated perceptions and patterns, the Meridians including other pathways and cells in the body open up and allow the body to self heal of its own accord.  The results are individual and varied depending on your unique circumstances and personal history.

I’ve also been featured in a top selling book on health titled 101 Great Ways To Improve Your Health.  In the book, I joined 100 other health experts to bring you the best methods around the world, to heal yourself naturally……Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit.

A little more about my personal story……..

I mentioned earlier that I had undergone my own challenging circumstances and overcome them.  These challenges are what led me to study and work in this field.  As a 16 year old teen I had experienced my own personal ‘dark night of the soul’ and what some refer to as depression.  I had undergone all the usual allopathic methods such as seeing the school psychologists, being sent to psychiatrists and medical doctors.  All this did not help me and in fact actually added to my feelings of stress, anxiety and depression.

Eventually, I grew desperate for solutions as I knew that a pill would not solve my inner feelings of emptiness or fill an ever growing inner void.  Through my own research on health, healing, stress, anxiety and depression, I stumbled across many theories of recovery and personal well being.

I began experimenting on myself as I felt I had nothing to lose.  (I felt practically suicidal at the time anyway…I may as well try something new).  My physical and mental health was rapidly deteriorating and I felt like I had a big black could hanging over my life.  Not to mention, I found it increasingly hard to concentrate at school and study.  I felt no pleasure in anything at all.

Within my readings I came across scientific, metaphysical, philosophical and spiritual research and concepts from both Western and Eastern paths of knowledge.

This biggest shifts began to occur when I began to study Buddhist & Tibetan philosophies and principles of life and well being.  I began to practice meditation and absorbed the teachings like a sponge.  Over a period of time the knowledge seeped into my mind and psychology and combined with the meditation I began to have a more positive outlook and deeper understanding of ‘self’ and my relationship with my environment and the world.

At the same time, I was reading and studying both at school and with my own private research, nutrition, naturopathic principles of eating, living and being as well as western psychology.  In my research I touched on the chemistry of our bodies, brains and cells as well as the expansive nature of the ‘self’ and universe.

I began an inner transformation and redefinition of myself.  My values, my belief systems, my conscious and subconscious mind, my heart, my soul, my body and even aspects of multi-dimensional selves were explored as part of my personal search for answers.

Through the application of the knowledge I had discovered I began to not only have a more positive outlook and deeper understanding of myself and my world, but I began to feel a whole lot better.

In fact, I began to feel better than I had ever felt in a very long time.  I even began to have expansive bursts of joy and feelings of inner well being.  I got a lot more than I bargained for when I began my research.  Through the meditation, I formed a deep connection with myself and the universe at large.  I felt a sense of love, connection and unity that I had not ever experienced before.  As a result of practicing meditation, I felt a sense of ‘oneness,’ joy, bliss and expansion that cannot be easily defined by words alone.  Despite years of training in traditional religious teachings at various schools and colleges, I hadn’t experienced this level of peace.

Through a combination of Western scientific principles such as specific psychological principles, nutritional, biochemical, physiological elements and personal self care essentials as well as, Eastern philosophical, metaphysical and spiritual teachings, I was able to fully recover from my depression and regained my health again.

However, not only did I regain my health, but I felt I became a different person.  A happier, more loved and connected one.  I felt that life had a purpose and meaning once more and that I had a special place amongst it all.  I discovered the magic of life and the ability to be self determined rather than having others, society, parents, the media or past childhood conditioning determine who you are, how you behave, how you feel and how you live.

I have continued to study both professionally and personally these areas of well being from a holistic (whole person) point of view.  Until, we take a united approach to well being (rather than a symptom-response approach), our healing, health and personal well being will be fractured, dis-jointed and short lived at best.  It is important to approach health, personal happiness and well being from a unified (mind, body, spirit, cosmos) stance in order to effect real lasting changes to one’s health, personal well being and happiness levels.  

The inner reflects the outer and vice versa.  As within, so without.  Our thoughts and emotions affect our physical health and may even hinder our progress in life.

Through my own natural personal recovery, the application of these principles and finding purpose and meaning in my life, I discovered my own personal passion and mission.  Which is why I created the Holistic Healing Institute as a way to share my passion for helping others to overcome their health challenges including depression, anxiety, fatigue also to overcome any emotional blocks to achieving their goals, desires and dreams, discover their purpose and passions in life and create fulfilling lives filled with love, connection, peace and happiness.

I wish to share with you all of my discoveries to natural wellness and my continuing research and new scientific discoveries to assist you in living your life with great health, energy, purpose and passion, joy and vitality.

As each individual person connects to their inner self and authentic purpose and mission, we are able to individually be of service and contribute to the benefit of the whole.  Thus, creating unity and collective well being.

To Your Health, Happiness and Passionate Life!
