Hi, I’m ERIN EVIS.
naturopath & medical herbalist.
I'm so pleased you’ve found my site! I’m a Whanganui, New Zealand-based Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, working online, and in clinic at Whanganui Osteopathy every Thursday.
My passion is helping people like you to better understand your health and the way our bodies work, supporting you to achieve vibrant, good health for all the family.
Who I work with
families. children. asd. adhd. pans. pandas. skin health. gut health. immunity.
Whilst I will happily work with anybody who wishes to see me, I do work in a few key areas more than others. As a mother-of-three, I have a particular interest in children’s health, and love working with young ones struggling with health issues and behavioural disorders (including ASD, ADHD, tics, PANS/PANDAS), as well as their families.
women’s health. pregnancy. preconception. birth. heavy metals. environmental toxicity and health.
Pregnancy and preconception care is another passion area, and I can offer care packages to see you through a healthy pregnancy and birth. I do a lot of work with gut and skin health - as all naturopaths do - as well as heavy metal toxicity and environmental health, and love working with women on their hormones and stress levels, too.
breastfeeding support. home birth. herbal medicine.
Outside of clinic I’ve been involved in home birth networks and breastfeeding support for almost ten years, and I’m very comfortable working with lactating women and supporting their unique health needs.
qualifications
I graduated from Wellpark College in 2012 with a Bachelor in Naturopathy and Diplomas in Nutrition, Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine, and have been working with people across the country ever since. I’m a registered member of the New Zealand Association of Medical Herbalists (NZAMH), and have worked in many roles within the industry, from retail to herbal medicine education and sales, to clinic and more.
on a personal note…
Beyond my work as a naturopath, I am a busy parent; an avid gardener; a plant hoarder; a collector of antique medical books; and a prolific writer - with a background in journalism, I still work freelance as a copy writer and occasional contributor to magazines and newspapers around NZ.
My Approach
My approach is to always keep things realistic and attainable - small changes adding up to lasting results, and meeting you exactly where you’re at, working within your limitations and without judgement to support you in meeting your goals. I love to help educate my clients, so you come away with a better understanding of what makes your body tick, and better able to make educated and empowered choices
NATURAL PHILOSOPHY
I lean more towards utilising whole foods and avoiding synthetic supplementation as much as possible, though some may be recommended judiciously, for the short term, where appropriate.
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU
My aim is to empower you with knowledge and sound information, allowing you to take control of your health again and understand the drivers that underpin whatever it is you’re dealing with.
A SOLID FOUNDATION
Herbal medicine and nutrition are the backbones of my practice, and - along with lifestyle tweaks - are the basis of most of the plans I put together for my clients.
