Lifestyle Medicine provides an interdisciplinary, whole-system approach to the prevention and reversal of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases through the modification of the behavioural, social and environmental drivers.

I have a life-long passion for helping people and a strong drive for learning and innovation. I worked within the NZ medical system for 12 years and had found the conventional medical approach too reductionist. I have studied and trained in a variety of complementary therapies. In my practice, I endeavour to connect, hear people out and appreciate the whole person, within their unique context, respecting their believes and opinions. I am thorough and look for root causes. My management is tailored to the unique needs, of the person in front of me. I put a lot of emphasis on prevention. I work in partnership with my patients and other professionals to achieve wellbeing, whatever this may mean to the person in front of me. I work with people of all ages and descriptions.

I can help with a wide range of issues- both mental and physical. My special interests are:

• Mental wellbeing (e.g. anxiety, mood issues)
• Digestive health (e.g. IBS, reflux, constipation, food intolerances)
• Cardiometabolic health (e.g. type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure)
• Early life wellbeing (e.g. babies, mothers, and other carers, including sleep and breastfeeding).
