Chintal has a background in complementary and alternative medicine and has been teaching for 20 years. She has coached a range of health and wellbeing programmes in New Zealand.
“I particularly enjoy teaching mental health and addiction as this aligns well with my professional background in complementary medicine that lays a strong emphasis on holistic care and person-centred approach.”
She has achieved a Postgraduate qualification in health science in New Zealand and a qualification in adult and tertiary teaching. Chintal has also given back to the community as a support worker.
She believes that every adult learner brings a wealth of experience to class.
“My role is to mold and facilitate their existing knowledge and experience with the new learning. Teaching and learning has to be reciprocal, and this will provide a holistic learning experience for the learners.”
