August 28th, 2005 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.One of the most frequently asked questions I hear from my clients is, “What made you leave your career in Nursing and start your own practice?”
The earlier part of my nursing career was spent in Australia in high dependency primary care and later in medical/oncology and palliative care. Illness surrounded me and death was more common than not. Disempowerment was augmented by a system resistant to change and it was not much longer til light soon shone in a new direction physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I travelled overseas and whilst nursing at a private hospital in Surrey (U.K), took up further studies in Aromatherapy. The Medical Consultants there were very open to alternative complimentary therapies and permitted me to use this therapy in the ward where I worked. This was a positive beginning and the improvements in the patients’ physical and overall wellbeing was most impressive.
When I returned home to Australia my newly acquired skills were greeted with much less enthusiasm from the more conservative M.D. colleagues (their comments termed them, “hocus pocus”). I brushed aside their scepticism and used essential oils in subtle ways such as Lavender or Roman Chamomile bed baths and placed a few drops in a small fan on the bedside table for the terminally ill. I included oils such as Cypress, Clary sage and Melissa for the grieving families to restore comfort and peace. It wasn’t long before I began my own private practice and furthered my studies in Kinesiology & Emotional Healing.
I offer a holistic approach to health and having had first-hand experience of how disempowered and dependent patients can become in hospitals, it is my belief that prevention is the pathway to empowerment.
