About me

I am an integrative medical doctor committed to healing and bringing heart back into the art of medicine. My medical training was a step towards my true vocation as a facilitator of health and a catalyst for change.

My Story

My healing philosophy is based on the partnership between doctor and patient who I believe are co-creators in the journey of health. It honours the inextricable connection between body, mind, heart and nature. I work with a methodology that supports the body’s self-healing ability and that is underpinned by evidence-based principles of healing.

​Through individual consultations, talks, the facilitation of workshops, training, retreats and my writing, I present a framework of understanding illness and health through the multidimensional lens of western medicine, nature principles, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom traditions, leaving you more inspired and committed to living with optimum health and open-hearted resilience.

My first book BREATHE: Strategising Energy in the Age of Burnout brings all these principles together in an easy-to-use guide to optimum energy and health.

I have a special interest in the art and science of conscious breathing as a medicine and tool for growth and change. Breathwork Africa is an organisation founded from my passion for sharing this powerful and empowering tool with every person.

​I live in the vibrant African city of Johannesburg and my practice is based at The Sanctuary in Houghton Estate, Johannesburg.
