Alison spent two years travelling and working in Central America, Australia & New Zealand, Vietnam, China & Tibet including working on sheep farms in outback NSW.

“I’m an information gatherer… I’ve always been researching something ever since I was a teenager – environment, sustainable building, herbal medicine and traditional health practices in particular. The first thing I did when I started my naturopathy studies was to get every book and video I could find out of the library on Aborginal healing practices – I wanted to know about the people of this vast country I had just arrived in.”
