Women's Health Naturopath in Wānaka | Endometriosis & PMOS
Women’s health care that goes beyond symptom management
I’m Tegan - a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist at Naturalist. I work with women across New Zealand and locally in Wanaka. As a functional testing and evidence-based practitioner, my approach to women’s health is rooted in finding the driver of your condition rather than masking symptoms or offering one-size-fits-all solutions. I use your own functional data from testing to assess optimal health and correct deep, underlying drivers that often get missed.

What I specialise in as a 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.
BNatMed (Distinction) · NMHNZ Registered · Functional Testing Specialist · SPCNM Clinical Excellence Award · Southern Cross Insurance Recognised.
Based in Wanaka & online across New Zealand.
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.
Irregular cycles, androgen symptoms, insulin resistance, and metabolic imbalance. We identify your specific PMOS 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.
Women's Health Naturopath Support
Three pathways depending on the support you need.
However you start, you're getting the same standard of care. Every pathway is grounded in naturopathic medicine, shaped by evidence-based practice, and dedicated entirely to women's health. Whether you need clarity, structure, or full transformation, the depth of care doesn't change, only the level of support you need right now.

Changes you notice when working with a Women's Health Naturopath
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.

I'm a degree-qualified Naturopath and Medical Herbalist based in Wānaka, with a clinical focus in endometriosis, PMOS, 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, PMOS, 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 experience the isolating and negative effects of managing complex hormonal conditions alone.

Beautiful words from Naturalist women.
Tegan is an absolute pleasure to work with. She truly listens and meets you where you are, with a level of empathy that comes from her own lived experience. What I appreciate most is her thoughtful, unrushed approach, she never pushes unnecessary treatments or tests, and instead takes the time to understand exactly what you and your body need.
She is methodical, supportive, and always available when you need guidance or questions answered. Since working with Tegan, my energy levels have improved significantly, and I feel far more in tune with my body. I am still on this journey of self-healing but so far I feel empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes to my health.
