At Herbs on the Hill, we understand that abiding by naturopathic advice can be easier said than done. Everyday activities such as work, study and socialising can detract the best of intentions quite easily.

Our approach to naturopathy and herbal medicine takes this into account. Our treatment plans are realistic, with all herbal medicine, vitamin, mineral and diet prescriptions carefully selected to be manageable and effective.

With a Registered Nurse background, I have been in private practice as a Naturopath since 1992. Over this time, I have developed a passion for Herbs and their wonderful healing and regenerative qualities, particularly in the last 10 years in relation to Anxiety and Depression. Herbal Medicine is ideal for treating many common health problems. These include chronic disorders such as arthritis, asthma, skin disorders and digestive problems which usually respond well. One of the greatest strengths of herbal medicine is the way it can improve the functioning of the immune system and nervous system – extremely important given the demands of our modern lives.

My passion for herbal medicine started a decade ago with my own fertility journey. When I found herbal medicine and Māori traditional healing practices, it opened a door to whole new world, and the barriers disappeared. This inspired me to start studying, leading to a deeper understanding and my wish to share my knowledge with others. To help them to remove health barriers and achieve their health goals too.
