After a long period of ill-health, when mainstream medical practice failed to diagnose fundamental problems that compromised my quality of life, I grew tired of being told that I would have to be on drugs for the rest of my life to manage symptoms, because they couldn't identify the root cause of my medical problems which were continuing to get worse. It got to the point where all my organs were failing, I was literally dying on my feet, and it wasn't a doctor but a holistic practitioner who eventually diagnosed me, and put me on the road to recovery. I had to give up my previous business, because I was so ill.

I started off as a skeptic with "alternative" medicine, but after my own journey, and how it has literally transformed my life, I've stopped grieving for the loss of my business because I've realised that I now have a different mission - to educate people about natural alternatives to drug-based health treatments. So I retrained as a Herbalist, Nutritionist and Aromatherapist. I now work as a Natural therapy practitioner, advising people how to maintain or regain their health and vitality through dietary and attitudinal adjustments, and taking natural remedies and supplements instead of hard pharmaceutical drugs. I've been drug free myselfl now for over a year, after doctors told me that I'd have to take blood pressure, cholsterol and digestive medications for the rest of my life! ! !

I love this work! Seeing the difference it makes to people's lives is the most uplifting experience possible, and it is a real privilege to be part of some other wonderful, transformational personal journeys.
