Adventure Into The Embrace Of The Soul
My Life Journey is Epic, All Because Of Ayurveda
Hi, I’m Tina, a Natural Healthcare Practitioner and Educator
Following my heart and not the crowd
Over 25 years ago in my times of loss and despair it was the time when I began to question why am I here?
They say curiousity killed the cat. I think this is a statement that keeps us from going beyond our boundaries and stops us exploring our precious life.
All those years ago I had to make a life choice. It was to choose the prozac that made me dull or find another healthcare system. I recall my intution was screaming for me to wake up. It was a life changing moment in life I will never forget.
My life has been full of adventure. I danced my way through life from a young age. Born in Liverpool, I was present at the start of House Music in the 19s, the Club Underground opened me up Spiritually, it was the freedom to be who we are, to dance like no one is watching. Then finding myself weekly on the Quadarant Park Stage, on request of the house music DJ.
I then got a calling to Jersey and it was amazing. I worked in all kinds of hospitality which I loved and then I chased the money and became dealer in finance industry. I was unhappy in work because I was a round plug in a square hole. It was during these life moment I began to question why I was here on earth.
I questioned the Universe and soon enough I began to get answers!
Surreal moments of Awakening began as I ditched the processed foods, and connected to nature in all kinds of ways.
I left and took a one way ticket to Australia for a year, and my vision became clearer. I qualified as a chef, focusing on my passion, vegeterian cooking, learnt to grown my own vegetables on organic farms, learnt the medicinal value of herbs and all kinds of supplements back in Jersey.
Inside I had a kindling, a yearning to know more about healing and the meaning to life. I was disatisfied with the western culture as it lived to eat and be merry. I was being called to something more and my life began again in a different direction.
I deepeded my committment to Ayurveda and studied at University in London, and completed my clinical sceinces in Indian Ayurvedic hospitals. I was deeply pulled to know the soul after Graduation I spent the next 9 years as a Spiritual Seeker. I was alone for most of these years communicating with the Divine. It was challenging and heaven as my life had turned upside down .
I was graced by so many Spiritual Masters, Monks and Nuns to guide me in person and spirit as I walked down a road that was so uncomforable and new.
Living India for many years in spiritual environments profoundly changed my thinking of life.
My Journey: Ayurvedic Wisdom with Clinical Expertise
My desire for life-changing knowledge took over my life and I have not stopped studying. I learnt clinical Ayurveda at university in London and clinics in India (BSc). Researched Public Health for Complimentary Medicine (MSc). I am qualified Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama and Philosophy teacher. I am quite modest, yet I will share that the teachers whom I have studied with our at top of the game in this world.
Being in the kitchen I am most creative. I make pranic rich meals in quick time, the Ayurvedic seasonal way.
I love making Ayurvedic Formulations and administering these medicines to patients, to support them with the health and wellness. I have seen incredible changes with the simplest of protocals.
I also love counselling people so they can see life from a different perspective.
The scope of the Ayurvedic knowledge is expansive. I apply it anywhere, with family and friends and people whom I meet, where ever I am in the world. I treat external and internal conditions of all kinds and even street dogs with Ayurvedic herbs for their skin conditions. There is always someone in need of care.
From a young age, my curiosity to know about medicine was clear. I dreamt of being a nurse, but fate made me wait. It kept me from going down the traditional nursing route in the NHS. Some years later my yearning to care and treat sprouted forth, when Ayurveda came before me.

The Person Behind the Practitioner!
I look at life through the lens of a Mystic. I am consistently applying the medicine to awaken me to my pure self, especially in moments when I feel I am going off track.
I love nature; being held in the trees, diving deep or paddling in the water or gazing out into the vast space, helps me come back into balance.
I see possibilities for endless healing within our community. Whatever our background, wherever we are right now, we all deserve the right to heal and be happy.
