Miss Zoe Kaihe

Miss Zoe Kaihe

Physiotherapist

Hello, my name is Zoe, I am new to Lifestyle in 2023, after graduating from WINTEC. I have grown up under the Pirongia mountain and have loved what living in the rural community encompases. My family whakapapa back to the Hokianga region in Northland. I have always enjoyed sports but primarily played netball which led me playing at a representative level. With this came many injuries and I had my first physio appointment at a young age, I felt like I grew up at my local clinic. My physios not only helped me with my injury recovery but with the emotional side of growing up and coping with my injuries and I am so excited to be able to now provide the same care and respect for others. I always love a good chat and getting to know new people, I am so excited to start this journey with Lifestyle View details »
