Whakatane Natural Health Centre
Extending your HEALTH choices
Our Mission
For us to stand up next to the medical profession, not behind them and not in front of them,
but next to them, to say, we are here and we can help, and we are professional.
We are here to compliment each other as well as any other health practitioner.
We are here for our clients, to help them achieve better health.
We are not disease focused, we are health focused.
We do not treat symptoms, we treat people.
Helping people back to health is only part of what we do, the other part is to help people to
maintain their health.
To meet the strong demand for Natural medicine, and not hide in back bedrooms and garages.
We are in the public eye, standing up, making our presence felt, with our focus firmly on
the well-being of our clients, so that people can see that they have other options.
It's about HEALTH

Karen Ladd An NZQA accredited massage therapist, Karen says positive touch has long been recognised as essential for wellbeing. While it acts physically on the body it also has a positive effect on a person's mental and emotional condition and acts as a "drugless" method of stress management. "People who have regular massage are healthier, happier and more productive in all that they do," she says.
Available Monday to Friday.
