Request an Appointment Course on Hormones

​Women have health conditions related to all stages of life. These are significantly affected by hormones, which also change throughout life. I apply a western medical approach looking at women as a whole.​


We are not static. Things change in our bodies, minds and situations month to month, and year to year. Health is influenced by physical health and mental health. I bring these two concepts together, to help you move forward. I empower women to decide what is best for them. I give informed choices, in both oral and written forms, and time. Time to listen, time to ask questions and time for all of us to put things together and make an individualised plan.

Not just a GP

About

Dr. Samantha Newman

MBChB BSc (hons) PGDipOMG

General Practitioner with a Specialist Interest in Women's Health | Honorary Lecturer at the University of Auckland | Adjunct Associate Researcher University of Monash

​I qualified from Bristol University Medical School in 2010. I started my clinical training in North-west London, and subsequently started Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist Training. In 2013 my husband and I moved to New Zealand. I have been working as a GP since 2015. FemaleGP was established in 2016 to improve access to focused healthcare for women.


​In 2020-2021 I was the Clinic Lead of a GP-led prolapse and incontinence clinic at Hawkes Bay Hospital. I worked as a Forensic Medical Examiner for sexual assault for 6 years and have found this experience valuable to my day to day practice.  It has always been my ambition to focus on women health and run a specialist clinic.  I regularly meet with specialist health care providers in womens health, particularly menopause and reproductive hormone medicine, from all over the world, to ensure I deliver quality healthcare.



I work as a general GP at a local family practice as well as in my private clinic because I believe being an up to date GP is fundamental to providing womens health care.  Womens health extends far beyond the ovaries, and traditional female reproductive organs.


I live the ‘kiwi-dream’ on a lifestyle block in Hawkes Bay with my daughter, husband and dogs (as well as the obligatory chickens and sheep). Out of work, I’m either with my family, playing hockey or running with friends. I also love baking and trying my hand at a variety of arts and crafts, particularly with my daughter.

A note on our language

We often use the term woman when discussing hormonal symptoms and treatments. However, we recognize and support a diverse range of individuals who may experience these health concerns. We understand that hormonal health isn't limited to those who identify as women.



If you have any questions or concerns about your hormonal health, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
