Wellness on Hopetoun

As founder of Teoma Health, I've spent more than 8000 hours helping clients overcome a broad range of mental and physical health issues.

From depressive moods, stress, insomnia, anxiety, and eating disorders:

Through to thyroid disorders, diabetes, gut issues, arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, and menopause.

As a qualified Clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath my journey into health started with my own health battles.

In my mid-twenties after suffering a serious knee injury while skiing, surgeons found an issue with my bones.

What they didn't know was the cause of the bone deterioration.

It was a secret I had kept from everyone. I had an eating disorder.

But the true cost of that decision was now being realised. My bones were paying the price for the lack of nutrition my body had received. 

So, my fascination with health began. I left my career in finance in the pursuit for answers about how to sustain a healthier way of living.

On my journey to becoming a qualified Naturopath and Nutritionist I learnt three important lessons.

1. Food is the greatest medicine available to the human body.

2. You don't achieve long-term health by following short-term diets.

3. We can discover a true love for food without being obsessed and enjoy what we eat instead of feeling controlled by the choices we make.

As a mother of 3 I have seen first-hand the healing power of food.

My first two children, twin boys, were born with a rare chromosomal abnormality. Doctors predicted they would experience a host of health challenges throughout their lives.

Today their level of health is considered a miracle in medical circles. The fact is that integrative medicine', such as Naturopathy and Nutrition in combination with Western medicine, has enabled us to dramatically improve their wellbeing.

If you want to talk to someone who will take the time and listen. Someone who will help you identify the root cause and set a personalised plan to help your body to heal, then I am here for you.
