Dr Rob Maunsell

Rob’s approach to healthcare involves the examination of the physical, the psychological and the spiritual aspects of life when it comes to his patients.

Born and bred in Masterton, and a graduate of Otago University, Rob combines his traditional medical training with the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner – Anthroposophical medicine.

“Steiner’s teachings suggest looking at the natural environment to gain understanding of human dysfunctions and to provide some useful tools to remedy them,” says Rob.

“As a GP in Masterton I have been able to put these theories into practice as I’ve been able to get more involved with my patients. The use of the local support network, like psychotherapists, also allows us to achieve the goals we strive for – good physical and mental health.”

Rob plays guitar and the harmonica in a blues band but says his first love is being a GP.

“I’m still as passionate about being a doctor as when I first started,” says Rob.
