Justine’s story
Early life and career
Justine was born in Jersey, in the Channel Islands, and launched her dental career as a Dental Nurse. This early experience set the foundation for her passion in patient care. She later relocated to London, where she qualified as a Dental Hygienist and subsequently advanced her training in Dental Therapy. She excelled throughout her education, winning awards at both dental schools as the professions transitioned into the combined discipline known as Oral Health Therapy. Justine has since chosen to dedicate her skills exclusively to Dental Hygiene.
Over the course of her four-decade career in the Greater London area, Justine established a strong reputation for her commitment to high-quality patient care. She is known for her thorough, compassionate approach and her focus on delivering effective, evidence-based treatment aimed at preventing and resolving disease. Justine is deeply committed to supporting her patients in achieving and maintaining optimal oral health. Outside of her clinical work, Justine enjoys staying active through exercise and sailing, and she has a passion for cooking and creative pursuits.
Joining Kowhai Dental
After an extensive and successful career overseas, Justine relocated to New Zealand. She initially contributed her expertise to two practices in Auckland and the CBD. Today, she is proud to be part of the Kowhai Dental team and thrives in New Zealand’s Northland region. She remains dedicated to ongoing professional development and looks forward to supporting the local community with the same high standards of care that have defined her career.
