Meet Angela — Naturopathic Practitioner &amp; Registered Nurse

We are honoured to have Angela as one of our key facilitators for this retreat.

Angela brings over 30+ years of experience in health and wellness as a Naturopathic Practitioner and Registered Nurse.

With expertise in nutritional medicine, herbal therapy, homeopathy, and lifestyle coaching, Angela blends the best of both worlds — traditional medical knowledge and natural holistic therapies. She works from the root cause, mentoring her clients back to balance, energy, and true well-being.

Having also worked in corporate leadership roles, Angela understands the real impact of stress and burnout. She now supports professionals and high-performing individuals with:





Stress and anxiety management



Mental clarity &amp; adrenal support



Restoring balance and preventing burnout

She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Aged Care and brings compassion and expertise to supporting older clients in maintaining mobility, cognition, and health later in life.

During the retreat, Angela will be holding space for a special wellness session, where she will:

✨ Share the benefits of plant-based eating for energy, healing, and longevity

✨ Guide an educational presentation on plant-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine

✨ Provide practical tools to help you integrate these habits into everyday life

Her passion for superfoods, superherbs, and joyful nourishment shines through in everything she teaches.

Get ready to be inspired, uplifted, and empowered by Angela’s wisdom and heart-centred approach to elevate your health from the inside out.
