Naturopathic studies in Australia is a 4 year full time study, in which Clinical Medicine, Anatomy & Physiology is studied over 4 years, incorporating Massage, Flower Essences, Mineral Therapy, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Iridology (physical & emotional), and Touch for health. Sandra has a wealth of knowledge, almost 30 years clinical experience, in treating people with various health issues.

Sandra's main form of assessment used in her clinic, along with other functional medicine testing is Iridology. Sandra was fascinated with iridology when she was studying at College, while learning about the Diagnostic tool, she was using family members to practice on. When one day looking at her sisters eyes, detected an unusual marking, laughed it off, and thought it was all hocus pocus, until 7 years later, the reading was confirmed, my sister suffered an aneurysm. We are grateful to this day for all the doctors and surgeons that worked on her, and she is alive to tell her story of the incredible journey she had.

Sandra went on to study more of this incredible tool and uses it in her practice everyday, with incredible results and information from peoples eyes.

Sandra worked with a vitamin company - Natures Own as a Naturopath and travelled around Australia and overseas, Fiji, Vanuatu, Hong Kong & Dubai conducting introductory Iridology consultations and presented seminars on various health topics. She gained great experience in the field of Iridology during these consultations, as some days were filled with 100 people in the one day! Gaining great exposure and a great interest, she went on the do more studies and learning in the field of Iridology. She completed a course in Physical, Emotional and Essential Iridology, and has become the First Irish Iridology Certified Instructor with IIPA.

Iridology is the examination of the iris, the coloured parts of the eye. Every organ corresponds with a section of the iris. Observing markings, signs and discolourations on the iris surface, around the iris rim and pupil edge can indicate inherited weaknesses and strengths. Iridology can not diagnose a disease, however, it can detect underlying signs of developing symptoms at an early stage, it is like our DNA our genetic potentials.

Sandra lectured at the CNM College in Both Dublin and Cork, and at the Kinesiology College of Ireland.
