I was searching for the perfect place to set up an alternative therapies Centre in Muswellbrook with my friend Anita. We checked out 196 Bridge St a few times and when it was still for sale a few months later we decided this was the place for us. That was 24 years ago and much water under the bridge since then. I remember our Opening near Xmas and I got some fellow Practitioners to plant a Ginkgo tree and you should see how big it is now!

Many Practitioners and staff have passed through our doors and thousands of clients and customers. We opened THE Centre to service the people of the Upper Hunter with Herbalists, Naturopaths, Massage and Bowen therapists, Hypnotists, Psychologists and so many other varied modalities. 

I make a range of Herbal products for my clients, students and customers to help their various needs and this has blossomed into a busy mail service. I’ve also written many books and produced a DVD. They are all about weeds, herbs and natives anad practical ways of using them. I also love teaching and have run many workshops and courses at THE Centre and now teach further afield.   

Personally, I qualified in 1989 as a Herbalist and have done further courses to qualify as an Iridologist, Reflexologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I am a Board member of Estuary Learning and a Vice President and Treasurer for Indigenous Plants for Health Association. I live with my husband on a bush block surrounded by Wollemi National Park at Martindale near Denman. I have two children and two gorgeous grand daughters.
