If you’ve been changing your diet, taking supplements, doing all the right things and still not getting the results you expected.

It often just means there are underlying factors that haven’t been fully uncovered yet.

This is where I come in

Rather than guessing or taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with you to understand what’s driving your symptoms looking at the full picture of your health, lifestyle, and history.

From there, we create a personalised plan that supports your body in a way that’s realistic, sustainable, and tailored to you.

What Clients Have To Say

  • "I went to see Kirstin for hormonal issues and headaches. I found Kirstin to have an outstanding level of professionalism and compassion. She listened intently to all the fine details of my case and put together a simple and achievable treatment plan that to my surprise hit the nail on its head within a couple of months of being on the program. She clearly has a deep understanding of natural health and passion for this line of work. I highly recommend Kirstin’s naturopathic practice to anyone wanting a high level of treatment and a committed practitioner to making sure you achieve your goals."

    - Nikki

  • "Kirstin picked up on an issue with my heart that my Doctor did not. I am pleased to be able to push for further testing to establish what is going on while there is 'nothing wrong. Now after one year and getting a second Doctor's opinion; they have found there is something wrong. I have now been referred to a Cardiologist for further testing"

    - Jason

  • "My 5 year old son had mild hyperactivity and a skin irritation. I took him to see Kirstin and after a couple of weeks of taking the herbal formula his attention span was a lot better and he had calmed right down. She also recommended increasing good fats in his diet to improved his skin and gave me easy to follow instructions on how to do this. What stood out the most is she gave me the tools to keep his mind busy as she presented the idea that he maybe not challenged enough therefore having that extra energy at the end of the day. I really appreciate the lifestyle advice on top of the nutrition and herbs. I am really happy with the outcome. Thank you Kirstin. "

    - Nikki

    - Jaz

  • "Kirstin is amazing! I haven’t felt this good for a long time. I started going to Kirstin in October as I had been training hard for an event and my body was feeling tired. Kirstin has done a great job keeping my body functioning well. I coped well at my event (a Karate black belt grading). She understands the physiology of the body and has given me great advice. Her massages are awesome. I continue to go to Kirstin on a regular basis."

    - Angela

  • "Kirstin was my massage therapist when she was based in Waikato and I can honestly say she is an excellent massage therapist. Absolutely divine back and head massage. Best lymphatic drainage of the legs (ok so that part was not divine but necessary). My loss, Hastings gain!"

    - Glenda

  • "Wow, BEST massage I have had in a long time, can't believe how my shoulders feel so relaxed, was such a lovely relaxing experience, beautiful warm environment, will definitely be making this a regular occurrence as I do a lot of driving and get stressed and feel it in my back, yet woke up today with no tightness at all - Thanks so much Kirstin, see you next month for ANOTHER!!!!!!!!"
