Kia ora - 'Great health begins with Self-care'
The wellness industry is full of noise these days, online influencers & health gurus telling you what to do - it's exhausting!
I am an old-fashioned practitioner, offering you some precious space to take a deep dive into your unique health journey. Together we can find some great ways for you to feel happier, healthier & more positive every day.
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I like to see myself as a bit of a detective, carefully listening to your personal story, getting an idea of who you are and what factors are affecting your health. My aim is to combine traditional knowledge with the latest scientific research & add a dose of common sense to find your perfect natural health prescription.
As a happily aging woman, my personal journey has informed my clinical practice, which is now focused on menopause management, healthy aging and women's wellness.
Helping you walk towards feeling great one step at a time, (at your own pace), so you can enjoy optimal health and vitality.
