Alkaline by Design’s own context is just that – maintaining our being alkaline, by design.

After many years of health challenges, individual and shared, we recognised that there was a lot of anxiety and fear around making life changing decisions about our health, and the need for support with integrating new principles.

Thats what we want to change

While many health practitioners and professionals target symptoms, Alkaline by Design dedicate time to your health questions and concerns, and take a look at all areas, right down to the root issue of how acidity is impacting your body.

We believe in empowering you with a wide range of resources so that you can make informed choices about your health.  You know what is best for you, and will make decisions based on an agreed and workable health strategy.

About Kate A’Vard It all started with beachcombing when Kate was a child spending summer holidays at the beach. Walking along the beach every night with bucket in hand, the goal was to collect shells. Another goal, was to collect all the glass. Glass has a certain way of showing itself underwater, which is different to resting beachside, and Kate had the knack (and still does) to find all the glass whilst walking along the beach. Coming back with a full bucket of glass, others would mention that they didnt see much at all.

It is this level of detailed analysis that holds Kate in good stead today when looking at your blood. She has the ability to see distinct patterns very quickly with the detection of minute phenomena which has meaning to you in the wider scope of your health. With sharp skill and quick recognition, you will get to the root cause of any issues with practical solutions. Kate does not use a blanket ‘fix all alkalising approach’ because simply, it doesn’t work. Her approach is tailored for the individual depending on what is demonstrated in their blood. You will find this beneficial in your session.

Kate’s ‘CV’ stands with a Bachelor of Business in Human Resources and Computing, followed by a Diploma of Applied Science. Alongside working as an IT and Systems Analyst for 14 years, Kate also practiced massage therapy, and aromatherapy as a separate business before moving to England. She is considered an ‘academic’ by her peers.

Kate also holds several other certificates including the Basic and Advanced Courses with the pH Miracle Center in San Diego, in Live and Dried Blood Microscopy. Not content with unanswered questions, Kate studies diligently in other protocols to gain a broad understanding, and experience in fluid analysis. This keeps Kate at the cutting edge in health technology.

She has also studied Fluid Analysis (Urine, Saliva and Blood) with Biomedx in Chicago, to look at the function of each body organ individually. This gives an indepth picture which usually correlates with the blood demonstration. Kate is the only practicing blood microscopist globally to have completed both of these protocols.

Kate moved to the UK from Australia in May 2001 and Alkaline by Design is her business dedicated to contributing to the betterment of health for anyone concerned.

Why blood?

She met Dr Young in 1998 in Hawaii at an event where he was lecturing, and it was her own blood demonstration which she believes, saved her life. As a young IT Programme Manager Kate was working heavy hours between Melbourne and Sydney on the Olympics Telecommunications Project and between the hours and commute, stress and poor eating took its toll. It was this demonstration which was the lynchpin to her health. Roll on 9 years to the Asian tsunami when Kate was an IT Change Manager at a large retail bank in England, at the time holidaying in Thailand, and life took a very different perspective. It was this event which saw Kate turn about in her career, get off the fence and study with Dr Young in California to become a blood microscopist…and she hasn’t looked back.

Seeing the experience of such destruction and the fight for survival in humanity, Kate’s context for life shifted massively. It is her ethos in business and your health, that we all need a helping hand. Its not easy doing what we do in life with our health, and having information thrown at you with little means of making it fit. You will find that Kate brings the books and information to life, in an easy to understand format.

It is her honour and privilege to work and teach with Dr Young in the UK. She is a senior microscopist with extensive experience and has been asked to share her skills and ability in Ireland, Norway and Spain in early 2009.

Kate continues to study and participate in different arena’s including personal transformation, spiritual connection and takes an avid interest in languages. As a creative entrepreneur Kate not only looks at your blood for its story, but as artwork. In the past her blood artwork on canvas was created to be sold to raise funds for a cancer charity.

Kate’s other passions are photography and travel and when she is out of the country, chances are you will find Kate beachcombing or taking photos somewhere hot. Why picking up glass? Because your kids play on the beach too.

To your health!
