WE ARE HERE TO INSPIRE YOU
About Us
HI ! I'M NOREEN MACDONALD, THE CREATOR OF NATURAL LIVING.
I'M DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT ASSISTING YOU TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN BE...
Natural Living started out as a yoga studio here at Founders Park. It has now been transformed into one of Nelson's premier health and wellness studio's.
Private, loads of free parking and a beautiful healing space with qualified, experienced therapists.
Please take the time to scroll what's on offer at our studio below.
I truly believe that with the right guidance you can achieve anything - incredible health and vitality, create a life you truly love to live, learn how to let go of the things from the past that may be keeping you 'stuck', create deeply fulfilling relationships and more.
The key is just taking that first step.
If you don't know where to start or who to see or what therapy could benefit you, feel free to give me a call and we can work that out together.
I invite you to choose to change x
Our Team
NOREEN MACDONALD
LIFE & WELLNESS COACH
HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER
I think we are all here to grow into better versions of ourselves, to wake up to our potential, to realise that we are the incredible beings that we are.
To live a life you love, you create it.
I love fun, solitude, nature, my family, my pooch, the beach, yoga, meditation, delicious food, fun tunes and helping people.
I'm a mum, a healer, a life coach and am qualified in various holistic therapies - Naturopathy, Bioresonance Therapy, Neuro-emotional technique (NET), Access Bars and currently studying a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Medical Hypnotherapy.
I've spent the last 25 years studying and working within the natural medicine field. The human being fascinates me,. We are so complex and such individuals. I've certainly learnt that we all require 'individualised' treatment, and that's exactly what I do.
I offer you treatment where you require it whether it be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
I have a lot of tools in my toolbox and am able to use the combination that gives you the results you are wanting.
ARRON MACDONALD
NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMING PRACTITIONER
Hi there. I think that perspective has a lot to do with how we enjoy our lives and I have learnt there is certainly ways we can have control over our own perspective.
I have found through my other career in Commercial Catering, managing large amounts of people that I really enjoy helping people grow and learn.
This had led me to training in NLP, so that I can continue this journey in helping with the mental side of people's existence.

DAISY
DOPPENBERG
CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST
I am Daisy Doppenberg, a certified nutritionist, ex nurse and ambulance officer specialising in Clinical Nutrition & Functional Testing.
After having worked and studied in mainstream health and ambulance care, I decided that there must be a better way to help people without popping them full of pharmaceuticals.
Getting to the root cause of your symptoms is my passion. Functional and clinical testing gives you answers to what's happening deep within the body. This makes it much easier to approach your symptoms/dis-ease with a targeted approach.
Some of our most commonly tested areas are:
-
Allergy testing (food, environmental e.g)
-
Hormone testing (blood, saliva, urine)
-
Heavy metal & toxin testing
-
DNA testing
-
Nutrient assessment (vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids e.g)
-
GUT microbiome testing
