Alice has 14 years clinical experience. She started her career as a Myotherapist, working in Melbourne with elite level athletes and gymnasts. However, it was through her Myotherapy work with the MS Society of Victoria that really opened her eyes to the positive change that diet and lifestyle can have on chronic pain, inflammation and immune system dysfunction. She wanted to learn more about how to help the body naturally heal itself. This lead her to another 5 years of study to obtain a Bachelor of Health Science, with a major in Naturopathy from Australia's oldest Natural Medicine School, SSNT. During her study she did a number of clinical observation placements learning from Integrative GP's and other medical specialists. As well as completing a summer internship at an Intergrative Cancer Centre in California and Mexico. These experiences made it clear how using the best of both worlds allopathic and complementary medicine gets the best patient outcomes.
