About

Get to know Mahalia

Kia Ora, my name is Mahalia.

I am a Dental Assistant here at ‘The Dentists’.

I was born in Tasmania but moved to New Zealand in 2012 to be closer to my family and learn more about my Māori culture.

We lived in Te Kuiti until 2016 then moved to Whanganui where I attended Whanganui High School.

I had an interest in Agriculture but changed to Skin care and Beauty and I completed a Level 4 Beauty therapy course at UCOL in 2022. I’m very pleased to be working here. :) I enjoy interacting with our patients and learning new things every day.
