Are you looking for help with your diet, health, or eating habits? That sounds like you need to see a dietitian.
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. These are all things that can be addressed by seeing a dietitian.
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 Dietitian team at Diet Consulting.
Helen Gibbs, Alice Nettleton and Sasha Stevenson are all 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 Advice and Support from a Dietitian?
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
All our dietitians can support people with their nutrition, but each has their own areas of special interest.

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

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.

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.
