About Maxine Immelman
Naturopath, Herbalist, Author & Founder of ALIVE Holistic Healing
Maxine Immelman is a qualified naturopath, herbalist, author and the founder of ALIVE Holistic Healing. Based in South Africa, she has dedicated her life to helping people and their pets find true, lasting wellness through root cause healing.
Her approach is deeply holistic — she looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms. Through careful consultation, Maxine explores the emotional, physical, nutritional and environmental factors that may be contributing to imbalance. She works with natural remedies including herbs, tissue salts, flower essences, nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
Maxine's love for animals led her to develop a comprehensive holistic approach to pet wellness, with a particular focus on dogs. Her ALIVE Holistic Dog Health Guide has helped countless dog parents care for their companions naturally.
As an author, Maxine has written several books including The Language of Flowers, The Healing Garden, The Herbal Grimoire for Healing and the Going Wild series. Each book is crafted with care, combining practical guidance with beautiful design.
Her latest creation, the ALIVE Companion App, brings her healing philosophy into the digital age — offering symptom guidance, wellness profiles and daily support for people, families, dogs and cats.
"I believe in treating the root cause, not just the symptom. True healing happens when we listen to what the body is trying to tell us."
