    Blood Test Review

    Have recent blood test results? Bring them to your consultation.

    Even if you’ve been told everything is “normal,” there’s often more beneath the surface. Standard ranges don’t always reflect optimal health.

    No recent blood work? That’s okay. We’ll decide on the best starting point for your health and, if needed, I’ll show you exactly which tests to request and how to access them in New Zealand.

    Once I have your results i’ll review them through a functional lens, identify any gaps, and guide you through them and advice on further testing if needed. From there you can book in an Initial consultation to create a personalised plan that supports your energy, balance, and long-term wellbeing.

    Please note: Blood tests requested through a naturopath are not funded. Your local lab will arrange payment.
