LAKE SPA PRACTITIONERS

I have a personal interest in health. I am qualified in Fitness Leadership and Personal Training and since 2000 have been a Personal Trainer at fitness centres in the Newcastle area. I furthered my education by completing the School of Integrated Body Therapy's Diploma of Remedial Massage and am qualified in Therapeutic, Remedial and Trigger Point Therapy.

The two qualifications go hand in hand and I can share with you my knowledge of exercise and fitness to assist in the prevention and recovery of injury. I look forward to assisting you.

From an early age I grew up with an understanding of natural therapies and knowing the benefits of massage as my mother is also a massage practitioner. Being treated for sports injuries along with maintenance work since I was young, I always had an interest in the mechanics of the human body. I have always been interested in studying in the health field and endeavour to constantly increase my knowledge with continuing education, my long term goal being to study a Bachelor Degree in Chiropractic.

I have a Diploma of Remedial Massage and am qualified in Therapeutic, Remedial and Trigger Point Therapy.

Michelle qualified as a registered Naturopath in 1995. After spending time in her clinic in Sydney she travelled overseas, studying Kinesiology in England and teaching Touch For Health courses in Ireland. She also spent 6 months in Africa spending some time with natural healers in remote villages in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. On returning to Australia Michelle resumed private practice in Sydney before moving to the Central Coast in 2003. She has over 7 years experience working in health food shops which has provided her with extensive knowledge of the many natural therapy products and supplements available.

With 2 children of my own I have a passion for children’s health and wellbeing. I have had extensive clinical experience with conditions like Type 11 Diabetes; thyroid problems; stress and adrenal exhaustion; eczema and psoriasis; irritable bowel and coeliacs disease; hormonal problems including menopause and polycystic ovarian disorder. And for weight loss you can’t beat the detail and motivation provided by the body composition test!

My aim is to raise awareness and help people gain a greater understanding of themselves. The more we know about ourselves, the more we can do for ourselves.

Finding the unique picture for each individual is the basis for understanding what will best suit a person and building on regular healthy lifestyle choices to aim for true wellness.

My personal journey has always been towards wholeness in Mind-Body-Spirit, thus enabling me to support clients into the same sense of well-beingness.

I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have had many experiences and teachers from all walks of life. I utilise these with clients when they come to me for therapy whether it be mind, body or spirit and have witnessed healing on both levels.

Throughout my journey as a Therapist, one of my main beliefs is that ultimately we all can heal - how long, how hard, how easy, how quick is as unique as each client. As a therapist my commitment is to "be there" for my client and to support them on their journey.

I would like to meet you some time, as a client, student or at one of my workshops in relaxation, meditation, Shamanic Healing, Drumming, Creative Sound and Dance, Native American Craft.
