About Jo

It all started when...

I enjoyed, and took for granted, good health in my childhood and up to my late 20's. I never gave health much thought as, in my mind, being sick was only for 'old people' and nothing a trip to the doctor wouldn't 'fix'.
 
In my early 20's I completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Auckland University then headed to London where I lived for nearly 4 years and found my 'dream' commercial career role. About 2 years into the big overseas experience 'OE' my health issues started and became chronic.  While conventional medicine has its place, a trip to the doctor did not help me on this occasion.  After I visited a nutritionist, that a friend recommended, my health started improving.  From then on I realised without health, I had nothing and so learning about natural solutions was the only way forward for me. There was no clear pathway but I have followed my heart and intuition so my return to health has perfectly unfolded.

I returned back to Auckland and knew I wanted to be a nutritionist.  While in the sauna at my gym, I overheard someone talking about Wellpark College. I went home and googled it.  Upon opening the website I was so excited, like I had found a pot of gold!   On my first visit to the college, I discussed the nutrition course with the coordinator. He said "what about naturopathy?" (which includes the study of nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy and many other modalities).  It was the first time I'd heard the word 'naturopathy' but at the time it blew my mind and opened a whole new world. I quickly signed up and a few years later graduated with a Bachelor of Naturopathy, Diploma in Nutrition and Diploma in Herbal Medicine.  
 
My journey of  personal experience, working with health professionals, study, clinical experience and being a naturopath at a leading health supplement company enabled me to get back to vibrant health.

I'm so passionate about natural health that I want to help you find your way to be the healthiest and happiest you. When you are in alignment with the laws of life, you can't help but feel great.

My health journey has been so profound that I have changed my whole way of thinking about health and my career path.
 
I look forward to joining you on your journey to health and happiness.
