“My vision is a world where women — from adolescence through motherhood and beyond — feel informed, empowered, and confident in their health. A world where women understand and work with their bodies, where conversations about periods and menopause are open and safe, and where being a woman in sport and in life is celebrated at every stage.” - Catrina

Catrina Del Rosario

Nurse Practitioner

Special interest in Women’s Health and Fitness


My name is Catrina Del Rosario, a Nurse Practitioner, with a special interest in women’s health and fitness.

A litte about me; I was born in the Philippines and raised in beautiful Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand — the place I’m proud to call home.

I am deeply proud of my Pinoy roots and my Kiwi upbringing, two cultures that have shaped who I am and inspire the way I care for others — with compassion, community, and strength.

I’ve worked in family practice for over four years and have a special interest in women’s health and fitness across the lifespan. My goal is to empower women to be proactive about their health, providing care that works with their physiology — not against it.

As a wife, mum of two, and lifelong athlete, I know the importance of balancing wellbeing, family, and performance. This experience drives my passion to help women feel strong, confident, and supported through every stage of life.

Kia ora & Mabuhay!

Personal experience

I am just like YOU, a woman who as a girl loved all sports from running and football, to a young adolescence competing in national crossfit competitions, training during pregnancy, recovering and rebuilding post-partum, a mum and athlete with the goal to inspire my family and children to live a healthy and active life, and to show my girls, athleticism does not end when motherhood begins.
