Infusing optimal health in the comfort of your own home
Louise, a Registered Nurse, kick-started her nursing career in 2014 in Melbourne, before embarking on a transformative journey, redirecting her nursing path towards more holistic approaches. Since 2019, Louise has worked in Integrative Medicine, collaborating with Dr. Tim Ewer in Mapua, before establishing her mobile IV nutrient infusion service, available Auckland wide.
Known as ‘The Nutrient Nurse,’ Louise addresses a pertinent question: “How healthy do you feel right now?” In today's rapid- paced world, where individuals grapple with daily life demands, prioritising wholesome nutrition often takes a back seat. The scarcity of nutrient-rich fresh produce and compromised gut absorption leaves many individuals lacking essential raw materials for optimal bodily function. Louise emphasises the significance of absorption over consumption, highlighting that one is not merely defined by what they eat, but by what they absorb.
Having witnessed a disconcerting pattern in hospitals where patients were overwhelmed with an array of pills at every meal, followed by a meal that consisted of jelly and white bread, Louise recognised the shortcomings of traditional approaches in achieving lasting health outcomes. “It was clear that symptoms were suppressed with meds but the underlying root cause of their disease continued to wreak havoc in the background,” says Louise. This realisation fuelled her determination to advocate for better health outcomes through a holistic approach.
Louise's journey into Integrative Medicine commenced during her studies in Biomedical Science at Monash University, Victoria. The deep-seated understanding of the critical role nutrients play in cellular function and overall health guided her to shift her nursing focus toward holistic treatments. She strives to empower others to comprehend their bodies' innate healing capacities, urging them to fuel their bodies with the necessary raw materials for optimal function.
Drawing on the principles of epigenetics, Louise emphasises the body's remarkable ability to heal when provided with a conducive environment. Prioritising health by providing the body with the essential raw materials it needs to function and minimising exposure to toxins and harmful foods, allows the body to thrive and do what it does best - heal. IV nutrient infusions offer a rapid means to boost nutrient levels, circumventing the digestive system and going directly into the bloodstream for optimal absorption.
‘The Nutrient Nurse’ ensures that health remains accessible, bringing the clinic to the individual's doorstep. The infusion process typically lasts 30-60 minutes, occasionally extending to 2 hours for specific cases. Louise skilfully inserts a line into the vein to facilitate the gentle infusion of nutrients. During the appointment, individuals can engage in various activities, such as working, sleeping, or discussing their lifestyle and dietary habits in depth with Louise.
Her ultimate goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge that they possess the capacity to lead optimally healthy lives by aligning with their bodies. Louise possesses full certification to administer injectable nutrients and boasts exceptional proficiency in IV insertion.
