About
I qualified as a nurse at Lincoln Institute in 1984, the first college base nursing training in Victoria. Then after travelling around Australia for four years working as a nurse in most states, I went on to teach yoga in Asia.
On my return I completed a Bachelor of Health Science at Southern School of Natural Therapies (SSNT) and also certified as a Massage Therapist.
I decided to further study homeopathy by completing a Post Graduate Diploma of Homeopathy at the Homeopathic Education and Research Association (HERA). Later I qualified in the healing Modalities of Reiki 1 and 2, and Magnified Healing.
Kinergetics one and two were also completed - a concise form of Kinesiology.
Recently I became certified in Hahnemann Healing.
Currently, l am a member of: Australian Natural Therapist Association (ANTA); Australian Register of Homeopaths (AROH); Iyengar Yoga Australia (IYA); Usui System of Healing; Australian Kinergenics Association; Sphinx School of Learning.
Alpha House Yoga was established in 1990 and continues to offer a nurturing and supportive space for growth and healing. I currently teach yoga classes and offer healing sessions beachside in Bonbeach, creating a peaceful environment for practice and restoration.
I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and regularly travel to Pune, India, to train with the Iyengar family, maintaining a dedicated and ongoing personal practice. I completed a Vipassana meditation course at Chang Mai in 1990 and went on to briefly live with the local nuns and monks. I continued to meditate for many years and now teach meditation in class.
My classes focus on inspiring students to develop a genuine passion for yoga and self-improvement. I guide each person to progress on their individual yoga journey, deepening their understanding of the body–mind–soul connection.
I specialise in supporting people with injuries, chronic conditions, and structural imbalances. My aim is to help reduce discomfort, encourage realignment, and ultimately improve quality of life through a mindful, therapeutic practice.
Pregnancy Yoga is also available through private classes as an individual or group.
My healing journey began in the 1980s with Reiki certification. I later completed a course in Magnified Healing® and, more recently, gained Hahnemann Healing accreditation.
Before fully dedicating myself to yoga and holistic health, I worked for 18 years as a Rehabilitation Nurse. During this time, I supported people recovering from motor vehicle accidents, including those with head injuries, burns victims, individuals withdrawing from drugs (I nursed on the initial Hospital Based, medically supervised trial), and people adjusting to limb loss. During COVID I was on the front line Covid testing and then worked as a Phlebitis. I am also a registered Naturopath with a science degree and Post Graduation qualifications in Homeopathy.
Over the years, I have additionally worked as a Massage Therapist and Kinesiologist.
YOGA
My qualifications: Teaching since 1990. Level 2 Iyengar teacher.
Member of Iyengar Yoga Australia
Yoga is the union of all the power of the body, mind and soul to a higher source or God.
Patanjali came to earth to give humans the 8 limbs of yoga; Yama, (Universal morals), Niyama (Self purification), Asana (posture), Pranayama (Rhythmic breath control), Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the senses), Dharana (Concentration), Dhyana (Meditation) and Samadhi (Enlightenment).
In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna explains to Arjuna the meaning of Yoga as a "deliverance from contact with pain and sorrow."
Iyengar Yoga is so named after BKS Iyengar who was classed by many as the leading authority on Yoga. He wrote many books on yoga and his most famous book "Light on Yoga" is used as the main text for most Yoga Schools throughout the world. He began yoga as a sickly child with tuberculosis and dysentry and through yoga was able to heal his lungs and body.
He was a householder with 5 children and built RIMI Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune - dedicated to his late wife. Iyengar Yoga is the fastest growing and most widespread form of Yoga, existing throughout many countries. In this style of yoga there is a great emphasis on alignment and precison. Props are used, when necessary to aid the Yogi in finding the best asana possible. Teachers are also trained to manage ailments of the body. To become a teacher the training is intense and takes decades to become a senior teacher. Guruji put in place a systematic, disciplic form of training directly given from Guru to teachers, teachers to students. This ancient form of teaching enables one to get the best yoga training.

HAHNEMANN HEALING
Sphinx school of Healing: Hahnemann Healing Certification
Hahnemann Healing is a gentle yet powerful healing method that focuses on releasing negative emotions and restoring positive, loving energy within the body and mind.
Over time, experiences in life can leave emotional imprints such as fear, anger, sadness, guilt, or resentment. These emotions can become stored in our energy field and may affect our wellbeing, relationships, and overall sense of balance.
During a Hahnemann Healing session, these negative emotional energies are identified and energetically cleared. As they are released, they are consciously replaced with positive emotions such as love, peace, compassion, confidence, and inner calm.
This process helps to shift emotional patterns, allowing you to feel lighter, more balanced, and more connected to your natural state of love and wellbeing.
Clients often choose Hahnemann Healing to help with:
Releasing stored negative emotions
Letting go of past emotional experiences
Restoring feelings of love, peace, and calm
Improving emotional balance
Supporting personal and spiritual growth
Each session provides a safe and supportive space for emotional healing, helping you move forward with greater clarity, positivity, and inner harmony.
HOMEOPATHY
Ba HSc Naturopathy (SSNT), Post Grad Dip Homeopathy (HERA)
Member: ANTA (Aust. Natural Therapist), AROH (Aust.Reg.Homeopathy)
As a Naturopath I found greater results with Homeopathy. Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing that works to support the body’s natural ability to restore balance and wellbeing. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, homeopathy looks at the whole person—physical, emotional, and mental.
During your 90-minute consultation, we explore your health concerns in depth, along with your medical history, lifestyle, and emotional patterns. This allows for a truly individualised approach, where a remedy is carefully selected to match your unique experience and You.
Homeopathic remedies are designed to stimulate the body’s own healing response, helping to bring the system back into balance in a natural and supportive way.
This session may support:
Physical and mental health concerns
Emotional wellbeing
Stress and overwhelm
Chronic, Acute Genetic Traits or recurring conditions
Overall balance and vitality
