Meet our clinic directors, Rach & Ali
Haerenga Hauora (formerly Northcity Osteopaths) was founded by husband-and-wife team Rach and Ali, who share a passion for making healthcare more inclusive and holistic.
Rach spent 10 years in Whangārei’s education sector, working alongside whānau and children with big behaviours, before retraining as a youth counsellor. Ali moved to Aotearoa in 2013 and has been practicing osteopathy for over a decade, supporting people across all ages and walks of life.
Together, they believe in an immersive approach to health — one that looks beyond symptoms to the root causes and contributing factors. Guided by indigenous models of healing and mātauranga, they see enormous value in blending contemporary and traditional knowledge to support recovery and wellbeing.
