What to expect from your appointment

We do not focus on strict diets or quick fixes. Instead, we help you build realistic changes that fit your lifestyle.

First, we learn about your health, routine, and food preferences. Then, we work with you to create a simple and practical plan.

For example, we may help you:

  • Understand your current eating patterns
  • Make small, achievable changes over time
  • Build confidence with food choices
  • Improve your health step by step

As a result, you can develop habits that are easier to maintain long term.

What happens in an appointment

All our dietitians can support people with their nutrition, but each has their own areas of special interest.

Alice  focuses on:

  • Managing long-term health conditions like diabetes and heart disease

  • Supporting clients after weight-loss surgery

Helen focuses on:

  • Nutrition in older adults (seniors)

  • Helping people with complex health needs where diet advice may seem confusing or contradictory

  • Supporting neurodiverse individuals, especially where eating causes distress

Sasha focuses on:

  • Health and nutrition across the lifespan
  • Dietary support for ADHD
  • Weight loss surgery nutrition

What About Gastrointestinal Health?

For specialised care—especially with the FODMAP diet—it’s best to see a dietitian with training in this area.

Millie is our specialist in this area, is currently on maternity leave. We can direct you to other specialist dietitians.

Do We See Children?

We do not see children aged under 14.

We will consider seeing young people aged 14-17 on a case-by-case basis. 

We can recommend dietitians who can see your children or younger people.

I Live Away From Dunedin Can I Still Book to see a Dietitian?

We offer both face-to-face and telehealth appointments.

Currently, we run face-to-face clinics in Dunedin and Oamaru. From May 2026, we will run a Balclutha clinic.

Sasha is Auckland based, and does only telehealth.

Still Not Certain About Booking?

On Monday, each week, we set aside time for complimentary 10 minute phone calls so you can check if we can work together. Please complete this form to get a callback.
