Her qualifications include diplomas of Nutrition, Herbal Botanical Medicine, Iridology, live blood analysis and she is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (A.T.M.S).

Robyn's approach:

An initial consultation involves taking a detailed case history, covering the body, the emotions, lifestyle information and habits. This part of the consultation allows the client to become involved in their own healing process.

Robyn’s compassionate and gentle nature helps the client ease into the necessary lifestyle changes with support and encouragement, to achieve the best possible results. Also, as part of the initial consultation, the client may be given a customised diet plan to follow, which is reviewed every two weeks.

During this time, clients will notice significant changes and are usually excited to continue on the road to well being.
