Maddie’s career as a registered nurse in both public and private healthcare shaped her passion for supporting people through life’s challenges. In early 2024, she made the shift to financial advice, where she now helps guide clients through the complexities of financial planning.

“I love advocating on behalf of people,” Maddie says. “Whether it was in healthcare or now in financial advice, it’s about getting the best outcome for each person.”

Her in-depth understanding of the healthcare system gives her clients a real advantage when negotiating insurance terms, particularly for those with complex medical histories. She knows that the right advice and preparation can make all the difference when life doesn’t go to plan.

Maddie holds the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5), with strands in Life, Disability & Health, and Investment. She also has a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences, and additional qualifications in makeup artistry, sport management, and exercise prescription.

Maddie lives in Christchurch with her husband and their two energetic chihuahuas. Outside of work, she’s either “lifting weights at the gym or lounging on the couch -there’s not much in between!”

When asked what she enjoys most about being part of Advice4Life, Maddie says:

“Advice4Life gives me the freedom to advise in a way that feels authentic, with the backing of a team that’s genuinely committed to client-first service.”
