The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
I am not a doctor or a healer. I practise iridology, sclerology and help others to improve their health and wellness naturally. The knowledge I have comes from courses, studies and various retreats from all over the world. A lot of the time it’s simple common sense, which we have simply forgotten as a society that relies heavily on pills, creams and pharmaceuticals as the magic bullet to end our ailments. This stigma is hard to overcome and not everyone will be convinced, but that’s OK. The proof is the outcomes.
Clients who come to see me have usually been on multiple paths or find themselves going in circles and are open to try natural alternatives, which in most cases are the solution they need. I have no magic bullet or pill, but I have knowledge to help them implement changes which improve their life.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
I’m a social worker by education. Before starting my own business, I was a typical 9-5 employee who didn’t worry about the background work that comes with running your own business. I was also home at the same time each day, had annual leave and never worked weekends.
However, what it does do is provide me with the freedom to work my own hours and see clients when it suits me and my family. I’m still working out all the kinks and I’m sure that’s something that will continue as things evolve, but it’s rewarding and not something I want to change.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
My main aim is to help my clients, kids and adults alike. In order to do this, I will continue to study, do courses and learn from others, something that will simply be ongoing.
I have many dreams, big and small, and they vary from things such as facilitating regular retreats, to a café where the menu does not involve chicken nuggets and fries as a standard item for kids (I mean what are we teaching them if this is the only thing that is available to them?), to run a health hub where all your needs are met in one place to eliminate frustration, time wasting and confusion for parents. These are only a few dreams I mention here. In addition, I run educational seminars for parents so would love to reach out to bigger audiences, bigger communities and possibly schools to teach the next generation about health and wellness.
