'My own journey- both back to health and to becoming a natural health practitioner and writer - has been an unusual one. I originally trained as a doctor, then later as a naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist. More recently, after many years of meditation, I trained as a mindfulness and meditation teacher and published the book A Week of Mindful Eating<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My approach to health is to combine the traditional wisdom of holistic healing with scientifically validated treatments - and then add a pinch of mindfulness. As a child, I had gut issues which lasted until I discovered herbal medicine and wholefoods. By changing my whole way of eating and living, these issues resolved. This left me pain-free for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, as a busy and stressed out junior doctor, a ten day, silent retreat introduced me to an inner stillness and silence I had never experienced before. This converted me to being a lifelong meditator. Now my passion is to share these simple ways of healing - and living - with others through my writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So while the clinic is closing, I\u2019m not disappearing completely. I\u2019ll be continuing to write and share ideas about health, wellbeing and life more broadly. If you\u2019d like to stay connected, you\u2019re warmly invited to follow my writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the upcoming days, I'll be adding health tips and longer in-depth articles on various conditions to Natural Health Notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
