Certified BodyTalk Practitioner
Tira's interest in the body's health and wellbeing began in her teenage years, when the whole family was put on a strict naturopathic regime for her stepfather's medical condition. Tira learned early on in life how dietary and outside factors influenced her own health, and this lead her to study biochemistry, biology, anthropology and chemistry at university.
After being a full-time mum for several years, Tira's career eventually took on a new direction, predominantly working for software companies and as an editor for scientific publications.
Striving for work–life balance, Tira trained with The Fitness League NZ, becoming a qualified exercise teacher in 2003. She discovered BodyTalk in 2006 and was so impressed not only with the changes in her physical wellbeing but also for her personal and professional growth. She began her training soon after.
