Jacquelyn runs a specialized EDS/HSD Well-being Clinic, offering dedicated support for individuals with hypermobility spectrum conditions. Jaquelyn's journey into EDS began after completing her osteopathic training in 2007 in the UK. She encountered many patients with injuries resulting from over-stretching, particularly from yoga, and began to research on their behalf. This developed into a collaboration with HMSA in the UK for which she wrote on osteopathy and hyper mobility. Her Masters in Science proposal is on Clinical Pilates (which she has taught since 1998) and hyper mobility after realising that manual therapy alone wasn’t sufficient for best care management of these patients. After moving to New Zealand in 2013, she started networking to create a team of EDS aware practitioners and now runs a support group in the north of the country and is currently working with EDSNZ to develop an education framework for GPs. She has a Bachelor of Behavioural Science (La Trobe University, Melbourne), Bachelor of Osteopathy (British School of Osteopathy, London) and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Research and Methodology (University of Bedfordshire, UK). Her current studies include post-graduate training in Biodynamic Osteopathy and she is studying for her IBCLC lactation consultant qualification. She is also a qualified Pilates and yoga teacher and uses her experience as an endurance athlete to inform work with her patients. Her time is spent running an osteopathic clinic in the north of New Zealand, spending much of her clinical time treating paediatrics and pregnancy.

Kimberley Gabbard is a passionate wellness advocate, certified aromatherapist clinician, natural food chef, and the visionary founder behind Prana+Therapy and The Mode of Wellness Clinic. Her life’s work is devoted to helping others restore vitality, balance, and longevity through natural personalised care. Her journey into holistic health began in the mid-1980s in Los Angeles, where she founded Heavenly Taste Catering—a plant-based catering company serving high-profile clients in the entertainment, health, and wellness industries. In addition to catering, she taught plant-based cooking workshops focused on food as medicine, inspiring others to live in alignment with seasonal nourishment and conscious lifestyle practices. In the early 1990s, Kimberley moved to Hawaii, where she served as head chef for a leading health food chain, overseeing recipe development and menu innovation to make vibrant, plant-based eating more accessible. Her passion for natural remedies led her to earn certification in aromatherapy, where she developed the skills to create targeted, high-potency essential oil formulations. This paved the way for Prana+Therapy, a line of organic, multi-use wellness products designed to support the body, skin, mind, and environment. Prana+Therapy is handcrafted in small batches for product purity and integrity. Prana+Therapy products deliver therapeutic benefits, including detoxification, emotional balance, immune support, and anti-aging properties.

Independent Vidafy Global Representative and Distributor for Northland. Health Supplements for People and Pets After hairdressing for 35 years had left my body in a terrible state. I was in lots of physical pain through out my entire body from years of standing on hard floors for hours on end leaning over my clients while doing their hair. The inflammation from years of exposure to multiple chemicals combined with physical wear and tear left me with chronic neck, wrists, hands and multiple joint pain eventually leading to the winding down of my business.. A friend introduced me to the Vidafy Curcumin supplement which has turned my life around. Vidafy Curcumin is a health supplement which is safe and suitable for Animals as well as for people. For the first time in years I have had relief for the significant pain which I have endured 24/7 for the last 10 years of my career. I am excited to have found a solution not only for my pain but also for my pets and I want to share this experience and help others to achieve better health through this wonderful product.

Lorna Byrne
OroMyofunctional Therapist
I’m Lorna of NorthlandOfM. Orofacial Myology rehabilitates normal muscle function of the lips, tongue, face, and neck. This is crucial for speaking, chewing, and swallowing correctly, as well as for maintaining proper tooth and jaw alignment. As a certified OroMyofunctional Therapist, I work with clients of all ages who are open-mouth breathers, have speech issues because of poor muscle function, have problems with their jaws, sleep disorders, swallowing difficulties, have habitually sucked their thumbs, digits etc, have a tongue that lies on the floor of the mouth, not the roof, and many more. Therapy is non-invasive and works at the individual's capabilities over time. It is about helping you restore your body to its natural state, as intended by Mother Nature. My thirty-year background as a registered dental hygienist means I have a deep understanding of mouths. I’m available at Whangarei Well-being Clinic throughout the week. www.northlandofm.co.nz
