I offer secure Telehealth appointments, so you can access my advice from anywhere in New Zealand. Click here to view all available Telehealth appointments.

During our first appointment, you’ll have the chance to explain what you’d like support with, share your health history, discuss your goals, and raise any concerns.

I’ll ask questions to better understand your symptoms and current nutritional status, and we’ll discuss appropriate next steps. I’ll share evidence-based information as we talk, and there will be plenty of time for your questions.

It can be helpful to bring any recent blood test results along to the appointment. 

After the appointment, I’ll email you a summary of our discussion, helpful resources, and a recommended plan of action.

With your permission, and where relevant, I'll also update your GP or specialist to help ensure you receive the best possible care.

Coeliac disease is one of my key areas of expertise. Having lived with coeliac disease for over 25 years, I understand the challenges firsthand.

• Addressing nutrient deficiencies
• The gluten-free diet
• Label reading
• Monitoring
• Non-responsive coeliac disease etc.

Yes, I have a thorough understanding of, and training in, the low FODMAP diet. First, I’ll assess your symptoms and overall diet to ensure a low FODMAP approach is right for you. If needed, I’ll then guide you through the different phases of the diet, making it simple to understand and follow, so you can identify potential dietary triggers. Click here to get started!

Let’s get back to basics and make healthy eating as simple as it should be. We’ll start by looking at your current diet and identifying positive changes that work for you. I’m able to help with nutrition-related health concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes.

I can assess your child’s symptoms, review their diet, and explore whether specific foods (or other factors) may be causing issues. I’ll provide clear guidance on next steps, which may include food elimination and reintroduction plans.

My approach is always realistic and family-friendly, so it works for everyday life.

Yes, I do. Dietary triggers for EOE vary from person to person. Together, we can review your  current diet and symptom history. I’ll guide you through a personalised elimination and reintroduction process to identify any food(s) that are triggering your symptoms. Please get in touch to schedule an appointment, and we can start getting your health back on track!

That’s absolutely fine, especially if your child is very young. If you think they would benefit from a chat with me, we can always book a follow-up appointment.

I enjoy talking to groups about nutrition. I travel within the Tauranga region and can also connect remotely. Please get in touch to discuss your needs.
