I am passionate about sharing my knowledge in helping people move towards living a more balanced lifestyle. This can be achieved through healthy eating habits,\u00a0 improving gut health and having a holistic intergrative approach.\u00a0 My background in nutrition comes from a number of years in the public health sector before moving into the private sector where I have been in private practice for over 30 years.\u00a0 I have a special interest in Integrative Functional Nutrition which looks into a new paradigm for enhancing wellness. During the Lockdown I took on more\u00a0 study and\u00a0 completed Foundations of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine through the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine Inc<\/p>\n<p>I was a senior lecturer at AUT University, where I had been teaching in the School of Hospitality and Tourism for 23 years. My role involved teaching training chefs about Nutrition and Food Safety.\u00a0 I left in Feb 2018 to focus more in my private practice to help meet client demands and to follow my passion.<\/p>\n<p>Your first visit is about analysing your current health, what you are currently eating, your medical issues and medication,\u00a0 exercise level, personal concerns, where you want to go and what you want to achieve. By working with you, I will develop a personalized eating plan, incorporating lifestyle changes on the path to improving your total wellness. In view of our current climate, it is even more important than ever to boost our immune system by healthier eating and to reduce inflammation in our body.<\/p>\n<p>This will be followed by regular follow up visits to assess your progress and keep you motivated toward achieving your goals as well as increasing your nutritional knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contact me on <strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">021 733 873<\/span> <\/strong>Or phone the following clinics below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Health Care Medical Centre\u00a0 &#8211;
