When Cheryl Wiggins tells people what she does at Pharmaceutical Compounding NZ Ltd (PCNZ), they often ask, “Really, what does that mean?” Cheryl is an Integrative Consulting Pharmacist at PCNZ, and here is her story, in her own words.

“For many years working as a retail pharmacist I found it frustrating that I did not seem to be able to make much of a difference to my customer’s lives in offering options to improve their health. It was not until I started having my own health issues that I began to look for other approaches to health, as what I had been doing for so long suddenly was just not enough – I wanted to know more and have something more to offer, for both myself and my customers.

“I wanted to be the best I could be even with a “diagnosis label”. I wanted to be actively involved in my wellness rather than have my illness simply ‘managed’. I became much more positive focusing on how well I could be. I started looking into the whole health spectrum of exercise, nutrition, specific supplements and life balance. I call it ‘active wellness’.

“Luckily for me I was fortunate enough to meet, train and work very closely with the wonderful, late Mike Cushman, Founding Director of PCNZ. Mike set up PCNZ about 15 years ago with a vision of providing health options to as many people as possible. PCNZ is a compounding pharmacy which specialises in making customised medicines and supplements to suit the needs of the individual.

“Meeting Mike and having the privilege to work for PCNZ changed how I see wellness and I am very happy to say I am actively well and grateful for it. Helping others bring ‘active wellness’ and balance to their lives has been more rewarding than I could ever have imagined.”

The PCNZ team is focused on providing professional, science based, technical advice and support to all their customers, working alongside medical practitioners providing personalised and comprehensive treatment options to all their patients. They hire only the best and their dedicated team of pharmacists are readily available to discuss medicines and supplement treatment options and also provide their customers with information on how best to take and manage their medicines to ensure they get the most benefit from their treatment.
