Jenny has been assisting people make choices about their healthcare for all of her adult life. She started her career as an enrolled nurse in the late 1980’s and then moved on to study many of the natural health practices available today, including Massage, Ayurvedic Lifestyle, Naturopathy and Medical Herbalism. With the support of her husband and their two sons after graduating from Wellpark College with a double diploma in Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine she went on to establish one of the finest centres for Naturopathy in Ponsonby, Auckland, in 2002.
With many of her clients requiring high performance nutrition, Jen has specialised in helping people from elite sporting arenas through to assisting couples with fertility issues. Her desire to impart knowledge inspires many others to follow in her footsteps and she has been instrumental in changing the lives of many of her clients and their families. She is passionate about learning and laughing in more or less equal doses. Jen’s ability to pass on complex information in the most simplistic form enabled her to take on the role of Sports Nutrition lecturer, from 2002 at Wellpark College, and is excited to have been invited to take the position of Nutrition Lecturer at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic from 2007.
Having been in practice for 7 years, and with growing need for education in the community Jen is asked to present to corporates on many aspects of natural health, diet and stress management. She has appeared on Sky Sport 365 Live, Inside NZ documentary - What is really in our Food?, and has written for magazines such as NZ Fitness, as well as the Girls Day Out website.
Jen was so proud to be part of the Discover team, that in December 2006 she became one of the directors. As part of the teams’ long-term vision of wider community health and awareness of Nutritional and Herbal therapies she welcomes the opportunity to spread the wisdom of Natural Health. As complementary and preventative medicine is continuing to gather momentum in New Zealand, she is dedicated to being part of the collective that is assisting people in making informed choices about their health and their treatments.
