Nutrition
I have a huge passion for understanding health status and biochemical imbalances of the human body, and have for 3 years studied at the College of Naturopathic medicine to become a nutritional practitioner.
Understanding the impact that food can have on a person’s health is vital, as good nutrition is fundamental to good health. It is therefore important to have optimum health, as this helps to reduce the risk of getting a large number of diseases.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease” - Thomas Edison.
Beauty Therapy
Elemis is the Award-winning skincare that I both retail and use throughout my therapies.
Elemis is a skin wellness brand with an aromatherapist’s soul, an artist’s spirit, and a scientist’s commitment to results. The dynamic ingredients can be trusted for its purity, integrity and efficiency. It is also not tested on animals.
Zoya is a chemical free nail polish, and OPI are the nail polishes used within a manicure and pedicure. Shellac is a patent pending UV3 technology that combines the ease of polish with the permanence of gel. Shellac is UV cured so ZERO drying time; it is hypoallergenic and free from formaldehyde, toluene and Dibutyl Phthalate. It is thin and flexible like a polish, and provides a natural nail protection for 14 days with high gloss shine.
