About Me

Hello there!

I am a Chiropractor who has mastered Applied Kinesiology, a technique based on functional muscle testing. I am a founding member of the Retained Neonatal Reflexes Technique and love assisting little people to function better. I see a lot of adults as well but children really are my passion.

Thanks for visiting my page.

Since you’ve stumbled upon my page you’ve probably been looking into some of the things that I’m passionate about.

Is it the amazing absorbent gel for the gut called Enterosgel®? Or Chiropractic?  Are you one of my existing patients, or someone who is just getting curious about what else there is to try, or who else there is to see? My interests in learning difficulty and developmental delay have attracted to me thousands of children who I’ve been able to assist in this area.  Or are you a health professional interested in learning Applied Kinesiology or Retained Neonatal Reflexes techniques, or more about the clinical applications of Enterosgel®?

Follow me so I can share some of my insights with you.

I’m now, as of August 2018, working clinically from a bright and vibrant clinic in Chermside West called Align & Shine.  Visit alignandshine.me for more information or check out some of my other sites listed below.

Skills

Business Development

I founded an award winning Chiropractic healthcare clinic in 2005.  It grew to employ five Chiropractors and twelve support staff.  Together we treated in excess of 18,000 patient appointments annually. I sold the business in 2016.

2018 saw me roll out an amazingly innovative healthcare product for the gut called Enterosgel®.  Available already in 40 countries, Australians are be blessed to have it available locally, filling clinics, pharmacies and stores from April, 2018.  This business will be B2B focussing on the support and education of healthcare professionals interested in Enterosgel®.

Teaching

I love the symbiotic relationship I have with my students. A room a-buzz with people eager to learn what I know, while I get a kick out of sharing my knowledge and experiences with patient care and business development.  The sharing of ideas and real-life applications has taken me to the stage for community talks, healthcare industry seminars, as well as international congresses.

Chiropractic Skills

Diagnostics using functional neurology and manual muscle testing along with manual Chiropractic adjusting skills has held me in good stead to influence the function and wellbeing of my patients since 2002.  I see anyone with a body! From athletes at the top of their careers, sports people after their careers, active people, sedentary people, elderly people, middle aged people, and of course, I see lots and lots of little people.

Event Co-Ordination

There’s nothing quite like a deadline to get you focussed, and events are like a deadline that go off with a BANG! I love the build up and crescendo that event management brings to my life.

2018

Since April this year when Enterosgel® hit our shores, we have seen a natural and dynamic enthusiasm for this intestinal absorbent gel.  Since launching at the ACNEM AGM in Melbourne this year, our distribution network is growing and select clinics, pharmacies and stores are now stocking Enterosgel. It is available to anyone from 1 year old without a prescription.  I welcome you to contact me about purchasing Enterosgel at wholesale prices.

Enterosgel was a proud sponsor of NIIM – National Institute of Integrative Medicine’s AGM Conference in Melbourne in November.

Enterosgel® is being distributed through Oborne Health Supplies, NaturalChemist.com.au, Vital.ly, and FxMed (NZ). I am regularly presenting webinars on Enterosgel to sales reps and professionals.  Contact me if you’d like to know more.

Employment

EnterosOzDirector,
Retail and Practitioner Support
2018-

We are Australia’s exclusive wholesale distributor of Enterosgel®.  We are strictly Business-to-Business.

This drug-free tasteless gel is an absolute god send for anyone with stomach and intestinal illness symptoms.  It works in such a gentle, yet effective way, it can be used during pregnancy, while breastfeeding and for children from one year old.  In a nutshell, it absorbs certain particles in the gut so your body doesn’t!  This means the substances that are irreversibly bound to the gel pass out of your body with your stool.

This explanation may sound overly basic (and it is) but the clinical and surgical applications for Enterosgel® will have you see that we have never had a product like this in Australia.  Healthcare Professionals – send me a message using the form below to find out more.

My role is to enable local access to Enterosgel®  for all Australians by keeping clinics, pharmacies, and other resellers knowledgable and well stocked.

Align & ShineFounder,
Chiropractor
2018-

I just can’t help it. Creating yet another clinic is what brings me alive. While I love crafts and am great with my hands, I came to realise when young that drawing and painting is not a gift, skill or talent for me to behold.  When I was older though, I realised my businesses are my canvas and I give each of them a personality which blossoms as they grow.

Align & Shine opened in Chermside West (Brisbane) in August 2018.

Brilliance ChiropracticFounder, Chiropractor2018- March to July

Meant to be…

Jani, a sought after psychologist set up a beachy, enlightening and soothing centre called Brilliance Counselling and Consultancy in the heart of Redcliffe. A few years later, I dreamt of setting up a new clinic named Brilliance Chiropractic and pursued the registration and design of the new place and I dreamt I’d start off small, in an existing health centre and grow from there.  Incredibly, Jani and I met via Gumtree in January 2018 when I stumbled upon her ad for a room to let in her business, and from there a beautiful association formed.  It was an easy decision to join her practice, like it was a match made in heaven.

I ceased treating at Brilliance at the end of July 2018 to reestablish my clinic in North Brisbane.

Your Body WorksFounder, Chiropractor2005-2018

What a wonderful place to work! I can’t come to this clinic and not feel happy. It’s decorated for the hundreds of children who get treated here. I’ve been privileged to watch so many families blossom through the stages of infancy to teens. They feel like family.

My job here as Chiropractor has been to train my Chiropractic Associates, Chiropractic Assistants and support staff. To keep the standards high, the team managed and motivated, and the clinic excelling.  In July 2016 I sold this business and continued on as an Associate Chiropractor until February 2018.

North Sydney Spine & Health CentreAssociate Chiropractor2004-2005

I learned a lot from my mentor Dr Adam Meredith here.  He taught me how to think like a business woman, which was exactly what I needed for my next move.

Vital Synergy CentreAssociate Chiropractor2003-2004

Working under Dr Keith Keen has been the greatest gift I could have imagined first year out of University.  He taught me his life’s learnings and I have treasured them. He taught me that the greatest gift for any teacher is to have their student surpass them.  He taught me how to be an ego free teacher, share my knowledge unreservedly with those who ask, and how to live without expectations. He shaped me into the practitioner and teacher I have become.

Macquarie University Chiropractic Skills Tutor and Examiner2002

What an honour to be invited to tutor and examine 2nd year Chiropractic Skills whilst in my final year of my Masters of Chiropractic.  And what a delightful bunch of students we had that year!
