About Me

I've always been interested in natural health as a consumer, and began to take an interest in nutrition in 1995 when I joined the gym, and we owned a bike shop. After following the low fat diet that I'd been recommended, plus training too hard, I developed chronic fatigue and began to study a more wholistic approach to nutrition. I learnt that most of what is commonly believed about nutrition is wrong, and wanted to make better information available.

So my website DietNet was born. I've now been studying and using the principles of whole food nutrition, metabolic typing, and avoiding food sensitivities for more than 10 years, and DietNet is 100 pages and still growing.

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 had been using EFT personally for nearly two years at that time, and could see how much it could help my nutrition clients. I studied all of Gary Craig's video sets and passed the EFT-CC and EFT-Adv exams. When I first started learning EFT, there was no training available here. There are now several qualified trainers teaching in NZ, and I've studied with 3 of them, to Level 3.

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 trained in Kinergetics. In 2009, I completed my certification in Kinesiology, and am a Chartered Natural Health practitioner. As part of my ongoing kinesiology training, I've completed various other kinesiology courses, including Wellnes Kinesiology and Foot Mobilisation.

I have also been using Reiki since 2001, and have trained to Degree Two. I trained in Philip Rafferty's Reset system for releasing tension in the TMJ in Feb 2008.

How I work

I approach each situation differently depending on the needs and desired outcomes of my client.

Sometimes, diet or EFT on their own is all that is needed. For other conditions, we'll start by looking at diet and lifestyle, then continue working with EFT. For pain from injuries, I'll often use both kinesiology and EFT. For allergies and sensitivities, using diet, EFT and kinesiology is a powerful combination.
