A Complete Guide to Seeing a Naturopath in Auckland: What to Expect

 

So… what does a naturopath actually do?

Think of a naturopath as someone who looks at your body like a beautifully complex ecosystem, not a collection of disconnected symptoms trying to cause chaos.

My job is to:

  • Listen (really listen)

  • Investigate what’s going on beneath the surface

  • Explain things in normal human language

  • Create a plan tailored to your body, your life, and your capacity

Whether you’re dealing with hormonal ups and downs, a microbiome that’s acting like a rebellious teenager, or symptoms you've tried everything for, naturopathy offers a whole-person approach designed just for you.\

Can I See You If You Don’t Live in Auckland? Absolutely.

Although many people find me by searching for a naturopath in Auckland, all of my consultations are actually held online. This means you can work with me whether you’re in Auckland, elsewhere in New Zealand, or tucked away in a tiny town where the nearest café doubles as the post office. Online appointments are relaxed, accessible, and give you all the same support — just without the commute, parking stress, or rushing out the door with half a smoothie in your hand.

Your First Appointment: What to Expect

A Conversation That Goes Well Beyond “How are you?”

Your initial consultation is a 60-minute deep dive — the helpful kind, not the overwhelming kind. We talk about:

  • Your health history

  • Blood test results

  • Future testing options and steps to move forward

  • Hormones

  • Stress and sleep

  • Digestion (yes, even the awkward bits)

  • Past treatments

  • Patterns that might be hiding between the lines

It’s a relaxed, spacious conversation where your story actually matters.

Advanced Testing (when needed)

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn or recurrent infections, microbiome issues, or symptoms that simply won’t budge, I use a myriad of testing options including Next Generation Gene Testing, Dutch, Endomap, Microbiome stool testing and more.
It gives detailed insights into what’s really happening inside — like turning on a light in a dark room.

I also work closely with a GP in the United States, so when cases get complex, there’s a supportive clinical team behind you.

A Personalised Plan That Doesn’t Take Over Your Life

Your wellness plan may include:

  • Nervous system support

  • Functional Testing

  • Herbal medicine

  • Nutritional therapy

  • Hormonal support

  • Microbiome protocols

  • Realistic lifestyle shifts

Nothing extreme, nothing rigid — just gentle, evidence-informed support that fits into your actual life. I am here to help you habit stack and work towards your health goals, at the pace you want to go.

Follow-Up Sessions

Follow-ups (30 minutes) give us time to:

  • Track your progress

  • Adjust your plan

  • Review test results

  • Celebrate the wins (even the small ones)

  • Tweak things that aren’t quite landing

Healing rarely moves in a straight line, but follow-ups make sure you feel supported along the way.

Why Work With a Naturopath?

People often seek out naturopathy when they’re ready for:

  • A practitioner who truly listens

  • Answers to long-standing health questions

  • Individualised support

  • A holistic approach that respects the whole person

As a naturopath in Auckland, my focus is women’s hormonal health, resistant infections, and gut health. However I also work with a variety of other conditions on a weekly basis.
