About me
I love mother nature so much, I am here to share the joy with you
Hi, I’m Tina, an Ayurvedic Warrior, who loves seeing you shine!
For over 25 years, I’ve dedicated my life to researching, practising and applying natural medicines that promote quality of life.
My journey into natural medicine began when a little pill did nothing to cure my ills, in fact it terrified me, as my emotions suddenly became numb.
My life changed forever, when I realised our healthcare system did not have the solution I was craving for.
The saying is so true, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Within a blink of an eye, the heavens began to shower me with life knowledge that told me nature is a bounty of healing potions, cures and nourishment.
My Journey: Ayurvedic Wisdom with Clinical Expertise
Being stuck in a cycle of anxiety/depression and unresolved health issues sucks! At one point, I was crying weekly, begging for help from my compassionate GP: the pills were just not working for me. Then, Will took over me, and I vowed to find solutions to heal myself. This was a quarter of a century ago.
My thirst to live healthily and to be happy was insatiable when I discovered nature was a source of medicine. Within days and weeks, life looked very different. I went from a mundane existence and began to grow like the flowers and the trees, and my life has gone down paths beyond my wildest imagination, because I chose wisely!
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, MSc), including learning Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, Philosophy and Sanskrit with world renowned teachers, in India and outside of India.
As a natural traveller and healer, I am adaptable by nature. My medicine bag is always on the road with me, and I treat and share knowledge along the way. All animals included.
From a young age, my curiosity to know about medicine was clear. I dreamt of being a nurse, and 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.
My Philosophy: Rooted in Prevention, Centred on Empowering People
At the core of my work is a simple yet transformative idea: Prevent illness and live happily.
Whatever we eat or do in life creates our nature.
A simple shift can make a great difference to our nature and the nature of those around us.
A ripple effect touches others with inspiration and a motivation to change. I have seen countless people adapt their habits when they see the effects of this medicine.
Life, I know, is full of too many challenges – stress, unhealthy habits, or even external factors like the weather can throw us off balance.

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.
