Kia ora, I'm Shanell (she/her)
Founder
I am a degree-qualified naturopath, medical herbalist, and a Rongoā Māori student. My passion for natural health comes from wanting to help people improve their well-being in a meaningful, sustainable, and ethical way. I value empowerment, particularly when it comes to health, so supporting and educating individuals to take care of themselves and their whānau really appeals to me.
Stemming from my own health experiences, I have a keen interest in women’s reproductive health, particularly endometriosis, as well as mental health, stress and burnout. My naturopathic approach is to support the person, get the basics right first to create a solid foundation and build from there to target specific goals.
I understand how worrying and isolating it can feel to have health issues, and I'm here to let you know that you're not alone and there is support here for you. I also know how our own health concerns can be put at the bottom of the priority list until something goes wrong. Investing in your health is self-care and is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family.
Wherever you are on your health journey, I will meet you without judgment. Together, we can work towards your health goals and fill up your cup to help you thrive!
