“Hi, I’m Dr. El”

I decided it was about time I officially introduced the face behind Centred Health.

Being the introverted soul that I am, putting my face on here always takes a little bravery. I’m much better at sitting one-on-one with you & having a D&M than speaking about myself on social media, but I suppose this is long overdue.

Like most, my journey into health & wellbeing wasn’t a straightforward one.

Over the years, I’ve navigated thyroid cancer, PMOS, neuropathic pain, & the dysregulated nervous system that accompanies being a high-achieving perfectionist. It was Chinese Medicine & naturopathy that continually brought me back into balance. More than that, they offered me a different lens through which to understand both the world & my place within it; one that honours the relationship between body, mind, spirit, & environment.

In my early thirties, life gave me the space to reflect on the direction I was heading. During that time, I realised I was being called to something I had felt since I was a child: an intuitive knowing that I was meant to help people heal.
