Executive Caregiver

​From
​newborns to palliative care,
​my extensive training and experience has accrued a rather significant skill set.
Coupled with my
​empathetic care and
​a genuine desire to help,
​I bring an extremely high standard of professionalism.
​My default setting is cheerfulness,
amplified with a deep
sense of fun.
Laughter is a core part
​of my care.

Youthful Maturity

Not an oxymoron!
What a privilege to reach a point in your life whereby you feel bright and energetic,
​yet you have gained all the wisdoms of learning through the ages;
of building a career, raising a family
and having had a successful
​international recognition of your capacities.

Ever the Entrepreneur

Even since the early 80's, when I spent 3 years backpacking throughout South East Asia and along the way set up 'Kakadu Tours' in Northern Australia (taking backpackers out to the Kakadu National Park for 4-night camping tours), 
I have been prone to see a gap in the market and try to fill it.
​I put myself through college whilst raising 2 babies by baking cakes (Homemade Cakes UnLtd)  and cleaning houses (Mrs. Mop) and working for the Social Services as a caregiver. ​
Then I graduated, and set up my first practice, The Apple Tree Clinic, from my home, so that I could still be a hands-on Mom;
which then morphed into Naturechild and launched my conference and seminar provision,
and then on to AcuHouse Ltd, my Harley St clinic specialising in Fertility, Pregnancy, and Paediatrics.
Every step of my career has been about seeing what isn't there and providing a solution.
I am a Canadian who has lived in the UK for over 3 decades.

Chinese Medicine Physician,
​Writer & Lecturer

I have practised Chinese medicine for
25 years,
always from within a western medical office.
​My specialist subject is the interplay between digestive, reproductive and adrenal hormones.
I have campaigned for integrated/functional medicine throughout my career;
​in my practice,
​as a university lecturer,
and as an international speaker.
I have retired from my Chinese medicine practice after 25 years,
and I am now focused on applying my extensive care-giving skills to 
help support people in a more immediate one-on-one environment.

University & International Lecturer

I have been undergraduate faculty for the Oxford Brookes University BA Acupuncture degree,
and then faculty for the MA for Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
The MA course, which I wrote and taught, was designed as a fully integrative curriculum;
50% of the coursework encompassed Western diagnostics, treatment protocols, redflags and pharmaceutical applications
​as used in Obs & Gynae management.
I have had a long career as an international lecturer and conference speaker,
known mainly for my expertice in obstetrics, gynacology and paediatrics.

The (unintentionally) Long Sabbatical

2017 - 2025

I left in 2017 intending to spend some time travelling - which was filled with EPIC road trips,
primarily on the West Coast of North America,
moving between LA, Seattle and Vancouver.

Then... 2020

I dashed over the border and spent lock-down in Vancouver.

Unable to practice Chinese medicine in Canada,
(I'm licensed in the UK, and the Canadian board exams were all suspended until 2022)
​I recognised the desperate need for in-home care for our Elders.
Thus began my unexpected,
but much preferred,
career as an
Executive Caregiver.
