About Authentic Health & Wellness

Hello, I’m Karen. I’m a positive, qualified nutritionist, massage therapist and reiki practitioner who is passionate about nutrition, energy and health. With a corporate background spanning more than 25 years, I truly understand what it’s like to be super busy, stressed and trying to find that elusive work/life balance.

I have had periods in my life of being adrenally fatigued, stressed to the max, burning the candle at both ends with chronic headaches, backaches, insomnia and a poor diet. Previously, I have used not so healthy methods to deal with my stress instead of nurturing my body to find the balance it requires and deserves.

So, how did I end up here? Well, I had an epiphany many years ago after returning from a fabulous trip to the Greek Islands.  I had a good Corporate career, however, I always felt like a hippy at heart hiding in Corporate clothes. I truly wanted a career where I could incorporate my lifestyle into my work, hence, living my passion.

I have been on quite the journey since then, studying about health and nutrition and going through my own transformation of rethinking my diet and health choices to help support my busy lifestyle and find an optimal balance. Let me help you do the same so you can be the best version of yourself and your health!

It is all about coming back to your authentic self. We all have these dreams when young about who and what we want to be and then sometimes end up on life’s treadmill with health issues, feeling unwell, a few too many extra kilos, bad habits and not living life to the fullest.

So, what is your authentic self? Well in the words of Dr Phil McGraw, “it’s the you that is found at your absolute core. The part of you not defined by your job and is composed of all your gifts, abilities, talents and wisdom that are uniquely yours as opposed to what you’ve been programmed to believe you are supposed to be”.

Let me help you find your authentic self again through your health and wellness so you can be the best version of yourself. I will educate and help guide you to make the necessary changes in your lifestyle for your personal goals and optimal health.

Book in for a consultation and have a confidential discussion about your health, your goals and your future self or maybe you'd prefer to enjoy a relaxing massage or reiki treatment. Remember, be true to your body and uncover your true health!
