Dr. Rachel Beresford studied medicine at the University of Auckland and has been practicing for 14 years. During that time, she worked in various hospitals in General Practice.

She initially heard about medicinal cannabis through friends who were using plant-based medicine to help with sleep and anxiety. She became a cannabis clinician as she’s fascinated by the potential for natural products to help make people’s lives more manageable and to relieve suffering. She says it’s “great to see more interest and research in these areas coming through in the last few years.”

In her spare time, Dr. Beresford enjoys walking her dogs, cooking vegetarian food, gardening, listening to music and getting out into nature.
