Welcome to Patient Nutrition
About your Dietitian
I'm a registered dietitian based in Auckland and deliver care to clients across the country via telehealth. I work with clients across many areas of nutrition, from general wellness to managing specific health conditions.
I've lived with multiple chronic health issues, which means I understand the complexities of navigating diagnoses, seeking care, and managing your health long-term. This lived experience shapes how I work with my clients.
I'm committed to providing a safe space where you feel heard and truly cared for. Whether that means offering support and accommodations that work for you, understanding your personal context and lived experience, or collaborating with other health providers in your care, I'm here to support you holistically while guided by evidence-based practice.
My approach is practical and personalised, focusing on changes that actually fit your life, not rigid rules.
