Day 23 - Chemo #2
Hey – I’m Caro, a Holistic Health Practitioner
based on the beautiful Kapiti Coast
I’m passionate about supporting goals of optimal health & vitality, in all those prepared to commit to the journey.
Don’t be scared - the end goal is so worth it!!
That inset pic was me, late 2017, having chemo. This was part of my journey to become a “breast cancer thriver ”. I was very fortunate to have an easy treatment experience, which at times I’ve felt guilty about, having seen others having a very difficult time, and even worse … friends and family that did not make it.
This sort of thing pushes you to re-assess how you see life … all the silly things we worry about daily, seem so trivial, and what is important comes sharply into focus. So I think of my experience as one I’m very thankful for, as it nudged me out of doing a job just for the sake of paying bills, and into chasing my passion ... of wanting to help others.
We all deserve the right to be happy and healthy, and to live our best lives. Not everyone knows how to do this - my wish is to show you the way. P.S. This is only a tiny slice of my story - hopefully we get to know each other and I’ll get to hear your stories too 💗

Do you feel like something isn’t quite right?
You don’t need to have a diagnosis of something scary, to know things aren’t quite right – listen to your body.
Don’t blame age.
Don’t blame the kids, or the partner.
Certainly don’t think “this is my lot”, and just put up with it!
You deserve the greatest wealth …
optimal health!
Working with me
Make it work for you.
There are loads of ways we can work together.
We can do 1-to-1 sessions
The “Wellness Kickstart” bundles your initial consultation and first follow-up. In between I research, and personalise your Wellness Plan, that we get your started on in your second appointment
You can then book follow-ups as a set of 3 (saving 10%) or just pay as you go
Remember, accountability will keep you honest with yourself, and on track for your goals
You may occasionally want to book in for a “Help Now” acute consult - let’s say you’ve got a nasty flu, a new symptom, or want to go over some test results - book as and when needed
WORKPLACE WELLNESS presentations
Life today is pretty crazy - we are trying to manage family, relationships, finances, our health, a social life if we’re lucky - and we’ve got all the stresses of society, our economy, local and global politics, climate change … and then there is WORK!
We live in an epidemic of work related physical and mental stress with record levels of absenteeism, presenteeism, mental health related illnesses, not to mention “ship jumping” and low loyalty.
I offer engaging and interactive Workplace Wellness presentations to educate and empower organisations and their employees to take control of their physical and psychological health, and to take steps to lead a more balanced, happy and healthy life.
Online course - weekly LESSONS with my support
Get into the 6-week online course if you have a group of at least 6 - click below
You’ll get a weekly video lesson, weekly group Zoom call, and invite to a Facebook group
“From Blah to Spa” Your 6-week Health Makeover
We can do small group sessions - up to 90 minutes
Get together friends, family, workmates - whatever works for you - and let me know what your joint interest or challenge is … I can customise an education session for you
I will include quizzes, handouts, or other recommendations as appropriate for the topic
You may like a presentation to a larger group
These can be put together especially for you. Presentations are great for schools, or your community group. Browse the presentations in Workplace Wellness or get in touch with specific needs.
Knowledge is power!
Let’s get you feeling hopeful & excited about your wellness journey
My approach to wellness means working with your unique concerns to develop a bespoke wellness plan that is achievable, and supports you to wake each day with clarity, purpose & energy
I’m passionate about supporting goals of optimal health & vitality, in all those prepared to commit to the journey.
Don’t be afraid - the end goal is so worth it !!
How we can work together
-
1:1 Naturopathic Consultations
There are so many factors that can knock your health out of balance. Check out some of the conditions or dis-ease you may seek help with on the Clinic Services page.
Then you can choose if you’d prefer to start with the “Wellness Kickstart Reset” and then follow-up consultations as suit you, or check out some of the programmes that may be a perfect fit.
The programmes are generally where people see long-term success, as change can be tough without support.
-
Small Group Programmes
Maybe you’re not sure about working 1 on 1 with me yet, and would like to try it on for size, with some friends, family or workmates. Or perhaps you have a shared interest in a health topic and want to delve a little deeper, whilst sharing some costs.
Check out the online foundational training (with support):
“From Blah to Spa - Your 6 Week Health Makeover”
… or group sessions available to book. Email me with your requests, and time permitting, I can build something especially for you.
-
Workplace Wellness Solutions
Presentations are ideally pitched at workplaces for Workplace Wellness programmes. Happy, healthy staff take less sick days, show less “presenteeism”, and (tell your boss) providing such programmes is a real value-add to staff packages, encouraging loyalty.
Workshops will be offered from time to time - sign up to the waitlist to be the 1st to know, or get a group of 8 or more and book a PRIVATE session.
Email me any time with special requests for your group.
If you are interested in discussing a workshop or presentation at your school, community group, or workplace then GET IN TOUCH. Current workshops can be adapted to suit, or one can be built specifically to your requirements.
Kind words
“Three words: O!M!G!”
“I have been pretty strict with my plan and it has made a HUGE difference to my gut health. Much of the issues with those problem foods have disappeared, or at least lessened. I wake up with no rumbling tummy or griping. I have better energy.
This last weekend I went away for two days. I had foods from my ‘occasional’ list, even a burger and a few drinks. Woke up next day with no residual effects. The results have been amazing. So, an overwhelmingly positive result for me Caro - thank you so much. (My girlfriend) is now dying to meet you and see if you can help with her health issues”.
