About Me
I was born and educated in Germany, studied French in the South of France and have spent many years travelling the World before settling in the UK to study Herbal Medicine.
I gained my Diploma in Phytotherapy (Plant Medicine) in 2000 at the prestigious College of Phytotherapy in East Sussex, UK and initially practised Herbal Medicine in a busy Inner-City Clinic in Edinburgh/Scotland where I also helped set up a Free Clinic for low income earners, pensioners and students.
I moved to Australia in 2003 where I have done further studies in Progressive Kinesiology, graduating with a Diploma in 2012, and Aromatic Medicine, graduating with an Advanced Diploma in 2013. I am a registered and insured member of the National Herbalist Association of Australia (NHAA).
I see patients in my clinic on the Sunshine Coast and, due to popular demand, have also added Video Consultations as an option. Online Sessions enable me to treat you from the comfort of your home and work, or if you live Interstate and Overseas. Both Consultations are as effective.
I believe in the power of knowledge and its ability to transform lives.
Through regular Live Webinars and Live Q&A Events in my Facebook Group ‘Natural Health Support Hub’, I bring you expert insights and practical tips on a wide range of health topics, empowering you to take control of your well-being.
In addition to running regular Online Events, I am also a Presenter at Community Events, reaching out to a wider audience and spreading awareness about the importance of healthy diet, lifestyle and a positive mindset.
And I am beyond excited to announce that I have a new role as guest lecturer at ABBMA and Aminya Academy. It is such a privilege of support and inspire students, guiding them towards a fulfilling career in Natural Health.
I am a great supporter of Integrative Medicine, and strongly encourage a cooperative working relationship between Medical Doctors and Natural Health Practitioners.
As a busy Mum of three girls, I understand the pressure that comes with running a hectic household and paying bills, which is why I use a realistic treatment approach that suits your family budget.
And … last but not least … I LOVE Food, having time with my beautiful family, catching up with friends, yoga, ocean swims, horse riding and having fun in the sun with our dog Lizzie.
Testimonial
Connie is extremely thorough in obtaining her client’s background information to diagnose and follow up. I admire the fact that she keeps her plans simple, relevant and realistic and does not over prescribe.
I recently took my 84 year old mother for a consultation with Connie. Mum has not had much to do with complimentary therapies, but was very impressed with Connie’s approach, professionalism and plan which still incorporated mum’s prescription medicine.
Connie’s support and follow up is exceptional and I would thoroughly recommend her services.
