Nutrition Consultations in Christchurch

SERVICES

What working together looks like.

Every consultation is designed around you. Whether we meet face-to-face in Christchurch or online from the comfort of your home, my role is to understand the bigger picture, look for patterns and work towards identifying the root causes that may be contributing to your health concerns.

Together, we'll make sense of what is happening in your body, explore the factors influencing your health and build your understanding of what your body needs and how to support it.

A Simple Place To Begin

HOW IT WORKS

From our first conversation to ongoing support, each step is tailored to your needs and goals.

01

A free 15-minute chat

By phone or video. A gentle first step to connect, talk through where you are in your health journey, understand your goals and get a firsthand sense of what it’s like to work with me.

02

Start with your health story

Once you've decided to go ahead, I'll email you a comprehensive intake to complete before we meet. It gives you space to share your health history, lifestyle, nutrition and goals, so I can come prepared to our first appointment.

03

Your initial consultation

Your 70-minute first appointment is where we bring your health story together. We'll explore your history, priorities and goals, look for patterns and underlying factors, and begin to shape the direction of your personalised plan.

04

Personalised research & planning

After we meet, I take time to bring everything we've discussed together. I'll consider your history, relevant testing and research where needed, then develop recommendations that are specific to you.

05

Begin with your personalised plan

I'll send your personalised plan through after our consultation, with clear, practical recommendations to help you know where to begin. You can then start putting your plan into practice before we meet again.

06

Ongoing Nutrition & Health Coaching

Follow-up sessions are available as needed, giving us space to review how things are going, answer questions and learn from how your body responds. Together, we'll refine your plan as your health evolves.

The value of nutrition and health coaching

COMPLETE CARE

Your initial recommendations give you a place to begin. But health is rarely a matter of finding one answer and getting everything right the first time. Nutrition & Health Coaching gives us the time and space to try, observe, learn and refine. We can notice how your body responds, recognise patterns, explore what may be influencing your health and make thoughtful adjustments as we go.

As a health coach in Christchurch and a clinical nutritionist, I bring the two together, combining clinical nutrition with the ongoing support needed to understand your body over time and find what works for you.

Put your plan into practice

Turn your personalised recommendations into realistic changes that work within your everyday life.

Ask questions

Bring questions and observations from what you’re experiencing so we can make sense of what you're noticing along the way.

Recognise patterns

Look at how nutrition, lifestyle, performance and other factors may be influencing how you feel and function.

Explore further

Where questions remain, we can consider what else may be useful to explore, including functional testing where appropriate.

Refine your approach

Use what we're learning to adjust your nutrition and lifestyle strategies as your body and circumstances evolve.

Build confidence

Over time, develop a deeper understanding of your body and greater confidence in knowing how to support it.

Between sessions, you can email me with questions or practical concerns as they arise. I aim to respond within one working day.
