Welcome to the Paua Clinic
The Paua Clinic is the teaching clinic of South Pacific College of Natural Medicine, where our final-year Student Naturopaths and Student Nutritionists provide personalised, evidence-informed healthcare under the guidance of experienced clinical supervisors.
For many years, the Paua Clinic has supported the Auckland community by offering affordable natural healthcare in a welcoming and professional environment. Every consultation contributes to the education of future natural health practitioners while giving clients access to thorough, individualised care.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At the Paua Clinic, we believe that health is influenced by the connection between lifestyle, nutrition, emotions and the environment. Our approach considers the whole person, recognising that these factors can play an important role in supporting health and wellbeing.
A core principle of naturopathy and herbal medicine is vis medicatrix naturae — the healing power of nature.
Natural medicine focuses on understanding each individual and exploring the underlying factors that may contribute to ill health. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, our practitioners look deeper to support the body’s natural healing processes through gentle, holistic and evidence-informed approaches.
By considering the whole person, our practitioners aim to strengthen health, support the body’s systems and provide care that minimises unnecessary harm or unwanted side effects.
PERSONALISED CARE FOR YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY
At the Paua Clinic, you’re more than just a set of symptoms. Our student practitioners take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle and goals, allowing them to develop a personalised health plan tailored to your individual needs.
As part of their clinical training, our Student Naturopaths and Student Nutritionists complete comprehensive health assessments and develop individualised health plans. Every recommendation is reviewed and approved by an experienced clinical supervisor before being presented to you.
Whether you are seeking support for a specific health concern, looking to improve your nutrition, or wanting to take a proactive approach to your wellbeing, the Paua Clinic team is here to support your health journey.

NATUROPATHY
Naturopathy takes a holistic approach to health by considering the whole person — including physical health, lifestyle, nutrition, emotional wellbeing and environmental influences. Student Naturopaths assess the underlying factors that may contribute to health concerns and may incorporate approaches such as nutritional support, lifestyle recommendations and herbal medicine where appropriate.
The naturopathic approach focuses on supporting the body’s natural healing processes and creating sustainable health improvements through individualised care.
NUTRITION
Nutrition focuses on the relationship between food, nutrients and health. Student Nutritionists assess dietary patterns, nutritional intake, lifestyle factors and individual health goals to provide practical, evidence-informed nutrition guidance.
Nutrition support may assist with improving dietary habits, optimising nutrient intake, supporting healthy lifestyle changes and developing sustainable approaches to eating that fit your individual needs and circumstances.
