20 years ago my health was severely compromised. I was experiencing psoriasis, eczema, and constant fibromyalgia like pain throughout the body. Along with headaches, allergies and allergic rhinitis/ hay-fever - day to day living was an uphill struggle. I dreaded the monthly menses so much so I took the contraceptive pill continuously for 8 years straight!! To treat my condition, I was prescribed pharmaceuticals such as anti-depressants, beta-blockers (for anxiety), anti-histamines and steroid creams. These medicines seemed to help but when I stopped taking them the symptoms returned even worse than before. One day in utter despair- I sat before my GP crying that I didn't want to keep taking medicines and feeling so numb (the side effects of the anti-depressants I was on). He looked at me - with what felt like cold eyes and said "you need to get used to this- you will probably be on these medicines for the rest of you life". Pills and pain for the rest of my life?? It was like he had placed a ball and chain around my neck and given me a life sentence. I turned inwards and silently prayed . "If life is this hard I don't want to be here, show me another way because I can’t go on". I meant it, I had hit rock bottom. I felt like life was not worth living. Within a few weeks I stumbled across a naturopath in his 70's and so my education in natural approaches first began. He taught me that the drugs prescribed by well-meaning doctors were suppressing my symptoms but not able to eliminate the root cause of disease. He explained that the steroid creams I was using only appeared to miraculously eliminate my eczema and psoriasis rashes. |
In fact, they were just pushing the disease deeper into the body's organs such as the lungs. This explained the wheezing, difficultly breathing and other side effects I was experiencing.
I discovered that the body has an innate healing ability. Instead of suppressing those unwanted symptoms, I learned how to support this innate healing ability by using natural medicines and natural self-healing methods. Small changes began to make a big impact and I became convinced in the power of nutritional therapy and herbal medicine. I come from a family with a history of doctors and believers in western medicine and they all discouraged me from pursuing alternatives. Back then nutritional medicine was not mainstream like it is now. They said : do you really think dietary changes can help you? I didn't try to change their minds I just held to my inner conviction and pursued an 8 year degree in the study in Nutritional Therapy, Herbal medicine, Kinesiology (from Chinese medicine) and Bach flower remedies. Now completely free of all pharmaceutical medicines; I feels the best I have ever felt and while life still throws the occasional curve ball - stress overload, overall, I continue to thrive. After opening a clinic in Marylebone, then Harley st, which meant long hours commute and time away from the family in 2014 ,I opened my practice near home, in Greenwich London, . I can't help but be passionate, excited, and highly motivated to share the methods I discovered that helped 9”¡7£’mmmm mmh I’ll j k ll lllooo ll mm You n : ) and I have travelled the world to work with the best practitioners in the fields of Chinese medicine, chiropractors, metaphysicians, and nutritionist. Now with 15+ years experience, I love to use a holistic approach to helping my patients. As a result, the treatment is formed on the back bone of nutritional therapy and herbal medicine. It is complimented by a combination of advanced energy medicine techniques (bio-resonance, vibrational medicine and spiritual psychotherapeutics) for a complete and holistic treatment. |
