ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Elly — a Tauranga-based nutritionist (NSNZ Associate Registered).

With a degree in food science and a postgraduate diploma in nutrition, I’m here to help —whether it’s navigating a specific health condition or making simple dietary tweaks to optimise your mental and physical well-being.

I believe in offering friendly, practical advice tailored to you—no fads, no diets, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just evidence-based support that works for you long term.

If you spend hours searching the internet for information, are confused about what your next steps should be, or are struggling with what to eat, then get in touch. Whether it’s in person at my Mount Maunganui-based practice or remotely, I can help set you on the right track.
