Maria Jude opened the Clinic in Burnie in October of 2003 and has formal qualifications in Herbal Medicine, Remedial Massage, Yoga and Nursing.

She has the depth of knowledge and sound judgment only a lifetime spent in the professional attention to people's health can give. In advising and treating an individual she may use any of a range of skills as appropriate, all informed by a twenty year career in general, emergency and paediatric nursing.

With the individual's well-being always her primary concern, she has the knowledge and experience to give astute advice on an appropriate course of integrated action where the help of other health professionals is indicated.

Seeing a need to offer yoga classes and therapy to the local community alongside natural therapies, Centre of balance School of Yoga was opened in 2006, and the yoga community in North West Tasmania has continued to grow with a current timetable of 6 weekly classes alongside specialty classes for individuals and organisations.
