The Story So Far…

Where ancient wisdom meets modern application—with integrity, not apology.

Chrysalis Original is the culmination of a lifetime immersed in clinical work, education, and the lived experience of healing—rooted in ancestral traditions, sharpened through rigorous training, and uncompromising in its values. Long before “integrative” became a buzzword, this approach was the reality—drawing together threads from all healing disciplines with the aim of supporting the whole being, not managing isolated symptoms; while drawing in all true practitioners as needed.

This is not a "wellness" brand. In fact, we consciously avoid vague and hollow euphemisms like wellness or complementary. Chrysalis Original is founded on the conviction that natural medicine is not an adjunct, but developed and proven through generations of study, refinement and observation - a vital part of integrative, wholistic medicine.

A Living Tradition of Healing

Before Chrysalis had a name, it was lived through action. With a childhood fascination for rural medicine and historic healing, a former career in clinical remote area nursing—especially in remote areas—became a launching point. These early chapters established a foundation of practical and applied medicine, informed by time in emergency rooms, and working by choice in as many fields as possible, including isolated communities. From the outset, it was clear that the body has its own logic—and that true health cannot be separated from environment, nutrition, belief systems, and lived experience. It became increasingly evident there were significant limitations within the conventional model of health care, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and integrative approach. From there, the education deepened, spanning:

• Herbal medicine & homœopathy

• Acupuncture, moxibustion & cupping therapy

• Iridology, colour therapy & traditional diagnostics

• Organic farming & biodynamic nutrition

• Orthomolecular & nutritional medicine

Years of quiet effort exposed further truths: that bush & traditional medicines, homœopathy, and energetic modalities had long been serving communities when modern medicine failed. Again and again, homœopathy emerged as the healing system that offered hope when conventional routes could not.

Integrative Medicine—Before It Was Defined

What the system now calls integrative was always the model here; rather than a mashup of disconnected practices or picking & choosing the latest health vogue or market-influenced treatment trends, a coherent system where ancient knowledge and modern understanding work side by side.

This is a round table approach—one where each healing modality is respected for its contribution. Medicine didn’t begin with Rockefeller-funded reductionism or the bureaucratic scaffolding of evidence-based medicine. It formed over millennia with human observation, accumulated insight, and empirical refinement. The entire history of healing—Indigenous, Eastern, Western, traditional and scientific—is part of this tapestry.

And it is not eugenics, nor elitist, nor hegemonic. Chrysalis Original rejects any system that withholds care based on profit, power or institutional bias.

Clinical Practice & the Rise of Chrysalis

After formalising her studies in the early 1990s, including Diplomas in Homœopathy and Clinical Acupuncture, she was invited to present a paper at an international medical congress on Indigenous Health, opening doors with multiple offers to collaborate with some of India’s and Beijing’s leading university hospitals and WHO mobile units. Despite these global opportunities, she made a firm decision to remain in Australia—specifically to serve in the very places where natural health had been abandoned or legislated out of reach.

A rural practice soon followed, serving families from across the state. Here, mother tinctures and homœopathic formulations were developed out of necessity—made by hand, ethically prepared, cruelty-free, and energetically precise.

Through innovation and research, these remedies evolved into what would become the Chrysalis Original range. This was healing from the ground up—not commercial mimicry, but practitioner-designed, clinically informed, and field-tested.

A Pattern Emerged

From ER to rural practice, a repeating pattern became impossible to ignore:

• People had forgotten how to engage with their health

• Authority had displaced self-awareness

• Preventative care was buried beneath symptom suppression

• Most ailments were addressed too late

• Families no longer shared healing knowledge

• Financial barriers locked many out of natural medicine

• Insurance models rewarded pharmaceutical intervention—but not prevention or healing

In response, the original Botikin (Kit) was born—eight remedies that could empower individuals to treat minor ailments, avoid escalation, and reconnect with their own body’s intelligence. Used by students, athletes, performers, medical professionals, politicians’ families and everyday Australians alike, this kit laid the foundation for what Chrysalis would become.

Evolution, Setback, and Return

Chrysalis grew to 25 remedies, with state-wide distribution and a growing following. But like many ethically driven initiatives, it hit systemic resistance. Despite overseas interest following the 2000 Olympics, financial institutions and bureaucratic hurdles made further expansion unsustainable. The business paused, and focus shifted to family, homeschooling, ghostwriting, and the development of nationally recognised degree coursework in homœopathy— to train leading practitioners. But the public interest in the Chrysalis model never faded.

By 2019, demand had reached critical mass. With the addition of orthomolecular and emotional health approaches—the range grew to over 60 formulations. And so in 2020, Chrysalis Original was born anew.

Chrysalis Today

Chrysalis Original is more than a remedy range. It’s a return to common sense, ethical practice, and science that respects the human experience. It stands for:

• True integration—with knowledge drawn from every healing tradition

• Accessible, non-euphemised language that empowers, not placates

• Remedies made with conscience, skill and purity

• Education and tools to help individuals build their own home dispensary

• Support without superiority—we don't dictate, we equip

Expanding the Frontier of Energetic Preparation

In alignment with ongoing commitment to innovation rooted in traditional wisdom & keeping our options as gentle & effective as possible, our remedies now incorporate radionic preparation methods—a sophisticated process that enables the energetic imprinting of the beneficial frequencies of virtually any substance into a carrier remedy.

This technique allows us to draw on the healing intelligence of a broad spectrum of sources—without the material presence of the original substance—thus removing the risk of conventional side effects or contraindications.

These frequency-based imprints may include:

• Imponderables (e.g. sunlight, moonlight, magnetism)

• Nosodes

• Meridian and acupuncture point signatures

• Botanical, mineral and nutritional frequencies

• Flower and gem essences

• Food signatures

• Substances known to trigger sensitivity in certain individuals

Such preparations work at a deep energetic level, supporting the body’s innate healing intelligence while avoiding the physiological stress that can sometimes accompany material doses.

This multidimensional approach reflects our belief that true integrative medicine honours both substance and signal, science and tradition—and that each remedy should reflect the individuality of the person it’s meant to support. If you are unable to find what you need, chances are, Chrysalis Original is able to formulate it for you under the “Special Preparation” offering.

The goal is access for everyone so every remedy price is kept to the barest possible minimum. Each remedy costs mere cents per dose. Every order over $300 receives 10% off. Our curated kits are heavily discounted and designed for real-life use—whether you're caring for a family, travelling, or managing recurring health needs.

Final Word

This is not a rejection of science—it’s a restoration of real science, rooted in observation, pattern, ethics and understanding. It is not about opposing medicine—it is about making room at the round table for all who heal & all who seek healing.

Because no system holds all the answers—but together, they hold many.

In her words, "Healing trends rise and fall, but the wisdom of the body endures. When we honour its language, true healing begins—and time always reveals what endures."
