About us
We offer a holistic approach to healthcare known as Functional Medicine, which addresses the physical, emotional, and environmental influences that shape your wellbeing.
Functional medicine accounts for the many convening factors that affect one’s state of health: physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental.
Our story
Our clinic was founded in 2020 by Dr Carmen Barnes, a physician with more than ten years of experience in both general practice and functional medicine.
Dr Barnes trained as a General Practitioner in the United States and completed a Fellowship in Functional and Integrative Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).
She is certified to practise medicine in New Zealand through the Medical Council’s general practice pathway.
Her interest in functional medicine developed after seeing how many chronic health conditions, particularly in women, stemmed from hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory imbalances.
Today, she specialises in women’s hormonal health, menopause, perimenopause, gut dysfunction, and metabolic resilience.
Our Philosophy
Health is not simply the absence of disease. It is the presence of vitality, clarity, and strength.
We believe that with the right support and understanding, the body has a remarkable ability to heal and thrive.
By testing, listening, and connecting the dots, we help your body restore balance naturally and sustainably.
