Dr. Emma Sandford
Consulting Doctor
Dr. Emma trained as a doctor in England and worked her way endocrinology, dermatology,
vascular and neurosurgery onward into her chosen field of Ophthalmology, where she
worked as a researcher and mid grade clinician for the next 20 years.
Seeing our piecemeal management of diabetic eye disease, age related macula
degeneration and many other conditions she realised there was so much more we
could be achieving for and with patients.
She studied and gained a degree in natural medicine in 2020 and in that year came
across the elegance of ph360 with Precision Health Alliance. This seems to be a
powerful tool in genuine individualised medicine.
Her prime focus since graduating has been mind body practices that help unravel
why patients falls for a disease and what are their mental, emotional and
behavioural landscapes that locks them into that cycle.
She prescribes as little as she can, focusing instead on diet, lifestyle, emotional and
spiritual intelligence and lastly herbs and supplements.
Dr. Emma aims to educate, empower, encourage and support her patients to continue their journey
into self determination and self responsibility to propel them into the best lives they
can lead.
She is comfortable in any realm of health issues from the Integrative Medicine
perspective, meaning that she can use many tools to tailor make your treatment plan.

Lynda Barlow
Founder
With a vision to assist people with their physical health, overall well-being, and strengthen their immunity, Lynda founded Boost IV Integrative Health from her own personal experience with a serious illness.
“Looking for ways to boost my own personal health and immunity, I searched for IV infusions, which in New Zealand were not easy to access. I also found the experience uncomfortable, having to sit there for so many hours. Illness is a fulltime job so fitting in another appointment is always a task rather than relaxing. Combining all of the things I have learned personally, Boost IV was born. It has evolved out of a true passion for people’s health and caring for people’s emotional wellbeing. I have created a place you can relax in an armchair like you would at home. You can watch T.V, a movie, read a book, or have a chat with a fellow patient on a mission to boost their health. It combines time out with an integrative health appointment.
I have put together a team of kind, caring and passionate staff who are here for you personally to assist your journey. We put our patients first ensuring you feel relaxed, cared for, and safe in our hands. We are here to listen, guide, and assist you every step of the way to achieve your goals towards optimal health.”
