: About Me

Hi, and thanks for reading my articles!

I'm a nutritionist-naturopath, a health coach who wants to show you how to feel fabulous, like you can't wait to bounce out of bed every morning to experience each new day. Lots of energy and happiness, no pain.

My journey towards what I do now emerged slowly, partly from learning how to successfully resolve my own chronic health issues that I inherited. (OK, my lifestyle in my earlier years didn't help!) Now I have enough energy to power a small substation, and I want to show you how to feel just as good.

Becoming a writer was a gradual process too, starting when I began writing a weekly health column for my local paper several years ago. I'm still writing it, and still get stopped in the street by people who want to talk about something I wrote. (By the way, I love receiving feedback about my Helium articles too!)

I love being self employed, particularly the freedom it gives me. In my spare time I enjoy boxing, running, cooking food, eating food, and listening to beautiful classical music and opera. And reading what others have written as well.

My passion is ...

Helping you feel more energetic and full of beans than ever before.

I know too much about ...

how my body works to ever feel complacent with my nutrition and fitness

My parents always told me ...

You're very bright! (so did my teachers, it helped a lot)

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a vet! (To my surprise I love treating people instead)

My favorite memory ...

Is of swimming in the rock pools in the ocean near where I grew up

Why I write ...

I love explaining complex body processes in a language everyone can understand.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Motivational texts. Business and marketing web sites. The occasional novel. Classical music. No, I don't watch medical shows on TV - needles make me go all dizzy!

My first job ...

In the local cafe serving ice creams and milkshakes. I make a better health coach.

My best moment ...

happens whenever one of my clients says "I feel better already" after a session with me.

My inspiration ...

Cate Blanchett. I am in awe. Smart, beautiful inside and out, and following her passion. What a woman!

Health & Fitness > Vitamins & Dietary Supplements The benefits of vitamin E

6 of 6

Ever wondered why vitamin E is so often available as a vitamin E cream? And why this is such a valuable nutrient for the health of your cells? Read on and I will explain. Because vitamin E is so widely available in food its unusual to encounter someone with a frank deficiency, although this vitamin is often used therapeutically by naturopaths as a supplement (usually alongside other nutrients). This is one of the rare vitamins that you can absorb through your skin and mucous membranes, hence its popularity as an ointment. Once in your body, one of the main tasks of vitamin E is to help pre...
