it’s a privilege to share my story with you. I have qualifications in finance and accounting and a post graduate in viticulture and oenology. It was during my years working in the wine industry that I developed a real passion for organic food production and started asking questions about conventional chemical agriculture and human health.

More recently my own health journey with cancer instigated a rotation into more holistic integrative health and lifestyle practices which have prompted further study. I am a Prekure Master Coach; IIN qualified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Certified PHA Health Professional. I am a member of the Health Coaches Association Australia and New Zealand (HCANZA). I am also a certified 200hr yoga teacher.

Our own life experiences are certainly our greatest teachers - my own journey taught me that to fully heal we need to be the empowered, proactive protagonist in our healing. Vibrant wellness addresses all aspects of our lives; nurtures the mind, body, heart & soul so that we can embody wellness as a way of life.

It has also consolidated my desire to want to help others; empower people and be a part of the collective voice and conversation that reconnects us with nature, that reconnects us with our capacity to heal our bodies; and the earth; and sees us all living more vibrant, conscious, connected, healthful lives.

I am grateful every day for the opportunity to share, love , learn and journey beside my fellow humans. As the owner of The Longhouse I am passionate about creating a retreat space that allows you to reconnect with nature (te Taio); reconnect with your inner consciousness and reconnect and celebrate each other. A Health Coach’s role is not to prescribe, diagnose, nor treat any specific condition—they support clients to implement sustainable lifestyle changes; implement recommendations by their healthcare team, providing encouragement, accountability, and motivation to create healthier habits & live their best lives - adding Life to their years.
