Fran Deveer

Fran Deveer Adv.Dip.Nat  is a Kinesiologist who has recently graduated in the field of Naturopathy. Her interest in natural health care started with the birth of her son 16 years ago, who had extensive health issues that were not being resolved by mainstream medicine.  Children are a great motivator and she needed to research other avenues which in turn resulted in her finding kinesiology and naturopathy – deeming positive results.  Due to the amount of research and enjoyment of finding the real issues Fran decided to continue and formalise the extensive time and research that she had undergone in her own personal life.

Fran’s interests lie within environmental medicine and emotional well being, with emotions being a catalyst for dis-ease progression.
