My story
Hi! My name is Bernie. I live in the gorgeous Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, NZ. I am originally from South Africa and have lived in NZ since December 2005. I am married to Richard – and we have twin sons and two daughters-in- law. I am also very blessed to be a Grandmother - and am known as Gogo (Zulu for Grandmother). There are four things that I'm passionate about in life - my Faith, family, friends & food! It is my passion in life to provide unique nutritional care for exceptional women like you. I have personal experience of living with chronic pain for decades. I have tried so many different protocols and very few provided me with relief until I combined my knowledge of G.E.M.M as well as natural alternatives to reduce my pain. I am now much more in control of my pain and this has meant my quality of life has improved significantly. As an accredited G.E.M.M practitioner, I have undergone rigorous post-grad training and qualification to assist you with your chronic inflammatory condition. Remember -pain is a clear sign there IS inflammation, however inflammation can be present without pain.

I have experienced some health scares from pre-diabetes as a 17 year old, to coming very close to losing my life giving birth to our twin sons. I've also gone through Menopause - so I can completely relate to those awful nightsweats and hot flushes. I managed to control these using food, natural supplements and lifestyle tweaks. Because of my own health journey and decades of life experience, I can relate very well to how it makes you feel – tired, grumpy, not to mention confused by all the stuff out there. I have also learnt what foods help me and what foods hinder me. Again, it has been a very individual journey - which is why it's so important to seek a professional health practitioner's help. When clients visit my Clinic, they will often say it's the first time they feel listened to, and how at peace they feel. Which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing - and that's helping exceptional women like you!Looking forward to meeting you soon!Warm regardsBernie xx
