Telehealth

Anna is one of NZ's most broadly experienced and highly trained practitioners in the field of complementary medicine. She is one of only a small number of practitioners worldwide who have undertaken multiple full professional courses of training (in Anna's case: acupuncture, nutritional medicine, chiropractic, heart-centred counselling, lifestyle medicine certification) which she is then able to integrate within her practice to the benefit of patients. This, coupled with over 30 years of experience as a practitioner (and enhanced by her experience as mother of two!) allow her to offer a calm, centred, empathic approach to treatment that looks at the root cause(s) of ill health, honouring the individuality and unique needs of each patient.
