Dr Sophie Febery: GP MBChB, FRNZCGP, FACNEM 

Dr Febery was born in Dunedin and grew up in various places around the South Island.

She and her husband have two teenage children who are home educated.  The family love getting out tramping and canoeing, and grow all their own vegetables.

Dr Febery has a special interest in nutritional and environmental medicine, she will be completing her fellowship with the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine in the near future. She also has a special interest in herbal medicine, and has spent time learning about traditional Rongoā medicine.

Her favourite meal after a long day is homemade butter chicken, followed by blended frozen blueberries with a crunchy coating of dark chocolate and coconut oil. 

Her favourite place is East Peak in the Hokonui Hills - she says there's no better way to de- stress and refresh than a good hard slog up that hill.
