Our Staff

Dr Tralee Sugrue brings over two decades of extensive experience in holistic healthcare, excelling as both a General Practitioner (GP) and Homeopath. Committed to providing exceptional patient care, Dr. Tralee has earned prestigious certifications, including Board Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician (IBLM) and degrees like BSc MBChB LFHom(Med) FRNZCGP RCHom. Among her repertoire of healing methods is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which she integrates into her practice to address and heal the root causes of health challenges. Deeply compassionate in her patient care, Dr Tralee is dedicated to helping individuals tackle both emotional and physical issues that hinder their well-being. Her holistic approach to healthcare recognizes the unique healing journey each individual is on, and how personalisation is necessary to assist people to be well.

With an extensive background in Medical Administration and Finance, Sacha’s experience at Taranaki Base Hospital and with offshore banking in the UK has her well positioned to champion our patients through a complicated system. The Clinic would be lost without her at the helm, ensuring our patients receive the personalised care we value at HHC. From the early days when it was Health-Help Line and now as the Holistic Health Collective, she has compassionately listened to thousands of patients and helped them receive the best care possible. Originally from the beautiful Jersey Channel Islands, she joyfully spends her spare time bustling around, leading her family from one fun activity to the next!

With 25 years of experience in nursing starting at Manawatu Polytechnic, Louise has extensive training including a Masters of Nursing 2020, Post Grad Dip Nurs 2018, and a Bachelor of Nursing 1997. Her career has taken her from Palmerston North Hospital, to Emergency Departments and high dependency units across Australia.

On returning to New Zealand, Louise’s post-graduate specialised training involved 500 hours of clinical training with specialist nurses and doctors – including the General Practice team – to enable her to work at the top clinical level and scope of practice. Her practice is supported by evidence-based guidelines, determining her clinical decisions to provide a complete episode of care, including ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests and prescribing pharmaceutical agents. 

Together with the team, Louise offers integrative health solutions that incorporate pharmaceuticals if required but not as a first choice to provide optimal health outcomes.

I have worked as a primary health physician and GP since 1976 and three years later added Anthroposophic medical insights and therapies to my practice, after forming a mentoring relationship with the experienced and insightful Dr Ken Friedlander in Hawkes Bay.

In the early 1980’s I relocated my family to the UK for three and a half years to further my clinical and theoretical understanding of illness management and options for therapy. This included three months in Germany at Klinik Öschelbronn, six months at Park Attwood Clinic in the Midlands and a year at the Camphill Residential Community in Ringwood, Hampshire.

Returning to Napier in 1984 I used my expertise to expand my work as a GP to include the understandings that come from an Anthroposophic approach to the care of my patients.

After twenty-one years practising in Hawkes Bay I returned to my hometown and worked at Masterton Medical until 2021.

The primary health service being offered by myself at NZDHHC enables longer consultations and more attention to be applied to exploring the causes of a patient’s illness. It also allows for the range of treatment options to be increased to include the prescribing of “living medicines,” psychotherapies and artistically-based therapeutic processes.

Working at NZDHHC gives me the opportunity to work in a more focussed way than regular general practice allows; with people willing to explore an extended understanding of their illnesses and soul struggles. Spiritual Science/Anthroposophy can address and provide answers to questions about maintaining and improving health, as well as managing illnesses.
