About Antara Free Natural Health Clinic

A registered charity, Antara offers free counselling and natural health care to people in the community who cannot afford to pay for it, at its clinic at 66 Taikata Road on the Te Atatū Peninsula in west Auckland. The clinic says it can help with depression, stress, anxiety, back and shoulder problems, pain, allergies, asthma and arthritis. Its services are provided free of charge, and donations over $5 are tax deductible. The charity is run by an incorporated society, and its volunteers give their time.

Antara also runs an earth brick homestay and retreat inland from Pakiri Beach, just over an hour from Auckland and close to Warkworth, Wellsford, Matakana and Mangawhai. The retreat is set among organic gardens, streams and native bush, and offers short and long stays for work on physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It also holds workshops, including a nurture weekend. One guest wrote that the weekend was a treat for body and soul, and another said the clinic helped their stress and worries melt away within a single session.
