About

I had a brilliant 40-year career in the health and wellness industry, helping people with fitness, weight management, lifestyle adjustments, corporate health, and stress management, but that did not prepare me for the shocking degradation of my own mind and body I was starting to experience.

In 2005 after a period of prolonged stress and a series of post travel illnesses, I started to have an unusual number of medical issues. For someone in the health and fitness industry who ran complex businesses with multiple staff, leading fitness classes and running 5-10 kms daily, I was completely perplexed. Why was my previously strong, healthy body suddenly not coping with even the most basic tasks of life?

I found, to my frustration, that the medical profession in Australia (as well as many other countries) didn’t or wouldn’t recognise Lyme Disease, and that started me on another journey, seeing dozens of doctors and specialists and desperately trying to piece together my own treatment plan to get well. I had multiple Emergency room visits and surgeries and I wasn’t getting any better.

With the constant fatigue of Lyme disease and just trying to keep my head above water, it became so exhausting and expensive to do this in Australia. With all my efforts I hadn’t really felt any gains with the piece meal therapies… so I had to re-evaluate my approach, or I would continue to worsen, things were looking pretty bleak.  And that’s when I began looking overseas at specialist clinics. I found there were many clinics around the world with vastly varied treatments, all proclaiming cures for my condition.

Along my journey I met and spoke to many people from around the world who had the same frustrations and issues with finding their way through Lyme disease. And I began to work as a wellness ambassador liaising with clinics, integrative doctors and therapists to try and help sufferers find the best solution for their personal journey.

Throughout my recovery, not one doctor had provided me with the solution to my illness. They may have helped with small pieces of the jigsaw, but it has been my own relentless desire and belief that I could overcome this illness that has ultimately led to my recovery.

Five years on and I have worked with and been treated at many clinics around the world and now I am using what I have learned to help others navigate their recovery journey in a streamlined, efficient and wisest way possible. Saving them the financial and time-consuming rigour and heartache of where best to go for appropriate treatment.  Treatment that will allow them to get their quality of life back and finally laugh again…
