Dr Jane Knight

Bio

Jane completed her medical training at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK in 1995 and qualified as a GP in 2002. She made New Zealand home in 2009, settling in Wellington, and has spent the years since building a career grounded in the kind of care that comes from truly knowing your patients. Over more than two decades in General Practice — including owning and leading her own medical practice until recently — Jane came to love the breadth and continuity that general practice offers: following patients through every stage of life, not just a single problem. Somewhere along the way, women's health became her particular passion. And when Jane went through her own menopause, it changed how she saw the whole field. "It gave me a completely different appreciation for what my patients were going through," she says — enough to send her back into further training so she could offer women something more: compassionate, evidence-based care through the hormonal upheaval of midlife. Today, Jane's focus sits squarely on menopause, healthy ageing, longevity, and helping women feel like themselves again. She's built on her medical training with further study in nutrition and lifestyle medicine, and loves weaving these approaches in alongside conventional care — because she believes long-term health is about more than a prescription. Outside the clinic, Jane lives in Wellington with her husband, two grown children, and their endlessly energetic border collie. She's also a keen landscape photographer, and there's nothing she loves more than heading into New Zealand's mountains and wilderness with her camera in hand — a hobby that keeps her close to the same connection between nature, wellbeing, and a healthy life that she encourages in her patients every day.
