A bit about me…
Hi I’m Tegan, I’m a Bachelor qualified Naturopath, and remedial massage therapist. I use clinical nutrition, herbal medicine and traditional practices to support and enhance the health of my clients.
I was born and raised on the Atherton Tablelands of far north Queensland. My health as a child was at times a challenge, and I was helped immensely by naturopaths and body workers throughout my early years.
Inspired by those who helped me, I moved to Brisbane in 2005 to study naturopathy at the Australian College of Natural Medicine, now Endeavour College of Natural Health.
After starting out as a naturopath, I met a friend studying remedial massage. This friend would practice techniques on me, and at first I wasn’t convinced much would come of our sessions. Little did I know the true impact these sessions would have on me; first on my body, and later, on the course of my life.
Soon I began to experience profound change in my body, and the pain that I had accepted as daily life was diminished drastically. I felt I had little choice but to return to my former college in pursuit of further studies.
I completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2014 and began incorporating remedial massage into my practice. It has been incredibly gratifying to positively impact my clients in such a direct way. I have worked with professional athletes and performers, corporate executives, weekend warriors, expectant mums and those with severe mobility challenges. Whether it’s an acute injury or a chronic disorder, knowing I can help reduce or eradicate pain states is my motivation.
With this experience, my focus as a naturopath has shifted towards reducing inflammation, improving the gut-brain connection and supporting the nervous system. Some more specific areas of interest for me are:
natural pain management
management of inflammatory conditions
improve sleep quality
enhance energy levels
support immune function
anxiety and stress reduction
improve gut microbiome
