Anna McAnndra
About
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: chiropractic, acupuncture, nutritional medicine, heart-centred counselling, lifestyle medicine Board certification, yoga teacher training, mindset coaching) 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.
