I believe that healthy eating should be simple, enjoyable, and tailored to your life. My approach is not about restrictive diets or quick fixes—it’s about helping you make sustainable choices that improve your health, energy, and body composition using real, everyday foods (not unnecessary supplements).
With 18 years of experience in nutrition—and 13 as a Registered Nutritionist—I’ve helped countless clients create practical, achievable nutrition plans based on the latest science. I use InBody scans to go beyond weight and BMI, giving you a detailed understanding of what’s happening inside your body, including muscle mass, body fat, and key health markers. This data allows me to personalise your plan to fit your goals, lifestyle, and food preferences.
I focus on more than just calories and macros. I help clients understand when and how to eat, balancing protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and overall well-being to support long-term health. My goal is to educate and empower you so you can confidently make the right food choices—whether at home, at work, or on the go.
As a wife, mother, and grandmother of six, I know that balance is key. Food isn’t just fuel; it’s also about joy, tradition, and connection. While I love nutrition, I also love baking intricate cakes for my grandchildren’s birthdays—because sometimes, celebrating with cake is just as important as eating your vegetables!
If you want a realistic, science-backed nutrition plan that fits into your life (without the overwhelm), I’d love to help.
Let’s make healthy eating work for you, not the other way around.
It is important to note there are lots of people calling themselves a "nutritionist" However, to become an NZ Registered Nutritionist it is a rigorous and ongoing process. You need a relevant university degree and a minimum of five years’ experience. You are also regularly supervised and must prove your competency every three years to keep a registered status.
