Summary

I am currently looking for work in the health and wellness field. I am a qualified Nutritional Therapist, having studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as a yoga teacher, with a strong interest in science - based approaches to wellness. Originally coming from an Art background, and whilst having worked in various operational/ managerial roles, I first discovered my passion for wellbeing in my early twenties. I felt a calling to direct my energy into a different area of meaning. My aim is to support others as they re-discover their bodies' innate intelligence and its capacity to heal itself. I am hardworking, creative, organised and diligent, open and friendly. I work well individually and as part of a team.
