Education & Awards
Dr. Niikee has over 25 years of experience as a naturopathic clinician, educator, research scientist, and university academic. She has contributed significantly to the international scientific community in nutritional biochemistry and medical education. Niikee'sha has also taught and developed curricula in traditional medicine, energy healing, Mystical alchemy and metaphysics, leading her to create the School for Metaphysical Practice.
Graduating from the Australian College of Natural Medicine in 1998, she furthered her studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vibrational Medicine, Intuitive Guidance and Mysticism, alongside earning a Master’s in Nutritional Medicine and a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry Clinical Medicine from the University of Queensland in 2011.
Dr Niikee lectured at Endeavour College of Natural Health for over a decade and taught nutrition at the University of Queensland Medical School for 8 years. She coordinated numerous research projects, securing over $430,000 in funding, and published in international medical journals, presenting her work globally. In 2018, she received the Nutrition Research Project of the Year award for her large RCT trial on a clinical herbal medicine formula.
