Meet Our Wellness Practitioner – Michelle Cooney

A Free Support Service for Enrolled Patients

We're excited to introduce a valuable service available to all enrolled patients here at Royal Oak Medical Centre – our Wellness Practitioner, Michelle Cooney.

Michelle is here to support individuals and families through all stages of life, offering a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Her role is all about working with you to navigate physical, spiritual, social, and mental challenges, helping you feel supported and empowered on your journey to better health.

Whether you're dealing with sleep issues, mental health concerns, addictions, long-term conditions, or simply want to talk about your general wellbeing, Michelle is here to listen and help. With a strong background in maternal mental health, working with couples, and supporting young people facing behavioural challenges, she brings a warm, compassionate, and experienced approach to her work.

"I see people of all ages and at all stages of their lives," says Michelle. "My goal is to provide support, encouragement, and practical steps for improving overall wellness."

Outside of the clinic, Michelle enjoys exploring New Zealand in her motorhome with her partner, ballroom dancing, and spending quality time with friends and family.

This service is fully funded and free for all enrolled patients. If you'd like to book a session with Michelle or learn more, feel free to contact our reception team.

Let's work together to build a healthier, more supported community – one conversation at a time.
