My background
Hi, I'm Helen Donnison, the founder of the Vibrant Health Centre where I live and work. I am passionate about food and nutrition, natural health and healing, active living, personal and spiritual development, and sustainable living. I have studied natural health from a scientific, traditional and holistic perspective so I understands how to work with rather than fight against nature in creating vibrant health and wellbeing for you.
My journey to vibrant health has been interesting and varied. I was brought up in a ‘traditional’ medical family – my father was a doctor and mother was a nurse. We were brought up on homegrown fruit and vegetables with common sense advice about taking care of your self - medicines were only prescribed as a last resort.
After gaining a Masters Degree in Science majoring in Biology, spending several years in science research and having three children, I began studying herbal medicine from both a scientific and traditional perspective which was like ‘awakening an ancient memory’ as it seemed so easy and natural, and fitted in well with my personal philosophies.
In 2001 I started work in a herbal dispensary and teaching various aspects of herbal medicine for the Waikato Centre for Herbal Medicine - botany, manufacturing medicines and natural skin care products, nutrition and herbal therapeutics over a course of 7 years. During this time I graduated with a Diploma in Herbal Medicine and set up a clinical practice from home. I went on to complete a Diploma in Natural Therapies including massage, reflexology, energy healing and basic kinesiology.
In 2005 I participated in the practitioner programme for the Journey, studied Reiki, and completed the Vitality, Longevity and Anti-aging programme through Metagenics. With this I began a journey of transformation in my personal life. In 2008 I studied fitness instruction through Netfit, and in 2010 I embarked on the next leg of my journey of discovery, adding Being in Colour, Reiki level 2 and ThetaHealing to my toolkit of healing therapies. As I have learnt and grown personally and professionally, I have gathered tools and skills that can help others attain health and wellbeing to a higher degree than was previously thought possible.
Every day I learn more and more about health and wellbeing, and regularly attend workshops to fuel my passion for nutrition, natural health and healing, mind/body healing, spiritual development and health and fitness.
My mission is to share my knowledge, wisdom and skills with anyone who seeks health and wellness, to help you create long term vibrant health and wellbeing, empowerment and self realization – to be all that you are.
I work with all health conditions including ‘tricky problems’ that the medical system has no answers for. My areas of specialty include treatment of stress, anxiety and depression; sports naturopathy and nutrition; weight management and anti-aging. Over the past 5 years I have also developed the Vibrant Health programme which incorporates a one day workshop; comprehensive workbook and follow up programme - a health and wellness programme that really works!
