Benalla Health Studio

Jenny began to practise in September 1978 at the Benalla Health Studio.

Jenny was drawn to study massage therapy through her mother who had trained and worked with a Mr Saunders in Melbourne - one of Australias pioneers in massage therapy in the 1940s.

Laters Jennys passion for Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, Iridology and Homeopathy was ignited by family illness in the early 1980s and the need to find answers other than repeated antibiotics and surgery.

She sought advice from a Naturopath, a member of the massage association - the results were outstanding. This was a major turning point, both on a personal and professional level.

These events led Jenny to a lifetime of research and formal study of traditional healing philosophies and techniques, then with the expanding scientific research becoming available - the integration of Traditional Healing Techniques together with Evidence Based Complimentary Medicine bringing a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience to offer.

Jenny has specialised in reproductive health over the past 15 years and has been instrumental in many successful pregnancies even when I.V.F. has been unsuccessful. She has also provided complimentary medicine support when I.V.F has bee the necessary and appropriate option.

To follow on - support to healthy pregnancy, birthing, post partum and breasfeeding.
