      For the past 8 years I have been working in private practice alongside various stints in corporate and retail settings as a naturopath and collaborating with other practitioners in their private practices. Prior to my current 'technical naturopath' role, I worked part time at Integria Healthcare in the tech team and continue to be available for consults and other modalities. Between 2017 and 2019 I was lead naturopath at Amchara Health Retreats between Gozo, Malta and Somerset, UK before the pandemic put paid to that. I loved holding the space and making a difference.
