Why I'm standing

I am an incredibly proud kiwi who cares very deeply about New Zealand. I have a strong sense of justice and believe all kiwis should have freedom of choice. The NZ Bill of Rights must be protected. As a naturopath, I believe our freedom to choose quality health supplements is a must. Our health, cost of living, education, safety, support of our food producers, and letting our kids be kids are all high priorities to me.

About me

I am a wife, mother, business owner, naturopath, fitness fusion dance teacher, and educator; which gives me a wealth of experience in the everyday 'real world'. With over twenty-five years of experience in the health industry, my expertise can certainly help make a difference. I am passionate about proactive health - rather than reacting when it's too late. I believe the health and education of our children will have a huge impact on our economic future.

My priorities
  1. Repeal the Therapeutics Products Bill. All kiwis have a right to choose quality supplements.
  2. Keep our Northland communities safe starting with better-resourced frontline policing.
  3. Improve the health of all Northlanders by being proactive with better resourcing in primary care.
