About Elizabeth
Short Bio
Elizabeth hails from Perth, Western Australia, and lives with her Beloved, their two rambunctious boys, Master O and Master R, and their mischievous cats, Pearl and José.
Her journey into natural therapies began as a teenager exploring nutrition and veganism, which led her to study Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Public Health. Over more than 14 years, she has combined these learnings to create a unique approach to holistic wellness, now reflected in her crystal essences and the guidance she shares globally through Vintage Health.
In 2017, Elizabeth became fascinated by the emotional and energetic power of crystals, inspiring the creation of the Choose Your Own Crystals (CYOC) system, and the Global Essences range. These tools are now available worldwide through the Vintage Health Shop.
She continues to develop her expertise in areas such as Dry Needling, TCM, acupressure, and holistic nutrition, integrating them into her consultations for clients who choose to work with her.

Early Foundations in Natural Therapies
Elizabeth’s interest in natural health began as a teenager, sparked by curiosity, self-agency, and exploration of nutrition and lifestyle. Choosing veganism at sixteen — at a time when alternative diets were uncommon — introduced her to a new way of thinking about health, balance, and personal wellbeing.
Encouraged by her family to master nutrition, she undertook a cooking course that introduced her to fermentation, sprouting, organic food systems, water filtration, and food combining. It was also here that she first encountered a practising naturopath, planting the seed for her future career.
Clinical Training and Academic Pathway
Elizabeth began her formal training in Naturopathy and Western Herbal Medicine in 1999. Her studies were broad and integrative, covering herbal medicine, flower essences, acupuncture theory, homeopathy, Tai Chi, and Yoga.
She continued to deepen her knowledge through degrees in Nutrition, Complementary Medicine, and a Master of Public Health, giving her both a holistic and evidence-informed perspective on health. Her education allows her to address individual wellbeing and community health, bridging traditional and modern approaches.
Public Health, Research, and International Experience
Elizabeth’s career has also included work in public health research and international development. She worked at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth and with the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center in Bangkok as part of the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development programme.
During this time, she contributed to zoonotic disease programmes, public health education, and cross-cultural wellness initiatives, experiences that continue to inform her holistic approach to health and wellness.
Returning to Clinical Practice & the Birth of Vintage Health
After relocating to Montreal, Elizabeth returned to her passion for face-to-face natural therapies. In 2011, she founded Vintage Health, providing personalised support in naturopathy, holistic nutrition, TCM, and crystal essences.
Alongside her private practice, she worked as a community naturopath in a busy health food store, honing her clinical skills and supporting a wide range of clients. In 2020, she shifted focus fully to Vintage Health and her growing body of crystal and wellness offerings.
In 2021, Elizabeth and her family returned to Perth, beginning a new chapter both personally and professionally.
The Evolution Into Crystal Essences
In 2017, Elizabeth’s focus expanded to the emotional and energetic dimensions of wellness. She observed how different crystals influenced emotional states such as clarity, grounding, confidence, openness, and connection.
This exploration led to the creation of the Choose Your Own Crystals (CYOC) Essence system, the Global Essences blends, and the Grounding & Protection spray. Over time, Elizabeth handcrafted more than 200 individual crystal essences, capturing the unique energy of each crystal.
The Vintage Health Shop now shares these essences with a global audience, enabling people to access transformational wellness tools wherever they are.
Current Work & Ongoing Practice
Today, Elizabeth’s work centres on crystal essences, wellness education, and long-term health literacy, supported by her extensive clinical background. Through the Healthier With Elizabeth series, she shares practical, thoughtful guidance designed to empower individuals to understand and support their own wellbeing.
While consultations remain available for those seeking personalised guidance, her primary focus has shifted to accessible tools and content that can support a wider community globally.
A Personal Note
Outside of her professional work, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her family, tending to her ever-growing plant collection, wandering op shops, walking in nature, and enjoying a drink in a beautiful cup.
