Hello

I’m Shell (Michelle), a degree qualified Clinical Naturopath (BHSc) and Metabolic Balance ® Practitioner, with a desire to return you to health.

Embarking on a health journey can be an overwhelming concept, what we want to be linear often time comes with a myriad of ups and downs. From first hand experience I understand the complexities of a health journey…

  • I spent my childhood on the southern beaches in Sydney, where weekends were spent catching waves, soaking up the sunshine and picking veggies from my grandparents garden. It’s where I can look back and completely understand the healing power of nature.

    Most of my life has been spent in Brisbane, and in my mid twenties I was fortunate enough to live in and travel throughout the UK and Europe. This is where my love for travel began and my appreciation for cultural diversity was born.

    I foster a deep love affair with food and cooking, the kitchen is where you’ll find me when I have some downtime, it is my therapy. Understanding how food is medicine and can truly nourish your body whilst making it vital is something I don’t take for granted.

    I lived the corporate life, having worked as a personal assistant in the property funds management sector for nearly twenty years. It was during this time I began to understand work life balance is essential for health and wellbeing. This was where my passion for wanting to help others was born and what lead me to enrolling in a Health Science Degree. I now manage a successful and busy health food store on the Gold Coast.

    I also have an understanding of the complexities of an ongoing health condition. I was born without a thyroid (the butterfly shaped gland in the neck), a condition known as congenital hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormones effect how the body produces energy and impacts almost all organs within the body. Without modern medicine I wouldn’t be alive - it has allowed me to live a full and abundant life, however, at times I have required the assistance of herbal medicine to complement this. It has been and continues to be a journey.
