Discover effective natural health solutions with Serina, your trusted Bay of Plenty naturopath in New Zealand. Helping you achieve vitality and balance. Meet Serina At Nourishe Botanicals, Serina Gardner is a Bachelor qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist and Nutritionist she is passionate about great skincare, herbal tea and living a life filled with good health, energy & laughter. As a mother, she understands how small changes in your health can make such dramatic changes to your whole family. Since her late teens, she has been drawn to natural health. After finishing high school, she realised they learned very little about the body or nutrition, so she started reading as much as she could on these topics. In her early twenties, Serina worked in the natural skincare industry learning and developing a deep love for aromatherapy, and became fascinated around the ingredients in skincare. She started making her own skincare products as a hobby, studying aromatherapy, and continuing to read as much as she could on nutrition, how to use herbs for health, and other natural home remedies. In 2007 she had her daughter, and then her husband had a massive accident involving 8 months in hospital and the following 2 years in recovery, which led to Serina going through burnout, illness, and years of chronic fatigue. She realised during this that life is short and you should do what you want with it! This was a huge learning curve but it gave Serina the courage to return to school and complete a Bachelor of Natural Medicine. She learned about goal setting and following her dreams rather than just talking about it, She also learned how to heal herself, love life, and how to help you live life to the fullest with the best health. After a great experience working in Health Shops directly with customers and gyms as a nutritionist, she challenged herself and in 2014 opened Nourishe Botanicals so she could help clients working as a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Medical Herbalist. Serina sees clients online for Health Consultation. She has the best of her products online for you to enjoy. She hopes you love them as much as she does. Registered Member

Book Naturopathy Consultation Shop Herbal Natural Remedies What is Naturopathy Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health that considers all body systems and focuses on supporting the body’s natural healing processes. As such, naturopaths evaluate all aspects of a person – mind, emotions, movement, nutrition, as well as all of the body systems. Looking into the underlying causes of illness, as balance is believed to be important in returning a person to optimal health and wellness. It is a complementary, not alternative, medicine – we work alongside allied and allopathic practitioners, including GPs. We believe that both naturopathy and medicine have important strengths in supporting the health of an individual. We use herbal medicine, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle support, alongside functional testing and blood tests, and will ask a lot of questions. Naturopaths work to address the root causes of imbalance rather than only managing symptoms. Common reasons people seek naturopathic support include hormone imbalance, digestive issues, fatigue, stress, immune health, and skin concerns.

She is a very skilled naturopath and has been able to find solutions to the variety of issues we have thrown at her – from food allergies to cancer. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I know the friends I have referred to her would say the same." Michelle
