As one of thousands of conscious, health professionals around the world, I have felt compelled to voice my concern about the erosion of our human rights and fundamental freedoms evident in the wake of government health mandates particularly in the last twelve months. For many years now, I have wished for a forum where my voice might be heard at a governmental level to envision a more robust holistic health system.
Just last week, the call came from one of our Freedom Champions, the NZ Doctors Speaking Out with Science Group, inviting us to share our thoughts on what we would like to see in a new, health system. Not from a governmental initiative [lol] still, I was thrilled by the opportunity to forward my thoughts concerning creating a New Health Paradigm and welcome contact from anyone who is interested in doing something different to the status quo!
This morning I woke at 3.30am, inspired to jump out of bed and put pen to paper… so I humbly share here, the early morning thoughts I submitted to NZDSOS and look forward to the time, very soon I hope, where what I envision might come to pass.
I am a health professional with 35 years’ experience in the industry that spans the realms of Nursing, Counselling, Mental Health and numerous Holistic Health modalities including Rongoa Maori, Intuitive Bodywork, Colour, Sound and Spiritual Healing.
I have worked in hospitals, non-profit community services and in private practice from my home base.
I let go of my professional registrations nearly two decades ago as my quest to understand and offer truly holistic healing and wellbeing services transcended the limited scope of the organisations I was registered with.
My skill, expertise and ability to be of service to humanity has only grown exponentially, through decades of personal and professional development, training and dedicated practice and teaching of my healing crafts.
That being said, due to the current structure of the health system I have become less valued within the mainstream industry for my expertise. Without registration I have become virtually unemployable or able to secure contracts or access funding to enable me to sustain a living income. Over the last year even the ability to work privately from home has been taken from me by the introduction of the government’s health workers mandate regime.
Prior to the current conditions and for those able to find me, I have been able to help facilitate remarkable health outcomes for many who have not been helped by the current medical model. This has included clients with complex and chronic illness, severe trauma histories and even infertility to name just a few.
I have also, on many occasions, had to act as an advocate for loved ones navigating our broken system as clients, to ensure they get some measure of the treatment and care they deserve but have not received. Most recently, I have had first-hand experience of the shortfalls of the system as I navigate a recovery pathway for an injury that ACC has declined. I sustained this injury while caring for a relative at home because they had fallen through the cracks of an overloaded system.
The current disease-centred, reductionist, medical paradigm causes more harm than good. In many cases, it creates further illness and prolongs suffering. Intrusive surgeries and pharmaceutical poisons can be avoided in many instances if our society would embrace a truly integrative, holistic model of healthcare.
In a new health system, I would like to see the following:
-
SELF SOVEREIGNTY as paramount
-
Empowerment of the client as their own expert healer encouraged
-
Care that arises from the premise that physical illness is also a manifestation of dis-ease of the mental, emotional and spiritual bodies – thus investigation, diagnosis and treatment come from evaluating ALL ASPECTS OF HOLISTIC HEALTH WITH EQUAL IMPORTANCE as a matter of routine.
-
Doctors are not the brokers of care / gatekeepers to access all other health services. They are treated as experts in their chosen field of medicine, as equal to and alongside all other allied health specialists.
-
Health funding is allocated per capita and held in trust with designated, suitably qualified, responsible healthcare brokers that support clients to engage all the services they need through their lifespan of their own choosing.
-
A plethora of natural and holistic modalities including intuitive, cutting edge and new approaches are recognised as valid and given the opportunity for equitable research funding that enables robust evaluation of efficacy.
-
Natural medicine prescriptions are the norm and synthetic pharmaceuticals last resort
-
Invasive surgery and procedures as a back line treatment where appropriate, after other holistic approaches have been tried first
-
Collaboration of multi-disciplinary teams and cross-referring is encouraged
-
The current professional registration system is overhauled to enable holistic health practitioners to acquire one registration that covers multiple modalities and a universal code of ethics.
-
Health Education, Illness Prevention and Early Intervention, wrap-around services are prioritised. A holistic, fundamental message that reaches people at the level of their family unit, in workplaces and educational environments is repetitive and ongoing.
-
Conscious Parenting education is mandatory and delivered prior to conception where possible.
-
Lifespan Developmental Transitions are targeted for resourcing of appropriate, holistic services to support individuals through these transitions.
-
Government-Level Health Policy and Regulation is enforced that supports Sustainable Healthy Living Initiatives and penalises Big Business and Media Advertising that contributes to ill health in any way.

It is time to envision a ‘New Earth’ way forward across all aspects of society and we need to connect and build a strong community of Light Workers to make it happen!
