Deborah Wright
I'm an NMHNZ Registered Naturopath & Massage Therapist. I run my clinic from Petone, in a large old villa (pretty classic NZ home from the early 1900's) and I have a thriving, if slightly out of control, cottage garden. I became a Naturopath after realising the corporate world was not for me. I burnt out (more than once) and realised I would do better if I could share my passion & enthusiasm for natural health with other stressed and burnt out humans.
In 2002 my journey began, in 2008 I went full-time with nourishe, and I'm feeling pleased that I'm able to continue doing what I love. I also do a LOT of cycling (look out for the green helmet), a bit of running, some occasional renovations to this old villa, some gardening, and from time to time I catch up with my husband to chill out & watch movies. We have a tabby called Henri (Henrietta Ford Wright), & a recent addition called Annie (a wee pocket rocket Mini Foxy/Jack Russell).

what is nourishenz?
nourishenz is a family focused health clinic. I work with people of all ages (from pre-conception onward), with a focus on Mental Health, Stress, Burnout & Fatigue. I want you to be in the best health you can be. Usually you'll come to see me because something's not right for you. I can help you find out what's going on and help you find some solutions. There's no one-way of doing anything so all my recommendations are personalised - tailored to YOU. Sadly I don't have the "magic bullet". Improving your health is a journey. One with many forks in the road, a few slips & slides, and some u-turns. You may come and see me once or twice and that's enough. Or you may need ongoing coaching and support. No two journeys are the same. |
I’ve been running my clinic now for over 10 years, working with clients of all ages from newborns to great grandparents! I spent 25+ years working in hospitality and tourism, interspersed with some merchant banking, retail and temping. I loved the Hospo industry but got really burnt out after so many years. What I missed the most was the interaction with customers – the general banter and fun that you get from working in a busy environment.
I figured my width and depth of work experience, my own personal health challenges, and my desire to help people could be better utilised in a health & healing capacity. In 2002 I decided to train as a Naturopath and in 2005 I graduated. Workplace Stress has always been something I feel strongly about and many of my clients come to me highly stressed and/or at burnout stage. What I’ve discovered is that small business owners and the self-employed run at a high level of stress most of the time and are generally not prioritising their own health.
I want to share my experiences, equip you with some tools and knowledge around a daily self-health-assessment, and help you to be in the best health you can be.
