Consultation Information

All consultations are offered online (NZ-wide, international clients accepted case-by-case).

Online consultations offer all the same benefits as in-person sessions, with the added benefit of you not having to leave the house (feel free to even wear your PJs—no judgement here!)

You’ll have access to your own secure client portal where our online sessions will be held, your health plans and session notes will be uploaded, you can private message me, access your food & symptom journals, and more! I’ll also set you up to order any supplements or herbal medicines that I prescribe, which will be conveniently posted out to your address.

It’s easy to sign up and navigate your portal, however, I’m also happy to work via Zoom and send your notes via email if this is easiest for you.

Update

To ensure that I have enough time to support those already in my care, I am currently not taking on new clients.

You are welcome to complete this form if you would like to join my waitlist, however if you are wanting to be seen in the next few months, it may be best to reach out to another practitioner.

Consultation Options

The attention, care and personalised design that Alena put into my healing plan was incredible - I didn’t realise this experience of achieving optimal health through such clear, effective and educational support was out there.

Funding Options

Our current healthcare system in NZ subsidises GPs and prescribed medications heavily, making them seem more affordable than natural health. Alena Winter Natural Health is a private health clinic and receives no funding or subsidies.

Although the initial investment is more than a GP visit, it’s well worth it!

I’ve heard from many clients that they wish they came to see me sooner, saving them time and money in the long run.

A core value of mine is to improve the awareness and accessibility of natural medicine, so depending on your circumstances, the following options may be helpful:

Insurance Cover

I am registered with both NZAMH (New Zealand Association of Medical Herbalists) and NMHNZ (Naturopaths & Medical Herbalists of New Zealand), therefore certain health insurance policies offer coverage for consultations with me. I recommend you contact your insurance company for more information. 

Payment Plans

Following your initial consultation, for ongoing continuity of care, payment plans are also available and can be tailored to your situation.

Alena Winter Natural Health Equity Programme

It’s important to me that all people are able to access and experience the benefits of natural healthcare.

If you are from a low-income household and the consultation fees are completely out of reach, please get in touch regarding consideration for the AWNH Equity Programme. Spaces are limited and subject to review.
