We had a lovely day out at the Rauawaawa Kaumātua Housing and Houora Expo 2026. It is always great chatting with the kaumātua & staff, helping with their asthma questions. The warm up to start the day was fun too.

Device technique is a show stopper when it comes to having great asthma management. If it's not good, your child's asthma will never get any better. If you would like us to check it, send us a video and we will give you a call with some helpful ideas. Technique is something that is an easy fix.

Not only do you get a FREE appointment with us, we have also saved you a FREE carpark right outside the front door. We are located at Chartwell Square in Hamilton, not at the hospital.

It's really disappointing when families do not show up for a booked appointment. Most of these referrals are coming from the hospital. We are a free service and are here to help, educate and support you and your family. We are worth the visit.

Cockroaches can be a trigger for asthmatics. I have found it helpful to spray a NO Cockroaches barrier spray round the outside base of my house, and across the front of the garage to try and limit these creatures coming in! You can purchase this spray can from the supermarket on your next food run. I also spray the ones that come inside with this too! Kills them DEAD!

We do love a road trip! This one was to Insoll Ave School upskilling their teacher aids and teachers about asthma. If you would like us to visit your school , ELC or community group, just give us a call and we can book you in.

Always keep an eye on the counter of your childs inhaler. Counters make it super easy to know when the device is empty, or nearly empty and you can arrange for a new one before it runs out.
