Kia ora Koutou ~ Greetings Everybody

I am a Clinical Medical Herbalist based in the top of the South Island of NZ. I have been in practice for about 20 years with a general focus on women's reproductive health. I was led to this having started Moontime, a menstrual cloth initiative, way back last century, when women started sharing their personal moon stories with me.

Mum and grandmother, and former film-maker, I have always been fascinated by and engaged with human responses to health and environmental challenges. I want to help implement cutting edge models to achieve an accelerated shift to optimum resilience. I currently manage a remote rural property dedicated to the Tiwaiwaka Principles.

The Tīwaiwaka kaupapa/philosophy perfectly aligns with and combines my areas of experience. It has become fundamental to my work, offering new models of healthcare. I believe we need a coherent philosophical narrative to unify our response to the potent challenges of our time and Tīwaiwaka offers us this simple yet profound guidance.

I love residing deep in the wilderness, adjacent to a national park, and host retreats and gatherings to help connect people back to whenua/the land. I also weave Yoga into my work and personal practice.

So happy to be part of this forum. Thanks Lara!

Warmly

Ange Palmer
