I am a qualified Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, running my practice in Ponsonby and working as Naturopath for Clinicians, a health supplements company. I have also recently taken up the position of Vice President of the NZ Naturopathic Society.
Since the naturopathic approach looks at body systems being out of balance, I can work with most conditions. I have particular experience working with people suffering from allergies, digestive disorders such as IBS and Crohns disease, stress and sleep issues, women's hormonal issues and blood sugar imbalances.
I would love to help bring you back feeling happy, vital and healthy, so give me a call or drop me an email. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Consultations
Initial Consult
At this first meeting we will sit down together and look your goals and the challenges you are experiencing with your health. We will then look at how all your body systems are performing in order to determine what may be driving your health issues. By looking at all areas we can determine the root cause and work on this rather than looking at superficial symptoms. Some free tests may also be performed such as a zinc taste test to look at zinc levels or a urinary indicans test, which identifies bad bacteria in the digestive system. I may also include iris, tongue and nail analysis. By taking our time and looking at the big picture we can then create an action plan for short and long term goals to improve your health and well-being. These are summarized in a personal treatment plan, which we will progress and adapt over time.
What do you get?
- 1 hour consultation
- Tests as required such as zinc taste test, indicans urinary test which identifies bad bacteria in the digestive system, urinary pH test
- A written treatment plan specifiying goals we wish to achieve, how we aim to get there and any instructions for lifestyle or nutritional changes that will help your well being
- Suggested protocol of herbs or supplements required to action the plan
- Handouts to support the treatment plan such as food exclusion diets (e.g. gluten free diet) or to support special requirements, recipes to support specific diets, instructions for tests etc.

This is where we follow up usually between 1 – 3 weeks after the initial appointment and see how you are progressing. We review progress against the treatment plan and make adjustments accordingly. The number of follow ups depends on your progress.

About Jane
I actually started my career in the corporate world and I have a degree in Communication Studies and I am a PMI Certified Project Manager. I have worked around the world in large and small corporations as a business analyst and project manager. I then decided to follow my passion in natural health by becoming a naturopath and medical herbalist. Although people find it a strange contrast I find my analysis and people skills from my previous life invaluable. It also gives me empathy when dealing with professional people who need support and we can look at “realistic solutions”. I find naturopathy a rewarding profession, as it is amazing to work with someone and see them become happier and healthier. Sometimes it is just the simplest change that makes the biggest difference. I believe a big part of what I do is education and feel people should have the knowledge to make a change to their lives. I like to work “with” people, to give them options to make choices themselves and I always explain why I think suggested products will help you.

Allergies and intolerances
Would you like to know what is driving your allergies? I use specialised tests that measure your blood antibodies to certain foods. Most medical tests look at immediate allergies, but most the ones that you find hard to pin point are the delayed allergies. This means you can have some reactions up to 2 hours or days later. I can help you find out what these are.
Tests are not always necessary as through experience I can often see through signs and symptoms of what the offending food group may be.
You may need help with allergies if you are suffering from skin conditions (eg eczema, psoriasis), digestive disturbances, sinus problems, hay fever and headaches.
Digestive Disorders
I can work with you on more serious conditions such as Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis and IBS (please see testimonials). However if you are experiencing chromic constipation, loose bowel movement, gas, bloating, indigestion or acid reflux then we can work on these too.
Stress Management / improving sleep
I have a great appreciation for stress management due to my previous corporate background. I can help you work with managing your stress levels on a physical and mental level. Stress very often manifests in sleep difficulties either not getting to sleep or waking up in the early hours pondering things. You may also be suffering from anxiety or just be plain exhausted. If this sounds like you then I know you are too busy, but make time to come and see me your health is important.
Fatigue
Do you just feel exhausted all the time? Do you not have the energy you used to have? It may not be that you are “just getting old”, but may be caused by something else. Many endocrine disorders can cause fatigue and some vitamin deficiencies. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more energy? Come along and find out how.
Weight loss
I work with a professional weight loss program called “Shake it” from Metagenics NZ. This will improve your way of eating and will help you loose weight fast. Unlike other weight loss programs I also look to see if there are other conditions that could be stopping you loose weight such as allergies, blood sugar issues and possible thyroid problems. I have tried the program myself and lost 5 kg in 5 weeks. So come and get ready for summer!
Testimonials
Digestive Disorders – Crohn’s
My name is Simon (pseudonym) and I'm a busy executive working for a large corporate in New Zealand.
I was looking to improve my general well being by losing weight and hopefully finding a way to improve my health as I have a chronic illness. Having had Crohn's disease for over 20 years, I was looking for a way through diet and naturopathy to keep the disease in check.
I found that, through my consultations with Jane Henley, a dramatic improvement after only a few months. Through diet and naturopathic remedies, my disease has been in remission for over a year. My specialist could not believe after my last medical that there was no sign of Crohn's disease. He had to even double check with one of his colleagues as the probability was less that 1% to be in remission for anyone having the disease for over 20 years.
I can unconditionally recommend Jane to anyone looking to improve there general health and especially for someone like me with a chronic disease that wishes to improve their situation.
Coughs and Colds
I went to visit Jane last winter when my 15 month old had a persistent cough that had last 2 months. Nothing was working and I couldn't give him cough medicine and was at my whits end. Jane prescribed an excellent mixture that worked well within a couple of days. This winter has been totally different, I have used the cough mixture when I see a cold coming along and it works a treat. My boy has been well pretty much most of this winter and I call Jane's prescription - Miracle Juice.

Low energy and stress
My name is Sandra and I recently returned to NZ after a 4 year OE. I was feeling very tired and lethargic and was finding it difficult to settle back into the NZ way of life. I went to see Jane in the hope that she could help me find my feet again and regain my energy levels. We had a very long chat, which in itself was very healing and she recommended a number of changes to my diet, supplementary vitamins and a herbal tonic. I found these extremely helpful and very quickly found my motivation levels increase and was out enjoying the outdoor lifestyle that I had so been missing overseas.
General Health
My name is Robin (psuedonym). After spending years and years battling all sorts of health problems and being constantly let down by the public health system, I found Jane. With Jane's guidance I have made leaps and bounds towards full health, overcoming a number of my health issues that I had all but given up on trying to resolve. The most outstanding thing about Jane is how much she cares, I couldn't count the number of times Jane has gone out of her way and past the call of duty to help me. I know that Jane will continue to be a big part of my ongoing pursuit of health. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I work from my home clinic in the heart of Ponsonby. It is very close to town and 2 minutes off the motorway. As you can see from the pictures it provides a cosy and informal environment for you to come and work with me to improve your health.
