With over 20 years of experience in conventional and integrative medicine, I’ve dedicated my career to bridging the gap between evidence-based science and holistic wellness. My journey began as a Registered Nurse in Radiation Oncology, where I cared for patients facing some of the most complex health challenges. Throughout my time in the mainstream hospital system for 10 years, I saw resilience, strength, and deep suffering. And over time, I started to notice a pattern—patients returning, symptoms managed, but never truly healed. It became clear to me: treating the body alone wasn’t enough.
No matter whether I was in a hospital setting or exploring integrative medicine with nutraceuticals, the same issue kept arising: recurrence. The same cycles. The same pain. The only real, lasting transformation I witnessed came when people began addressing the emotional and energetic layers of healing—a truth that conventional medicine often overlooked.
My first real exposure to the complexities of mental health came through my brother, a well-respected primary school teacher and footballer in our small community who silently battled anxiety and depression for 14 years. To the world, he was strong, disciplined, and accomplished. But behind closed doors, he struggled within a system that too often focused on symptom suppression rather than true healing. I watched him cycle through treatments that never addressed the deeper emotional and nutritional imbalances affecting his well-being.
Losing him was devastating, but it became a turning point that reshaped my understanding of health. Just eight months later, my family faced another profound heart wrenching challenge—one that reinforced everything I was beginning to understand about the connection between emotional and physical health. It became painfully clear that healing is never just about treating symptoms; it requires a deeper understanding of how trauma, stress, and unresolved emotions manifest in the body.
At the time, I was already a mother to three young children, balancing the demands of family life with my career in Radiation Oncology Nursing. Witnessing these experiences firsthand pushed me to question everything I had been taught about health and healing. I knew there had to be a different way—one that truly considered the whole person.
This realization led me to explore Nutritional Medicine, where I began to see food as more than just sustenance—it was medicine. I pursued a Diploma of Nutritional Medicine, deepening my understanding of gut health, the mind-body connection, and the power of functional nutrition. This marked the beginning of my transition into a more integrative, compassionate, and holistic approach to health—one that I live and breathe every day.
Over time, my work expanded beyond the physical body. As I studied energy medicine, Reiki, and shamanic healing, I came to understand that true healing happens on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and energetic. In 2021, I completed my Health Coaching Certification with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), further refining my ability to guide others through profound transformation.

My evolution as a healing practitioner has been shaped by both science and intuition, leading me from conventional medicine to the deeper layers of holistic wellness:
Balanced by the Sea is inspired by the rhythms of Burleigh Heads, where the ocean meets the land in a constant flow of renewal. Every session, product, and moment in this space is intentionally crafted to help you return to balance, alignment, and your own inner knowing.
I still have the first-ever aromatherapy books I purchased back in my teens, sitting patiently on my bookshelf. It feels as if they’ve been waiting for me all along, waiting for me to reclaim them, to bring the magic of nature’s fragrance back to life and share it with you.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your health, it's time for something different. I invite you to step into a space where healing is not just about managing symptoms, but about reclaiming balance on every level—physical, emotional, and energetic.
This isn’t just about wellness—it’s about returning to yourself.
I see you. I honour your journey. And I’m here to walk beside you.
Let’s create wellness together.
