Meet Our Manager Karen
Meet Karen Carswell, our wonderful Health Shop Manager!
Karen has been in the natural health industry for most of her working life and has years of experience as a natural health practitioner. She has been with us at Gate Pa Health for almost 5 years. We are so grateful to have Karen as part of our team.
As well as working in many health shops within Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, Karen has been running her own health clinic for over 18 years and is also a qualified Biofeedback Specialist, Registered Clinical Nutritionist and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Practitioner.
Karen believes that good health begins with the digestive system and what we put into our bodies. She specialises in all things 'gut' and also has years of experience with food intolerances, coeliac disease, hormonal health and functional testing. With years of experience practicing Biofeedback and energy medicine, Karen has a good knowledge of how the body and it's pathways work at the cellular level and how microbes and nutrient status effect our health (Nutrigenetics/ Nutrigenomics).
Karen’s love of helping others to regain their health has stemmed from ill health herself since her early teens. After reluctantly finishing her chosen career as a beautician and being fobbed off by the medical world with no answers, Karen began her journey of recovery the natural way an has completed many, many years of study in the process.
Pop in and have a chat with Karen, her years of knowledge and experience will have you feeling your best in no time!
