Hi, I’m Kirsten. I’m a clinical naturopath, clinical nutritionist and clinical herbalist, as well as an early childhood teacher, doula and lifelong nature lover. I founded Wairua Naturopathic Health to help people feel empowered, understood and supported on their journey towards better health.

I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between our bodies, our environment, nutrition and emotional wellbeing. This curiosity eventually became a passion for helping others uncover the underlying causes of their health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms.

My background in education, nutrition and natural medicine has shaped the way I practise today. I believe every person is unique, which is why every treatment plan is personalised to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

I’m inspired by the many influences that shape our health, from the air we breathe and the food we eat, to movement, relationships, emotional wellbeing and our connection with nature. I believe lasting wellness comes from supporting the whole person: body, mind and spirit.

I enjoy supporting people of all ages, with a particular interest in women’s health, children’s health, digestive health and functional testing. My consultations are designed to be collaborative, compassionate and practical, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to take an active role in your health.

Outside the clinic you’ll usually find me spending time in nature, with family & friends, dancing, caring for animals or continuing to learn through professional education. Dance has always been an important part of my life, reminding me of the powerful connection between movement, body and emotional wellbeing.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey to better health.
