I&#8217;ve learned a lot and want to share that knowledge with you. I believe it is more important to sort out lifestyle issues than to just trough down loads of pills. But once that&#8217;s sorted, judicious use of the appropriate supplements can be very helpful.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been interested in natural health as a consumer, and began to take an interest in nutrition in 1996 when I joined the gym, and we owned a bike shop. After following the low fat diet that I&#8217;d been recommended, plus training too hard, I developed chronic fatigue and began to study a more holistic approach to nutrition. I learnt that most of what is commonly believed about nutrition is wrong, and wanted to make better information available.<\/p>\n<p>So DietNet was born. I&#8217;ve now been studying and using the principles of whole food nutrition, metabolic typing, and avoiding food sensitivities for nearly 20 years, and DietNet is 100 pages and still growing.<\/p>\n<p>I got so many emails from people wanting nutritional help, that I studied for a Diploma in Nutrition and Natural Therapies and started my Health Therapies practice at the end of 2003. I tend to work a lot\u00a0with people with gut issues, food sensitivities, and chronic illnesses. When I learnt about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gapsnz.info\" target=\"_blank\">GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome)<\/a> in 2009, I tracked down the book (which was hard to find at that time!) and started using the principles with my clients. In 2012, I trained with Dr Natasha to be a certified GAPS practitioner.<\/p>\n<p>I started my training in kinesiology in 2004 at the Wellington School of Massage, with Reactive Muscle Kinesiology. In 2005, I studied Touch For Health, and in 2006 added in Kinergetics. Since then I have studies many other forms of kinesiology and have been a Certified Natural Health Practitioner in Energy Kinesiology since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>I had been using EFT personally for nearly two years by 2003, and could see how much it could help my nutrition clients. I studied all of Gary Craig&#8217;s video sets and passed the EFT-CC and EFT-Adv exams.\u00a0When I first started learning EFT, there was no training available here. There are now several qualified trainers teaching in NZ, and I&#8217;ve studied with 3 of them, to Level 3.<\/p>\n<p>I have also been using Reiki since 2001, and have trained to Degree Two.<\/p>\n<p>I live in Wellington, New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1157\" src=\"http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7246b\" width=\"2654\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b.jpg 2654w, http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b-300x85.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b-768x217.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/dietnet\/files\/2015\/10\/IMG_7246b-1024x289.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2654px) 100vw, 2654px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, here&#8217;s a bit of background about this site and myself The main aim of this site is to disseminate information, particularly information that may be hard to find.
