Wānaka NATUROPATH · Online across New Zealand
Real answers for women with endometriosis and PCOS. Not management. Not guesswork.
I'm Tegan - naturopath and medical herbalist at Naturalist. I work with women across New Zealand who are exhausted by flare cycles, surface-level care, and having to fight to be heard. My approach starts with testing, not assumptions and every plan is built from your results.

What I specialise in as Women's Health Naturopath
Complex hormonal and gut health conditions where symptoms are real, investigations have been incomplete, and standard care hasn't provided lasting answers.

Endometriosis
Pain, bloating, fatigue, flare cycles, and gut symptoms that track with your cycle. We investigate the inflammation, hormone metabolism, gut dysfunction, and immune dysregulation driving your specific pattern - then build a plan from that picture.
PCOS / PMOS
Irregular cycles, androgen symptoms, insulin resistance, and metabolic imbalance. We identify your specific PCOS type through testing because the drivers are different for every woman and the treatment needs to reflect that.
Hormone Imbalance
Heavy periods, PMS, mood changes, breast tenderness, and cycle irregularity are signals - not inevitabilities. We investigate the hormonal, gut, and stress physiology driving the pattern before recommending anything.
Gut Health
Bloating, bowel changes, food sensitivities, and gut pain are rarely just gut problems in women with hormonal conditions. We address the gut-hormone axis together because in most cases that's where the real answers are.
The Thrive Program. Four months.
Full testing. A plan built entirely from your results.
Most women who come to Thrive have already tried a lot. What's been missing isn't effort - it's a clear picture of what's actually driving the symptoms. That's what we build first. Testing before treating. Every time.

What shifts when the right systems are addressed.
These are the shifts most clients experience when we stop managing symptoms and start addressing what's actually driving them. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But measurably, progressively, and in a direction that holds.
More regular, predictable cycles
Understand your hormonal rhythms and support ovulation so your cycle becomes more stable and less stressful.
Improved digestion and less bloating
Rebuild gut health so you can eat with comfort, reduce inflammation, and absorb nutrients better.
More balanced moods
Support your nervous system, hormones, and blood sugar to reduce mood swings and emotional crashes.
Clearer skin
Address the root causes of hormonal acne through nutrition, herbs, and gut support, not just topical fixes.
Reduced period pain and PMS
Calm inflammation and support hormone metabolism to ease cramping, clotting, and premenstrual symptoms.

Meet Tegan, your Naturopath in Wanaka

I'm a degree-qualified Naturopath and Medical Herbalist based in Wānaka, with a clinical focus in endometriosis, PCOS, and complex hormonal health.
My approach is testing-led and evidence-based - I investigate the underlying drivers of your symptoms rather than managing what's on the surface. I work alongside your GP, specialists, and fertility team, not instead of them, because integrated care produces better outcomes than any single approach alone.
I also bring lived experience to this work. I've navigated endometriosis, PCOS, and the frustration of being told results are "normal" while your body says otherwise. That experience shapes how I show up for every client, with clinical precision and genuine understanding of what it actually feels like to be unheard by a system that should be helping you.
Understand your body. The education starts here.
The Naturalist resource hub is built for women who want the actual biology not wellness trends, not influencer advice, not generic tips. Real clinical education on hormones, gut health, endometriosis, and PCOS.
Blogs
In-depth articles on the mechanisms behind your symptoms - the estrobolome, gut-hormone axis, PCOS subtypes, insulin resistance, and more. Written for women who want to understand the why, not just the what.
Resources
Free downloadable guides to help you understand your results, ask better questions at your GP appointments, and take informed steps toward better hormonal health.
Real women. Real results. These are their words.
"I had my first genuinely low-pain period in a long time - I actually didn't know what to do with myself. I'd spent years just bracing for it. What surprised me most wasn't just the physical change, it was finally understanding why it was happening and feeling like someone actually had a handle on my full picture. I'm not just managing anymore."
Thrive with Endometriosis Program Client
"My ovarian pain during ovulation went from a 7 to a 2 within the first few weeks. The gut symptoms I'd had for years started shifting with some basic dietary changes - which honestly shocked me because I'd tried so many diets before. The difference was that this time I understood why I was making the changes. That changes everything about whether you actually stick to them."
Thrive with Endometriosis Program Client
"I came in having already tried everything. I was honestly sceptical. What got me was that Tegan didn't start with a protocol - she started with testing, and she actually explained the results in a way that made my symptoms make sense for the first time. The weekly check-ins and support between sessions meant I was never left to figure things out alone. Two months in, my period arrived and I had zero pre-period pain. I almost didn't believe it."
