Paul is an experienced naturopath, nutritionist, herbalist, homoeopath, remedial masseur & iridologist, having first commenced practice in 1986. He also has a wealth of knowledge about, and a long history of involvement in the area of sports nutrition & sports training, being an experienced marathon kayak paddler[1] holding a second Dan black belt in traditional Shotokan karate, and having extensive experience in using resistance training to enhance his performance in those sports.

For many years Paul had a successful naturopathic practice in a country town in Victoria, with a client base of around 6000 people in a township with a population of only 12000. His business was approximately evenly divided between two key areas, which are to this day his passion in the area of health management:


1. Firstly as a naturopath, using natural approaches for the treatment of the same sort of general health problems for which people often consult a medical practitioner. During one year in the late 1980s Paul was a lecturer to the part-time students at the Southern School of Natural Therapies in the subject "Clinical Diagnosing & Prescribing".

2. Secondly as an experienced remedial massage therapist (using Goltech®) in the treatment of tendon, ligament and muscular problems in every part of the body, including the back & neck, the upper limbs including shoulder, elbow, wrist & hand, and the lower limbs including hip, knee and ankle & foot.

Helen is a registered psychologist who has a heart for people. For five years she worked at a counselling service on Bribie Island during which she obtained invaluable experience working with a wide variety of people of all ages and from all walks of life.

For two of those years she volunteered her services at Bribie Island State School (primary), assisting staff with both life issues and the stress of the job, as well as consulting with difficult students and advising staff about the best way to approach them, thereby easing difficulties in behaviour management and enhancing the ongoing education of those students. Her qualifications and experience, firstly as a primary school teacher in Victoria, and secondly as a psychologist both served to enhance her capacity to fulfil her role in the school.

For 2 years Helen worked full-time as a psychologist with Queensland Health, counseling both the teenage & young adult victims of drug & alcohol abuse and their parents. In late 2008 Helen made the transition to full time private practice.

In the midst of her busy schedule, Helen is finding the time to undertake further study in her area of special interest, which is Educational & Developmental Psychology.
