Hi, I’m Selena, a naturopath, herbalist and mum to three spirited boys.

I have 12 years experience in natural health, supporting individuals and families to achieve optimal well being. I have mentored students through their naturopathic and nutrition studies for 4 years subcontracting to the Naturopathic College of New Zealand. I have a strong passion for nutrition and consider it the foundation and cornerstone to good health. This is a key area in my wellness plans.

Prior to studying naturopathy, I travelled the world for 6 years. Working as a chef in a variety of countries, from remote fly fishing rivers in arctic Russia to Highclere Castle in Berkshire, England. The food I cooked was always devoured and praised though a disparity began to arise. After eating ( though tasty) it left me feeling heavy and lethargic. I started to make connections between what I ate and how it made me feel. My interest in nutrition lead me to work in an organic restaurant/hotel in the Yorkshire dales. After endless weeks reading many nutrition books, I realised I needed to study this further.

I returned home to New Zealand to study a 2 year diploma of nutrition, still hungry for more I continued to complete a 3 year diploma of naturopathy and herbal medicine. Furthering my studies to complete a Bachelor of Naturopathy.

Now settled in Auckland, New Zealand, I continue to support individuals and families to achieve health through nutrition, herbal medicine, supplementation and lifestyle.
