I am a medical doctor by training, turned educator and social entrepreneur. I am also a Health & fitness Coach and work with both individuals and their families. I trained at the University of Melbourne Medical school for my degrees in Medicine, surgery and Medical science. I am a lecturer in Health Information Management at a university. I also coordinate Corporate Wellness programs.I am an avid proponent of Holistic Wellness and strongly recognize the fact that what we call disease is an imbalance in body and/ or mind.
