Robert: I was born in New Zealand and initially trained as a Mining Engineer. I worked on project design and financing, in South America and many other parts of the world. In my mid thirties, I was plagued with stress related health problems for which medical science offered no real help, I turned to alternative therapies which were immediately effective.

As a child I had watched my father, a Doctor in a small country town, and admired the personal care he gave beyond simply prescribing drugs. So when I moved to Australia, with these experiences behind me, I decided to retrain and was lucky enough to learn under Australia's internationally recognized herbalist Dorothy Hall.

My new direction set, I moved to Bathurst, NSW (a rural centre, 135 miles from Sydney, the Olympic city) and opened a full time Herbal Medicine practice. I began treating people, formulating mixtures (primarily of European herbs) and dispensing the same kind of common sense advice and compassion to my patients that my father did in his day, in the 1950's.

The practice expanded into new areas because my clients demanded that I turn my Herbal knowledge and experience to supporting the health of their animals.
