COMMUNITY
Community | Collaboration | Connection
A patient's health care and well being is very important to me.
I am very particular who I collaborate with to ensure my patients receive gold-standard quality of care and products I truly believe in.
Below are a list of practitioners, clinics, companies, and products I currently work with in New Zealand, and still connect with overseas.

HEART PLACE HOSPITAL
Jacqui is a leading the multidimensional revolution from Mangawhai, Northland, New Zealand with the healing health and education system and charity she has founded Heart Place Hospital.
Heart Place Hospital works as a conduit connecting front-line visitors to healed service providers to support them to avoid or recover from burnout, creating healthy boundaries, and crafting a life that best suits them to thrive
Our mission is to offer the kind of care that has been missing. The kind of care would have kept many in their carer roles rather than tapping out. The kind of advice, support and tools we all need to advocate for ourselves, keep ourselves topped up and able to continue doing what we love and meet the needs and expectations of the recipients of care.
ERGOHUMAN CHAIRS
When it comes to ergonomic chairs, I am very particular with what I recommend for clients.
Living abroad, and working in the Corporate Wellness arena, I realise now that I was spoilt with incredible quality and variety.
Now being back in New Zealand, I took my time to find a quality chair range to recommend to clients, that have all the ergonomic adjustment possibilities to truly provide an individualised set up - especially when it comes to pain and injury prevention.
ERGOHUMAN chairs are a true representative of where ergonomics meet comfort and luxury.
I am proud to have collaborated with ERGOHUMAN with their fantastic range and quality of ergonomic chairs.
Purchase your new Ergohuman office chair online and receive their exclusive Extended 5 Year New Zealand Warranty. Also enjoy VIP Pricing on accessories and a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee.
For the Auckland Metro region, my clients can also receive free delivery.

MCKENZIE INSTITUTE NEW ZEALAND
Qualified Credentialed Therapist under Scholarship since 2008
"This philosophy of active patient involvement is trusted and used by clinicians globally for the assessment, treatment, education and empowerment of patients with back, neck and extremities disorders."
Since graduating University and becoming a credentialed Mckenzie therapist, it has taught me how critical it is to empower the patient to take on their own journey of self healing and recovery. Education is a critical role we have as Physiotherapists, and this method combined with other treatment options can create successful outcomes.
VANESSA WERNER BIRTHCARE
Vanessa is a prenatal educator and Birth and Postpartum doula based in Auckland supporting women and nurturing new families.
“It all starts with the mothers. This is why the support I offer is my true commitment. The work of a birth and postpartum doula must always be of good intention and integrity.”
It is Vanessa’s passion to bring forward the right education around childbirth and in doing so, creating a respectful birth culture with a strong sense of community, support and resource.
HOUSE OF HEALTH
The House of Health is a Natural Health Clinic located in Mt Albert, Auckland, New Zealand. They are a consultation hub of leading naturopaths and nutritional consultants including Sharon Erdrich and Emma Gardiner who I commonly refer my patients to.
They blend together the wisdom of the ages with traditional herbal medicine and nutritional foundations. Their naturopaths’ are trained to use natural products, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments to balance your health issues. They are experienced in pathology testing and diagnosing your stomach issues. They have diagnostic tests including breath tests that help find the cause of stomach problems. They have bespoke specialty products that their professional consultants can recommend to you based on your personal circumstances.
Digestive dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome and bacterial infections are only some of the causes of poor gut health. Emma Gardiner also assists me with specific women's health concerns e.g. endometriosis, preconception and ante natal support. Sharon is also currently doing her PHd studying the link between Fibromyalgia and gut microbiome dysfunction.
They are also available online for telehealth consultations.
BLOCKBLUELIGHT
IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP & ENERGY
Everyone is familiar with the feeling of being over exposed to blue light. For office workers, it can be headaches or migraines, tired or irritated eyes, and the digital eye strain brought on by hours focusing on a screen under harsh artificial lighting. For those who like to unwind at the end of the day by gaming or watching a few episodes of their favourite show, it can feel like the strange restlessness that doesn’t let you get to sleep.
Each of these problems can be traced back to our blue light consumption. Excessive exposure to blue light can be harmful to our eyes, sleep, and to our health and wellbeing. Posing problems long term by inducing degenerative problems in our eyes and disrupting the normal biological processes of the body.
You can combat these problems by reducing your cumulative blue light exposure with the use of BlockBlueLight glasses, and altering the lightbulbs in your home.
MARIQUE KNIGHT
B.CS, IIN, Ihp2
Integrative Health Practitioner & Wellness Coach
As an Integrative Health Practitioner, Marique looks for the underlying reasons why someone isn’t feeling their best. Whether it’s digestive issues, stubborn kilos that won’t shift or energy that’s MIA… these are all signs that something is out of balance in the body. Instead of masking these symptoms with a quick fix, together with her clients she explores what’s really going on, from a root cause level, to address these once and for all.
Her approach incorporates 7 integrative disciplines, including Naturopathy & Functional Medicine, and by drawing from these she supports her clients in making the nutritional, lifestyle and mindset changes necessary to achieve vibrant health and vitality. The body has an incredible capacity to heal when we give it what it needs, and take away what it doesn’t, which is exactly what she helps with.
Her mission is to inspire, educate and empower people to nourish and heal themselves, so they can tap into their true potential, and live in harmony with their body, mind and Mother Nature.
GREEN 8 EMF SUPPORTING PRODUCTS
In 2018, I had some eye-opening sessions with a Kinesiologist. As part of her initial examination, she assessed my nervous systems response when I was holding my cellphone. It was evident that my strength on testing was reduced. The EMFs (Electromagnetic Fields) we are exposed to everyday by smartphones, laptops, bluetooth devices, wifi etc. have an effect on our body. It was extremely fascinating to me given the field I work in.
After doing my own research, I decided to take her advice and try some of the Green 8 products. My sleep finally started to improve and I was feeling more refreshed and not requiring coffee to give me energy in the morning. It continued to improve even further when I also started turning off the phone/wifi among other melatonin enhancing methods - e.g. monitoring light exposure in the evening, healthy eating and earlier eating times, mental wellness practices and appropriate types and timings of exercise.
Explanation:
"As an electromagnetic being, a person reacts with his own body’s vibrations to exterior vibrations. When cells are disrupted by negative information, biological processes are thrown off balance resulting in stress for body and mind.
The GREEN 8 GOLD® technology may neutralise the negative frequency of the electromagnetic fields by emitting positive frequency.
Behind this is the principle of interference: in a 180 degree shift, a positive vibration is set against the negative interference frequency. It may harmonise the negative information, gently eliminating the stress on living organisms. This phenomenon of destructive interference is also known from noise-cancelling headphones: noise waves created by an external source and sound waves created by the headphone speaker cancel each other out. The result is silence."

UDARA RETREAT BALI
My time spent at Udara was one of the most rejuvinating and relaxing experiences I have ever had. I established some sound relationships with managers and employees here. HAVEN WELLNESS will be hosting retreats here once we are able to travel again.
"Udara Bali is an integrated healing yoga resort offering wellness and detox lifestyle to alleviate the stress of modern living. Nestled between the Indian ocean, rice fields and surrounded with ancient temples, Udara sets the mood for a relaxing and authentic Bali holiday.
