Are you looking for help with your diet, health, or eating habits?
Maybe you’re hoping to feel better by eating well. You might have tried to make changes before but found it hard to stick with them. Or maybe you’ve seen someone for advice but weren’t sure how to apply it to your meals.
You may have even looked online for answers—but with so much information out there, it’s hard to know what’s true.
If you’re feeling confused or stuck, it might be time to talk to a dietitian.
Dietitians are registered health professionals with special training in food and health.
We work at the place where food meets medicine—helping prevent and manage health problems with the right kind of eating.
Meet the team at Diet Consulting.
Helen Gibbs and Millie Keown are both NZ registered dietitians. We are trained to:
- Understand how food affects your body and health
- Help prevent and manage health conditions with the right nutrition
- Turn complex science into practical advice you can use
- Support you to make changes that suit your life and goals
- Work with other health professionals to give you the best care

Who Can Benefit From Dietetic Advice And Support?
Not everyone is ready to make changes—and that’s OK.
If someone is feeling well and ready, dietitians can talk with them about their goals. For many people, changes to food and lifestyle can make a big difference.
Dietitians work closely with other health professionals to support overall health.
After the first appointment, they may suggest seeing another expert first—especially if help is needed with physical or mental health—before starting nutrition work together.
Health Conditions Treated at Diet Consulting
Both of our dietitians are experienced in supporting people with their nutrition, but each has their own areas of special interest.
Millie focuses on:
Gut health
Women’s health
Supporting clients after weight loss surgery
Helen focuses on:
Managing long-term health conditions like diabetes and heart disease
Helping people with complex health needs where diet advice may seem confusing or contradictory
Supporting neurodiverse individuals, especially where eating causes distress
Nutrition for older adults (seniors)

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. Book with her if you feel you need help to improve your gut health
Do We See Children?
As a rule, Helen only works with clients aged 18 and over.
If parents are seeking information on how to support their child with a better diet, or how to prevent eating difficulties—especially if they struggle with food themselves—Helen will consider working with them on a case-by-case basis.
