From Nurse to Body Detective: My Journey to Helping You Thrive!

​

I’ve worn a few hats over the years—some literal, some metaphorical—but every one of them has shaped the way I help people today. I started out as a Registered Nurse fresh out of school, and I loved it! Nursing ignited my passion for connecting with people and solving the puzzle of what’s going on beneath the surface to restore health.

​

Fast forward to my 40s: a wedding, two amazing little humans, and a big move back home to New Zealand after years abroad. Life was full, but so were the challenges. I’ve wrestled with irritable bowel syndrome, bouts of debilitating anxiety, and—oh, the joy—navigating the hormonal rollercoaster that is perimenopause. (Spoiler alert: it’s a wild ride, and yes, snacks are required.)

​

I knew I wanted to reignite my passion for health—not just to empower myself, but to help others take back control over those stubborn, chronic symptoms that can feel impossible to escape.

​

In 2019, I met John Polley, who quite literally opened my eyes to the power of the Myofascial network (think of it as your body’s built-in support system). He taught me how unlocking this intricate tissue system can create freedom of movement and incredible physical transformation. Inspired, I trained as an Advanced Myofascial Movement and Lymphatic Reset Coach, learning how to help people move with ease—no more pain, swelling, or feeling “stuck” in their own bodies.

​

Then, in 2020, I crossed paths with another phenomenal mentor, Dr. Stewart Gillespie, and my passion for Functional Health was set ablaze. This was my “aha!” moment—where my love of solving health mysteries and helping people heal from the inside out truly came together.

 

Now, I’m your friendly neighborhood Body Detective. My mission? To listen deeply, piece together your unique health history, and uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms.

From there, I provide practical, empowering solutions to help you regain health, energy, and vitality.

​

I’d love the chance to meet you and be part of your journey to wellness—because no one should feel stuck in a body that isn’t thriving. Let’s work together to solve your health puzzle!
