Our Inspiring Team

“My journey in integrative health began during my chiropractic training and has shaped my commitment to a whole-person approach to care. Working in collaboration with a dedicated team of allied health professionals, I established an integrative model of care for children and adults across the Gold Coast.”

Dr. Reza, holding a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry from Clarke University (USA) and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan Chiropractic University (USA) in 1991, possesses more than 35 years of extensive experience in diverse areas of integrative health. His approach to health emphasises evidence-based healthcare practices, guided by strong values and principles.

In 1991, Dr. Samvat relocated to Australia from the USA. He now resides on the Gold Coast, where, in partnership with his wife Michaela and in collaboration with other health professionals, they co-direct ‘Inspiring Choices’. Together, they oversee a multidisciplinary holistic clinic encompassing a wide range of integrative health care services.

Dr. Reza has published a physician’s guide titled ‘Sleep, Health, and Consciousness,’ incorporating years of clinical observation in sleep medicine.

Dr. Reza is founder of the Performance Enhancement Health Coach™ Program & the Gates of the Soul Program, coaching programs that focus on skills and habits across physical, chemical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of health.

Michaela is trained in holistic counselling and is an energy medicine practitioner with a focus on emotional reprocessing and nervous system regulation. Her journey began as Australia’s first TimeWaver Information Field Medicine trained practitioner, shaping her integrative and forward-thinking perspective.

Over the past decade, she has incorporated modalities including auricular chromotherapy, colour light therapy, and counselling approaches into her sessions.

Her practice is informed by an interest in how physical, psychological, biochemical and spiritual experiences interact with a person’s wellbeing.

Her work spans emotional reprocessing, mindset and lifestyle coaching, and energetic and frequency-based practice within an integrative model of care.

Hello, I’m Dr. Arini, as I’m affectionately known. I did come to the field of human relationships from an Educational Management background. Having worked with many diverse cultures and situations in five different countries around the world, I sought solutions to how to develop a person’s greatest capacity to contribute to the development of peaceful and harmonious relationships, workplaces and environments.

I have developed tools and strategies focused on the way a person relates to others. I have been the Principal of educational facilities from the cradle to the grave, and was the first and youngest woman, in South Australia to become a Director of Technical and Further Education College. I have been the CEO of a community organisation and have worked in recent years as an international management and educational consultant, speaking at many international forums, including the UNESCO Conference in Thailand.

I completed my doctorate in 2010 in the field of Moral and Character Education which I translated into tools to help individuals, couples and families to know their strengths and how to live a more fulfilling and ethical life.

For the last 15 years I have conducted many seminars on my work on the social brain and its role in how we communicate with others.

It has been greatly influenced by the research and body of knowledge known as the Social Neurosciences which casts many new exciting and holistic insights into how the human psyche works on a day to day basis.

I have translated this approach into working with children, individuals, couples, families and workplaces through personal consultations focused on communication and relationship skills.

Rustam is an experienced practitioner of brain-based therapies, with a focus on alternative and natural approaches. After completing medical school in his hometown of Ufa, located in the Bashkortostan Republic near the South Ural Mountains, Rustam began his career in Neurology. However, it was his own experience with a cerebral vascular inflammatory condition and intensive headaches that ignited his passion for brain science.

Rustam takes an interest in the biological, psychological, and social factors that can be relevant to a person’s health. His work focuses on unconscious emotional and thought patterns, and he incorporates heart rate variability biofeedback, breathing techniques, and integrative psychotherapy approaches into his practice.

Over the last 12 years, Rustam has worked extensively with the Infra Low Frequency Neurofeedback developed by Sue and Sigfried Othmers, which is a central part of his neurofeedback practice. Rustam’s favourite therapeutic modalities include meditation, breathwork, and neurotherapy or neuromodulation. He has also worked with Near Infra-red light or Photobiomodulation over the last 8 years as part of his practice.

Rustam has over 20 years of experience in implementing electroencephalography (EEG) in clinical work in Australia, which includes Quantitative Electroencephalography and Event-Related Potential. He worked under the mentoring of prominent experts, such as Prof. Juri Kropotov from the Human Brain Institute, to help many clinics adopt this advanced methodology. Rustam has set up the Brain Mind & Memory Institute and organised several workshops, webinars, and conferences dedicated to the field.

Rustam is a fellow member of the Applied Neuroscience Society of Australasia and actively supports the society’s mission to promote Neuromodulation methods in mental health. In his spare time, Rustam enjoys being in natural surroundings and the bush. He has found long meditation retreats helpful for his spiritual and physical well-being and practices Buddhist insight meditation with a focus on mindfulness and loving kindness.

With a foundation in biochemistry, Radka Serpa brings a unique blend of science and natural health to her work. Her professional journey began in the field of biochemistry, where she developed a deep understanding of the body’s chemical and cellular processes. A long-standing interest in holistic health later informed her transition into more integrative approaches.

Over time, her passion for integrative health led her to seek out complementary approaches that consider both the physical and energetic aspects of wellbeing. Radka is now a well-versed practitioner in frequency-based technology developed in Germany. This non-invasive method uses a biofeedback system to observe energetic patterns in the body as part of her wider assessment process.

She works in close collaboration with other practitioners and modalities, ensuring a well-rounded and integrative approach for her clients. Radka is committed to ongoing learning and stays current with developments in both scientific and holistic fields.

Bianca is a qualified naturopath, medicinal herbalist and nutritionist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She takes a whole-person approach to wellbeing, exploring how the body's systems interact and the factors that may be influencing a person's health.

Her particular clinical interest lies in detoxification and regeneration, and in how herbal and nutritional medicine can be considered alongside other services available at the clinic. A long-standing collaboration with Dr. Reza Samvat sparked her interest in methylation, MTHFR, neurodevelopmental presentations, mood and children's wellbeing, which led her to further study in methylation, epigenetics, DNA profiling and pyrrole-related topics under leading educators in the field.

Bianca enjoys making complex biochemistry simple for her clients and regularly facilitates educational workshops in the community. Her consultations draw on comprehensive assessments, and where further clarity is helpful she may refer for functional pathology such as DNA testing, organic acid testing, food intolerance panels, microbiome stool analysis and hormone profiling to help guide an individualised wellness strategy with a strong focus on preventive care.
