About Us
Hi there! I'm Anita,
A naturopath and pharmacist with a passion
for holistic health.
For over 30 years, I’ve been helping people just like you achieve their wellness goals across New Zealand, England and India. My journey has given me a unique perspective – I speak both ‘doctor’ and ‘natural health’, bridging the gap between traditional medicine and nature’s remedies.
Born in Pukekohe, I am the granddaughter of Gujarati Indian immigrants and speak some Gujarati.
My wanderlust has taken me from Ethiopia to Kathmandu, Scandinavia, Russia and Eastern Europe
You can often find me tending my garden or whipping up flavourful whole food dishes
When I'm not learning about the latest in health, I'm probably lost in a rom-com novel
My qualifications might sound fancy (I’m a registered Pharmacist, Naturopath, Medical Herbalist, and Health Coach), but what really matters is how I can help you. Let’s work together to create a health plan that’s as unique as you are.
Make Sense of What Your Body Is Telling You
The signs are there.
But no one has explained what they really mean.
You can feel your body changing.
Your cholesterol is rising.
Your blood pressure is creeping up.
Your waistline no longer responds the way it used to.
And despite doing everything you’ve always been told is “right”… the numbers keep climbing.
It’s confusing.
It’s discouraging.
And quietly—it’s worrying.
But this isn’t random. And it’s not something you should ignore.
This Is Why I Do What I Do
I’m passionate about helping women take back control of their health — before small warning signs become life-changing diagnoses.
Together, we work to:
• Balance hormones and stabilise metabolism
• Support healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
• Restore energy, confidence, and clarity
• Protect your long-term health — so you can live fully, not fearfully

There Is a Reason This Is Happening
Metabolism Under Strain
These changes are common in midlife, but they are not simply a part of ageing. They often signal that your metabolism is under increasing pressure and needs attention before more serious health concerns develop.
$199
Hormonal & Lifestyle Changes
Shifts in hormones, ongoing stress, and changes in how the body uses fuel can work together. This combination often affects cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight at the same time.
Energy Processing Changes
Your body may no longer process energy as efficiently as it once did. As these changes build over time, underlying pressure can develop and begin affecting multiple areas of health and wellbeing.

More Than Symptom Control
Many women are advised to simply monitor these changes or start medication. Yet the underlying causes are often left unexplained, making it difficult to create meaningful and lasting improvements.

This Is Where I Do
Things Differently
As a pharmacist and naturopath, I’ve seen far too many women put on lifelong medication—without being given the opportunity to address what’s driving it.
You deserve more than having your numbers managed.
You deserve to understand your body—and change its direction.
When You Address the Root Cause, Everything Shifts
I help women act early—before these changes become disease—so they can protect their vitality, independence, and future health.
Together, we work to:
Restore your body’s fuel system so your energy becomes stable
and reliable again
Support healthy cholesterol balance—not just suppress it
Lower blood pressure naturally by addressing what’s driving it
Stabilise blood sugar and insulin so weight gain finally makes sense—
and begins to shift

to try harder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in the free assessment call?
The free metabolic assessment call is a relaxed 15–20 minute conversation where we discuss your current health concerns, symptoms, goals, and challenges. You’ll gain clarity around what may be contributing to issues like fatigue, rising cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, or weight changes. It’s also an opportunity to understand how support works and whether the next step feels right for you.
How is a naturopathic consultation different from a GP visit?
A naturopathic consultation focuses on understanding the bigger picture of your health rather than only managing symptoms. Sessions take a deeper look into your health history, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, hormones, digestion, and lab results to identify root causes. The goal is to create a personalised plan that supports long-term wellbeing alongside existing healthcare when needed.
Do you work with women who are already on medication?
Yes. Many women seek support while already taking medication for cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, or other concerns. Care focuses on supporting overall health through nutrition, lifestyle, and evidence-informed strategies while working alongside your medical care. Any medication decisions always remain between you and your prescribing doctor.
What conditions do you help with?
Support is available for concerns related to metabolic health, including fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, stress, gut health, energy, and preventative wellness. Care aims to help uncover root causes and improve overall health, confidence, and quality of life.
Can I do consultations online?
Yes. Online consultations make it easy to access support from the comfort of home. Virtual appointments provide the same personalised guidance, recommendations, and ongoing support, making it convenient to prioritise health no matter where you live.
What is the REAL Method?
The REAL Method is a personalised framework designed to support better metabolic and long-term health through a structured process: Reveal, Evaluate, Address, Lifestyle, and Transform. The approach focuses on uncovering root causes, understanding the body more deeply, creating practical strategies, building sustainable habits, and supporting lasting health improvements.
