The Happylocal Hub (a social enterprise), Kuaotunu, is to be an example of how exceptional individual and community wellbeing (biological, emotional, physical and spiritual) can be achieved as a social, collective, and supportive experience.

It is made up of a co-working business facility, a community event space, and a holistic health centre, which includes a media room. The business facility gives access to fibre fast internet, modern business amenities and the opportunity to network or possibly collaborate with other local businesses. The health centre aims to be a hub for a range of local practitioners offering a variety of treatments and services with a focus on preventative health, and the promotion of local groups encouraging healthy living, connection and skill-sharing.

Example practitioners cover:

Physiotherapy, Naturopathy and Nutrition,  Tomatis Therapy, Western Medicine, and Podiatry.

In the weekends, the co-working space can be booked by local community representatives or health-focused groups for meetups or to host workshops ( case by case basis).

Leanne Halliwell

Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Body Therapy, Naturopathy

LIVE : IT : UP

I feel privileged to be invited on a person’s journey, to witness the changes, the joy in their bodies, mind, environment, family – as they discover and learn from my skills. I do not consider myself a healer, I guide people to the tools that will allow balance, then wellness within. Clients do all the work to heal, making the changes, taking responsibility.

I enjoy aiding my clients to meet goals and be their chosen best.

• Plant medicine is astonishing!
• Nutritional medicine is an essential base.
• Body therapy shifts people.
• Bach flowers allow people to see clearly.
• Counsel aids awareness to develop.

I am looking forward to returning to Kuaotunu and to be able to provide the community with Podiatry
services. The services include nail cutting, corns and calluses, and other conditions such as plantar
fasciitis.

A little bit about me, I first moved to Kuaotunu in1993 and owned the Kuaotunu Store for 17 years. Then went on to work as a teacher aid at the Mercury Bay Area school and after that was a Healthcare assistant at Whitianga, then went to university and studied Podiatry.
