Qualifications and Experience

There is no denying it.  I was that child that always asked ‘why’.  I’m now the adult who needs to critically analyse all information given to me.  This often earns me the title of a forever student with my family, colleagues and patients.  Albeit I have attended, certified, and/or qualified within various health and wellness disciplines, I always approach each subject matter with the mindset of challenging the information distributed against the evidence based science.
