ABOUT ME
Elly McKenzie — Tauranga-based nutritionist.
I'm here to help — whether it’s navigating a specific health condition or making simple dietary tweaks to optimise your mental and physical well-being.
I believe in offering friendly, practical advice tailored to you—no fads, no diets, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just evidence-based nutritional support that works for you long term.
I'm always happy to work alongside other health professionals involved in your care.
If you spend hours searching the internet for information, are confused about what your next steps should be, or are struggling with what to eat, then get in touch. Whether it’s in person at my Mount Maunganui-based practice or remotely, I can help set you on the right track.
Qualified in both theory and practice.
I offer a unique blend of professional and personal experience.
