What an IV Infusion Actually Is
An IV nutrient infusion delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids straight into your bloodstream through a small drip. It bypasses the digestive system, which matters because plenty of things get in the way of absorption through the gut: processed food, antacids, antibiotics, stomach surgery or just a body under stress.
Every infusion I give is prescribed, screened against your health history and administered by me personally.
The People Who Book Me
Some of my clients are flat-out professionals trying to keep the tank full. Some are farmers, tradies and athletes backing up after big physical weeks. Some are carers and shift workers who look after everyone but themselves, and some are supporting their health through illness or recovery.
If any of that sounds like you, request the menu and we’ll talk about whether an infusion fits.
What’s the Process
From first enquiry to sitting in the chair. No surprises anywhere in it.
-
Step one
You enquire, or you just book
Fill in the form or message me and I send you the menu with full pricing, usually the same day. If you already know what you want, skip straight to booking. We talk either way before your appointment.
-
Step two
We settle on your base
Every treatment starts with a base blend chosen for you. If you want to top other things up, we add them on and it’s easy to pin down on the day.
-
Step three
You book online
Pick your slot online. I may ask for a deposit to hold your spot, and it comes off your total on the day. Two short forms then come through to fill in, and you’re welcome to get them out of the way now: the health consent form, which you sign, and the prescription form, which comes through after you book.
-
Step four
I sort the medical side
I consult with our overseeing doctor, Dr Simon Bristow, who reviews your history and writes your script before your appointment. First-time clients pay a one-off $65 script fee for this, and it covers you for 12 months. All the background work is done before you arrive.
The menu is suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If your health needs are more complex, book a phone call with me first and we’ll go through it properly.
What Happens on the Day
- 01
We double-check your consent details and your pre-arranged script.
- 02
Gentle cannulation for IV access. Clients regularly tell me they barely feel it.
- 03
The drip runs 30 to 45 minutes. Relax, read, scroll your phone or chat. I’m good value for a yarn.
- 04
Allow about an hour all up. Come well hydrated, have a light meal beforehand and wear something with easy access from the elbow down.
Prescribed, Screened, Nurse-Administered.
This is a medical treatment and I run it like one. Every client completes a full health questionnaire before anything is administered. Every infusion is prescribed under New Zealand law by our overseeing doctor and administered by a registered nurse with over 30 years of clinical experience.
Some conditions mean an infusion isn’t right for you, and I’ll tell you that straight in our phone consult. No treatment is worth doing unless it’s safe for you.
Where to Find Me
Individual appointments run on set clinic days at Extraordinary Skin and Beauty in Kamo, just north of Whangārei, on Tuesdays, Thursdays until 6.30pm and every second Saturday, and at The Wellness Hub, 2a Lemon Grove, Waipapa, just north of Kerikeri, on Fridays.
Group bookings are the exception: for those I still travel across Whangārei, Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands, to homes, venues and workplaces. Tell me the numbers and where, and we’ll plan it properly.
