Overview of discussion points:

We will look at the diagnostics of both anxiety and depression and correlate the signs and symptoms of the diagnosis to that of nutrient deficiencies.
Explanation will be given to the scenarios that lead to this and the common underlying comorbidities which are often a core for presentation.
Then an overview of treatment plans looking at nutritional and herbal support and lifestyle changes to promote recovery and healing.

I trained approximately 30 years ago in England as a mental health nurse. During my life journey I have paid attention to people’s health experience as well as having my own health challenges. This led me to learn and explore nutrition, herbs, spirituality and so much more. I am passionate about helping people understand how their body communicates it’s needs to them and how they can respond, nurturing themselves and helping them to grow as a person.

President of NPANZ

The Nurses' Professional Association of New Zealand (NPANZ) is a union whose principal purpose is to protect and promote the interests of members in matters concerning their employment or professional engagement. No membership fees are used to support any political party, so we are able to source and/or provide representation for all members, on all issues, better than our competitors.

NPANZ supports:

Restructuring healthcare to focus on patient care above all.
Decentralising hospitals away from the current bureaucrat-heavy system to one that puts hospitals back in the hands of front-line healthcare workers.
Preventing the erosion of the nursing scope of practice.
Making it easier for nurses to speak out publicly without fearing for their registrations.
Work with the Ministry of Health and private employers to ensure nurses are receiving their minimum entitlements (including workplace safety, discrimination, industrial disputes, payroll issues & more).

NPANZ remains fully committed to defending your right to perform your work without unnecessary interference from Government bureaucrats and respects the enormous amount of education undergone to achieve this right.

Are we a registered trade union?

Yes NPANZ is a registered trade union!

Are you run by nurses?

The NPANZ executive structure is different to other competitors. Our elected executive consist of a President, Vice-President and Treasurer who must all be nurses, these executive members make all policy decisions for NPANZ.

The Secretary is appointed by the executive under the constitution and does not make policy decisions. Instead, the Secretary sees to the day-to-day operations of the organisation on behalf of the executive.

When we say "Run by Nurses for Nurses" we mean it.
