Doing health differently
I believe health is a skill that can be developed
Naturopath & medical herbalist, B.NatMed
Tessa Hogan
My driving passion behind being a naturopath comes from a deep interest in the human body, how it works and how we can look after it. I was raised on natural medicine and nutrition, and this grew into a passion when I combined this with an understanding of human biology.
What drew me to study functional medicine over traditional medicine was the respect I have always had for the body's ability to look after itself. I wanted to learn how to foster this to help people find lasting health, rather than use tools which take over the body's natural function.
I work with my clients to find what it is driving the imbalance in their health and identify sustainable solutions to promote their body's ability to heal itself.
My particular areas of interest are in hormonal health and the nervous system - both big drivers behind conditions I see a lot in my clinic.
Outside of work I love to spend time running, hiking, mountain biking and skiing. I love being in the mountains and escaping to the beach when I can.

I came to be a Naturopath after experiencing my own health concerns in my younger years with my menstrual cycle, mental health, and my sports performance and recovery.
I am incredibly passionate about holistic care, and wanted to teach my clients life-long skills to support not only their health, but their whānau and community too.
My areas of interest are digestive health, mental health and nervous system support, sports performance and recovery, and hormonal health.
Outside of naturopathy I am a lover of music and arts, the outdoors and moving my body - surfing, hiking, yoga, and I am a keen kickboxer with more upcoming fights planned for 2023.
