I am an Alternative Health practitioner working from Synergy Holistix and The Center of Advanced Medicine, in Johannesburg. I am passionate about my work, and I have over 20 years experience in a wide variety of modalities including Therapeutic Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Therapeutic Massage, CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Live and Dry Blood Analysis, DNAlysis, Metaphysical Counseling and I am currently in the process of certifying as a TRE provider. I hold a Masters Degree from The University of Johannesburg, in the field of Alternative Health research, a Masters Degree in Metaphysical Science, from the University of Metaphysics and a Ph.D in Holistic Life Counseling from The University of Sedona.
My focus and area of special interest is on the inextricable link between the nervous system, the gut microbiome and immune and inflammation levels. The modalities I practice, allow for a well rounded, holistic approach to my patients health. I consult for a prominent academic and functional medicine specialist physician and endocrinologist Dr Sindeep Bhana, who is passionate about functional medicine and the gut microbiome.

This is my story...
After 8 years in private practice, I stopped practicing the healing sciences and arts, due to being unable to physically manage myself and what was required of me on a physical level. I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease, Fibromyalgia, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue. I spent approximately two years in bed, feeling desperate and depressed. I felt my life was over. I was later diagnosed with latent onset Type 1 Diabetes. This was the last straw, and the illusions of my life shattered. Its was at this point that I began to understand the trauma - auto-immune link experientially, and I knew that I had the tools to heal my life. It was a humbling and empowering experience. I knew then that I had so much to offer the world. I focused on eating a clean diet, exercising, meditating and working on self development and facing the traumas of the past. I was managing and THRIVING with so many conditions, it had to serve a greater purpose! At this point my clinical practice changed direction. I wanted to help people who have experienced trauma, and the trauma was manifesting in auto-immune issues and general nervous system dysregulation. I noticed that it was difficult to shift the nervous system out of the fight / flight / freeze state without addressing the gut microbiome.
This inspired me to look even deeper into the link between the gut microbiome and immunity, mental health, trauma, stress and pain management. This lead me to study at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the world’s leading school in Nutritional Psychology where I received my certification as an Eating Psychology Coach. The skills I use from this training are a combination of practical coaching techniques, results-oriented psychology, clinical nutrition, body-centered practices, mind-body science, and a positive and compassionate approach to challenges with food and health. I purchased a microscope, and certified in Live and dry blood analysis through Neogenesis Heath, and I certified as a DNAlysis provider to complement this holistic approach, as it provides deeper insight into my patients challenges, as well as DNA specific supplementation and dietary advice.
I have since studied Metaphysics, which has broadened my perspective in all areas of Life. I am passionate about helping people fulfill their potential by working through the blocks and false belief systems that are holding them back in life. We all know that our state of mind and what we think manifests into physical form, for example, mental stress and overwhelm can manifests as a stomach ulcer. Metaphysics answers the "mind-creates-matter" questions, and I have enjoyed using live blood analysis to prove how a change of mindset, and self forgiveness causes a shift which is seen in the blood within an hour.
