I first met and started working with Jenny at the start of my 2002 Super 12 season.She was a breath of fresh air after 6 years of playing professional rugby and having battled injuries and health issues during that time where antibiotics and traditional western-medical pain relief was issued. Until then, I had also spent the most part of my career obsessing about eating the right types of food – high carb’s; low fat; as well as ingesting my fair share of medicines.
My issues were: Weight: Yes some may laugh as I am a prop and you’d think the more the merrier, alas, no.
Fatigue: I was lacking in energy despite all the so called ‘good food’ I was eating.
Endurance: Training each week in order to play 80 minutes of rugby week-in, week-out for the most part of 48 weeks/year; was leaving me with little reserves.
Dear Jenny Firstly, I would just like to say a big “Congratulations on an
excellent, informative website”. I’m also delighted to report to you the feed
back I got from my parents at Papakura Junior Athletic Club was very positive
& much appreciated. We would like to thank you for all your time and effort
from you and your Staff on an awesome & very professional job on Nutrition
with our athletes to enhance their performance & energy levels.
"I have been seeing Tarryn at Discover for a year and a half now and it has made such an impact on my life. As well as helping with my asthma, eczema and allergies she has helped me lose weight, improve my PCOS helping me to get pregnant and have a beautiful, healthy baby boy. Tarryn has been really supportive throughout the process and as a result I have recommended some friends in a similar situation to start seeing her, both with fantastic results. Along with the consultations I have also attended 2 of the seminars Discover provides and found the Mother and Baby one especially informative before I got pregnant. "
Recently I went to a power of food seminar and found it so informing and motivating that I wanted to spread the word to the members of our fitness centres throughout South Auckland. The fitness centres run a yearly 10 week challenge and I thought it would be perfect to incorporate this into the challenge along with the services Discover Naturopathy offers. Tarryn and Jen were great! They tailored the nutrition seminar to cover the importance of timing of meals around exercise and the importance of combining exercise and nutrition to get the best results - perfect!
My name is Barbara Hayward and I am a T/8-9 Paraplegic. I suffer from four, grade 4, pressure areas on my buttocks. I also have a low immune system that leaves me susceptible to any bugs going, especially the everyday flu. Prior to meeting Anil I was in and out of hospital with pneumonia and my wounds were not healing at all.
I made an appointment with Anil, because I had lost my confidence and was depressed. I was impressed by Anil’s extensive and in-depth knowledge of homeopathy and the human psyche, and his gentle and compassionate yet clear and direct approach. He was spot on with his assessment, which gave me a deeper understanding what is going on for me. The medicine he prescribed together with the grounded advice he gave me led to a breakthrough in my confidence and my perspective on my life. I now feel confident, alive and excited about life, and my life is flowing again..

Testimonial for Jenny
I was a full time student when I was recommended to see Jenny. Trying to eat healthy on a budget with just enough money to live on each was challenging. Being a cautious person I researched Jenny to find out how a naturopath could help me & how expensive this help was going to be. Something in her website at the time made me believe that this lady might be able to help me, so I took a chance & booked my initial consultation. What a relief! The detailed questionnaire I had to fill in reassured me that she was prepared to dig deep to find the compounding factors that had caused me to feel exhausted for years. Jenny was very understanding of my situation, so she only recommended further tests & supplements to me that she felt confident were a necessity. This was going to be a process, not a quick fix. Through Jenny’s support & advice over the years I have managed to isolate the triggers of my fatigue & learn strategies to keep it at bay. A big bonus was understanding which foods irritated me. By avoiding these foods I can keep my weight constant without much effort involved. My body shape & energy levels are significantly better, that was 7 years ago & I am still visiting her.
