—  WELCOME  —

Hello and welcome to Living Lotus Naturopathy.

The idea behind Living Lotus Naturopathy is based on the principle of assisting people with their own ability to heal themselves by adopting a holistic approach to self-care.

With the use of Naturopathic tools and the addition of complimentary therapies, maintaining a healthy body, mind and soul can be achieved by all.

I have been working for over twenty years as a Registered Nurse and for the past five years working as a Naturopath. Prior to this I completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts which highlights the diversity of my professional life, ‘combining both my love of the arts with my passion for caring’.

My academic achievements include an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy through the Australian Institute of Applied Science.

A Diploma of Remedial Massage specialising in Reflexology from the Natural Health Academy of Australia and a Bachelor of Nursing, from Charles Darwin University.
