Laura B

My name is Laura and I am the Health Improvement Practitioner (‘HIP’) at Kaiapoi Family Doctors.

If mental or physical health challenges are beginning to impact on your wellbeing, your GP or nurse may suggest a check in with the HIP. During our appointments, we’ll talk through what has been happening and come up with a plan together to support you in getting back to where you want to be. Low mood, stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, school or work – there are no wrong referrals and patients are welcome to self-refer. A lot of people get what they need from one session, but you are always welcome to rebook.
