Natalie Snaddon​

Peer Support Facilitator, Wellington & Southland Pain Services, NZ

Natalie lives with chronic pain following a treatment injury in 2006 during cancer treatment. This led to CRPS in her trunk, auto immune arthritis and a compromised immune system (she has had shingles 20 times). She also lives with neuropathy from pernicious anaemia.
 
Natalie brings this lived experience to her role as Peer Support Facilitator with both the Wellington and Southland Pain Services. She is co-chair of the Lived Experience Advisory Panel, NZPS. She has a background in Adult Teaching, Childbirth Education (including mentoring and supervising) and Research. She is currently involved with research in chronic pain with Otago University.
