I grew up in sunny South Africa and was already studying homoeopathy in Durban when I first came into contact with Chiropractic. It improved things and left such an impression on me that I decided to change my path of study and train to be a Chiropractor.

Choosing to become a chiropractor has had a profound effect on my life and that of my family. It is not just a career you have chosen but a lifestyle choice. Chiropractic views health holistically and we follow the principle that dis-ease and then disease is as a result of a combination of 3 stressors on the body, physical, chemical and emotional stressors. If you aim to live your life keeping these three areas under control you will be healthy.

For me that involves having regular chirorpactic adjustments, swimming or running daily and making sure we cook from scratch always. A house rule is we have to have something green at each meal (much to my husbands disgust!)

Reducing chemical stressors on my family has also been a mini mission of mine. We have Riverford organic veg boxes and I try my hardest to buy the best quality grassfed meat. I aim as much as possible to keep anything in or on our bodies paraben and SLE free too, as well as as chemical free from glysophates. NYR has fit the bill with regards to this.
