ABOUT ME

I am a licensed medical doctor in New Zealand and a retired specialist anaesthetist (MD, FANZCA), with extensive experience in pain medicine (FFPMANZCA) and perioperative care. Over time, my deep interest in the root causes of health and disease led me to pursue functional medicine. I am now a proud member of both the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM).

Functional medicine allows me to approach health by seeing the whole person—not just isolated symptoms. This patient-centred model focuses on uncovering the underlying imbalances driven by lifestyle, environment, and genetics. It has not only transformed how I support others but has also deeply inspired my own journey of growth and healing.
