In loving memory of Karina Hilterman

We are sorry to inform you that Karina Hilterman (President 2017-2025) has passed away after a long journey battling cancer. She has been a real inspiration to many, with her passion for all things herbal and her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise.

Karina’s funeral will he held in Paraparaumu on Friday 5th Dec at 11.00am, to be held at “Kapiti Coast Funeral Home”.


The funeral will be live-streamed for those who wish to attend online. Please email Shonagh () if you would like details of the live-stream event, or have a tribute or memory you’d like to share.

We hope her legacy and spirit continue to flow through all of us in the HFNZ. It is now our duty to honour her by keeping her presence alive in our herbal community, in our work, and in our hearts and memories.
