The reason I chose to bring the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF into my clinic is simple: they first became part of my own health journey.
For nearly 40 years, I’ve believed that healthy skin begins with a healthy body and mind. That’s why I’ve always taken a holistic approach, looking beyond the skin to nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, hormones and overall wellbeing. For almost four decades, I’ve shared one simple message with my clients:
Prevent is better than cure.
At the time, I was talking about skin health and overall wellbeing. I never imagined those same words would one day become so personal.
In 2020, I came across the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF and remember saying to my husband, Steve, “This technology looks incredible”. Then COVID arrived, and like so many people, life was put on hold.
Not long afterwards, Steve was diagnosed with a terminal Grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumour.
After his surgery, I started researching the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF, hoping it might support his wellbeing alongside his medical treatment. Sadly, lockdowns meant we never had that opportunity, and by the time restrictions eased, it was too late.
After losing Steve, my focus became raising our daughter, Tara, running my business and simply putting one foot in front of the other.
Looking back now, I don’t think there was one single reason my body started breaking down. It was the accumulation of everything: years of physical work, menopause, and then the overwhelming grief and trauma of losing Steve.
People often think that if you’re smiling and getting on with life, you’re okay.
I certainly tried to be.
But I learnt that while life slowly moves forward, our bodies often carry the weight of everything we’ve been through.
By 2023, my body was telling me it needed help.
The cognitive fog became overwhelming. Sleep became difficult. I lost my flexibility and my whole body ached. The pain in my hands, back and legs became relentless, and the nerve pain across the tops of my feet was almost unbearable. It felt as though my body was slowly setting in concrete.
The hardest part was knowing I was already doing everything I could to look after myself. I walked regularly, enjoyed Pilates, meditated for years, ate well, took quality supplements, had regular massages, saw my physiotherapist and was on hormone therapy.
Everything helped… but only temporarily.
Every morning I woke feeling decades older than I was.
One morning, as I slowly walked down the hallway, I remember thinking, “I’m only 57. If I feel like this now, what am I going to be like in another 20 years?”.
For the first time in my life, I even found myself thinking about selling my business, selling the house and simplifying everything because I simply didn’t know how much longer my body could keep going.
Anyone who knows me knows that’s not me.
I’m always 100 miles an hour. I’m positive. I’m determined. I’m always looking for solutions.
But my body could no longer keep up with the person I still was inside.
That’s when I remembered the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF.
I booked my first treatment.
I wasn’t expecting a miracle, but I simply knew I had to at least try something different.
Everyone’s journey is different, but over the following weeks I noticed my body gradually becoming less stiff. Even the arthritis in my hands became much more manageable. My mobility and flexibility improved, my mind became clearer, my energy returned, and, for the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a spring back in my step again. Most importantly… I felt like I was getting me back.
Being who I am, I wanted to know why.
I immersed myself in the research, spoke with the company, connected with clinics around Australia and learnt everything I could about the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF. Throughout my career, I had already developed a strong understanding of the importance of inflammation, circulation, mitochondrial health and cellular function. But as I delved deeper into the science behind these technologies, my knowledge expanded even further. The more I learnt, the more everything came together. It reinforced what I’d believed for decades: that when we support the body at a deeper level, we create the best possible foundation for health, wellbeing and healthy ageing.
I never bring anything into my clinic unless I truly believe in it, and I would never recommend something to my clients that I wouldn’t use myself.
This journey gave new meaning to something I’ve been saying for almost 40 years: Preventions is better than cure.
Today, I believe that more than ever.
We can’t change yesterday, but we can start looking after ourselves today.
That’s why I encourage Tara, my team, my family and my clients to invest in their health before their body starts asking for help.
The HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF haven’t replaced the healthy habits I’ve always believed in. They’ve simply become another important part of how I look after myself.
I don’t expect everyone to have the same experience I did, but what I do know is this: they changed the quality of my life.
If they can help someone else improve their mobility, energy, confidence and quality of life the way they’ve helped me, then bringing them into my clinic will be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
And if you’re ever wondering just how much I believe in them…
When I retire, the HOCATT® and HUGO PEMF are coming home with me!
