Born in Auckland, Mary-Rose completed her Master of Nursing (MN) at the University of Auckland. She brings a dedicated foundation of clinical care to the Cannabis Clinic, specializing deeply in Mental Health and Addiction Services. Based in Kaitaia, Mary-Rose combines her advanced academic training with a profound commitment to community-focused healthcare.

Introduced to the field by a colleague, Mary-Rose chose to specialize in medicinal cannabis to offer a genuinely alternative approach for individuals living with mental distress and addictions. She is particularly passionate about the meaningful impact medicinal cannabis can make for Māori and Pasifika communities. Her clinical focus centres on supporting those navigating substance use disorders, as well as persistent and severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorders, providing a safe and culturally responsive pathway toward healing.

Outside of her clinical practice, Mary-Rose cherishes her quality time away from work, loving nothing more than traveling and exploring new places with her family.
