Meet Irene Preston
Irene holds a Bachelor of Natural Medicine (BNatMed) from the South Pacific College of Natural Medicine and has been practising for 15 years.
She is deeply committed to natural medicine and has a special interest in neurodiversity and brain function.
As a mother of two and grandmother of four, she understands the profound impact holistic health has on family life. Her personal journey, especially in helping her daughter manage a neurological disorder with naturopathic wisdom, fuels her dedication to helping clients reduce pain and achieve their best possible lives.
In addition to her clinical practice, Irene actively engages in community education by hosting workshops and seminars on natural health topics. She believes that empowering individuals with knowledge about nutrition, herbal remedies, and lifestyle choices can foster healthier communities. By sharing her expertise, Irene aims to demystify alternative medicine and inspire others to take charge of their wellness through proactive, informed decisions.
Our philosophy: empowering children's health journey
Our core belief is to support your child toward a healthier, more vibrant life. We provide natural medicine that works alongside conventional treatments or offers alternatives when traditional medicine may fall short. Our goal is to use our knowledge and experience to help you improve your child's life and guide you in supporting them toward optimal well-being.
