Dr Tracy Chandler completed a Biochemistry degree and then her primary medical training in England. This gave her a more in-depth knowledge of the human body than most Doctors are required to know. In particular, a knowledge of the biochemical pathways that drive all the processes of our body means she can untangle and optimise these for true health. She then worked as a General Practitioner before completing further post-graduate training in Sports and Integrative (Wellness) Medicine and Nutrition. Her decision to specialise in Integrative (Wellness) Medicine evolved through her experience as a GP and her increasing awareness of the impact of nutrition and environment on an individual’s health and well-being. In addition, she firmly believes in the power of the Mind-Body link and our ability to heal ourselves.
Her treatments are not simply a clinical act but is a process that incorporates a deep respect for the individuality of clients. Clients are in control of their Wellness Journey™ at all stages, from the initial consultation until they reach a stage of confidence in their wellness. As a fully registered GP and Fellow of the Royal NZ College of GPs she at all stages she utilises a combination of conventional and complementary medicine as appropriate to each patients’ conditions and wishes.
