Always A Mater Girl

She trusted her instincts, remained open to new possibilities and eventually found her passion in natural health.

I graduated from Mater Christi College in 2013 as College Captain, all set to begin university with my first preference. I quickly realised that uni-life was very different to what I expected and the course I had chosen wasn’t taking me in the career direction I originally envisaged for myself.  

So, after one year, I decided to defer. Instead, I found full-time work in the Allied Health industry, saving money for a solo trip around Europe. During that time, I explored other interests and listened out for new and different opportunities around me. It was a stressful time as I knew I needed to find something sooner rather than later!  

I eventually ended up at an Open Day for a small college I’d never heard of before! From that day, I knew this college was for me and I enrolled in a Naturopathy Degree. Over those 4 years I discovered and relished a new-found passion for natural health, herbal medicine and nutrition. I finished my degree at the end of 2019 and have since started my own Naturopathy practice at two different locations.  

Though it didn’t go quite in the direction that I expected, I have ended up where I’m meant to be: a naturopath who is lucky enough to help patients with their health every day.
