About Dee

Deanna (Dee) is a naturopathic practitioner who specialises in nutritional medicine and prides herself on providing a warm, supportive and responsive service. Dee graduated with a degree in health sciences from the Australian College of Natural Medicine where she lived for six years before moving back to New Zealand.

Dee believes passionately in the practice of integrative medicine. As such, Dee's approach to wellness incorporates traditional diagnostic tools (such as iridology and tongue analysis) as well as more modern techniques, such as blood tests, bioimpedance and other such assessment tools.

She uses both nutritional and herbal medicines as part of her treatment approach, with a strong understanding of interactions between natural and pharmaceutical medicine due to both regular study and working in a large pharmacy in Australia for four years. This has meant Dee has been able to effectively and safely support individuals currently on prescription medication, and has worked in conjunction with General Practitioners (GPs) for the benefit of the patient.

Dee has a special interest in children's health, mental illness, stress and gastrointestinal disorders. She has also had positive results with a range of other conditions including autoimmune disease, reproductive ailments, men's health and weight management. Her focus on optimum health and wellness has extended to supporting athletes also.

A range of practitioner-only supplements may be recommended including Metagenics, Bioceuticals, Flordis, MediHerb, Orthoplex, Dr Veras and PhytoMed.
