Maria Rowell is a passionate integrative practitioner dedicated to holistic healing. Traditionally trained in 2011, she graduated with a four-year degree in Acupuncture and a three-year diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine from the New Zealand School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

With recent advanced training in **Rongoā Māori Medicine**, Maria now beautifully blends two rich traditional healing systems — Traditional Chinese Medicine and Rongoā Māori — into her clinical practice. This unique integration honours the wisdom of both Eastern and Indigenous Māori healing traditions while working respectfully alongside Western medicine.

Maria strongly supports the integration of Traditional Chinese medicine, Rongoa, and Western approaches. Her extensive training in Herbal medicine, pathophysiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and the interpretation of laboratory data allows her to provide truly comprehensive, coordinated care. She works collaboratively with your medical doctors and specialists to support faster healing and optimal well-being.

She believes the best approach to health is a thoughtful marriage between time-honoured holistic medicines and the modern needs of today’s patients. With rising concerns such as autoimmune disorders, infertility, allergies, and cancer, Maria offers a personalised path that addresses the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.

In her practice, Maria takes the time needed to fully understand your health history, symptoms, and unique circumstances. She provides thorough consultations, answers your questions with care, and offers practical guidance on diet and lifestyle choices to help you achieve lasting results.
