My journey with health and fitness started way back in the 70’s when I qualified as an aerobics instructor with Keep Fit International and went on to teach aerobics at Maritzburg Gym, Carbineer’s Drill Hall and some of the schools in and around Pietermaritzburg.

I followed up with studies involving Nutritional Eating Plans and attended Wellness Workshops, during this time I also trained as a Nutritional Consultant at Vitaforce  & Bettaway—studying the effects of vitamin & herbs on the human body.

Early 1990’s I qualified in Reflexology, Aromatherapy and Natural Health Nutrition at the Natural Health and Beauty School founded by Cecilia Salveson.  Cecilia Salveson is a Qualified Therapeutic Aromatherapist and Reflexologist and Practitioner of Complementary Medicine. She is the founder of the Natural Health and Beauty School in South Africa and is also the Regional Director for the International School of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy. 
​
​She has written numerous books and articles.  I continued to practice as a Nutritional advisor, and also attended lectures on Natural Health Nutrition focusing on guidelines to healthy eating to restore and maintain homeostasis. The lectures also covered foods to avoid in relation to building up a lowered immune system relating in allergy related conditions, Candida albicans, auto immune diseases and other imbalances caused by stored toxins which congest and impede the normal function of the body.

2003—2009 I relocated to the UK and attended courses on the effects of obesity for humans in conjunction to training in formulating personal weight loss programmes & healthy eating plans for teens and adults. The programmes were formulated taking consideration to lifestyle, medical history & food dislikes. 2005 I qualified in formulating personalized eating plans and specialised  in consulting one on one with my clients, both in clinic & on line.  I consulted  with approximately 30 overweight clients daily during this period in the UK and continued practicing in Durban when I returned from the UK 2009

I continued to study as an Advanced Weight loss Practitioner with The Health Sciences Academy to keep abreast of the best, most reliable, science-based information which I am happy to pass onto my clients.
