Kia ora, I’m Tia — Wellington’s first mobile oral health therapist and founder of Wholesome Smiles.

My passion for oral health started when I cared for my granddad with Parkinson’s disease, seeing firsthand how hard it was for him to access dental care. After graduating from the University of Otago in 2018 and working in private clinics, I realised many people—especially those with mobility issues, dental anxiety, or busy lives—need care that comes to them.

Wholesome Smiles brings professional, compassionate mobile preventive dental care directly to Wellington homes and communities. My mission is to support holistic wellbeing through accessible, gentle oral health services, making sure everyone can enjoy a healthy smile without the stress of traditional dental visits.

Currently, I offer mobile care 1–2 days a week, with plans to grow as demand increases. Let me help you or your loved ones get the oral health care you deserve, wherever you are.
